Pre Match Thread | Man City v West Ham

Agree he never had much impact on the left against Juventus, seems obvious really Sterling on left, Silva and De Druyne switching between central and right

But with Sterling on the left, we'll get more powder puff left footed shots from him. I think in the coming weeks we'll see our attacking midfielders play in several positions as Pellegrini tries to work out the best configuration.

I just hope we get to see the front 6 everyone has been waiting for

Fernandinho, Touré, De Bruyne, Sterling, Silva, Aguero

Tell me about it.... been waiting for the West Ham game since Tuesday night I just wanna see the starting 11, to be fair though I even like looking at the bench now haha.

For me Sterling on the left, Silva on the right, and De Bruyne in central position. Silva is used to playing on the right and cutting inside and does it well, De Bruyne is just settling in the team and it would be better to play him in a position he is most comfortable with. Anyway, I don't expect us to trash them, they are a decent side, 1-0 will do.

The floodgates will open if we score first early on! This a team that has been beaten at home by Leicester and Bournemouth!

Yep it's about the 1st goal and if West Ham do get it we have the players to still go on and win those clubs don't I'm my opinion

They are like United, decent against the big teams. We need to be careful.

Watching them the other night, I would personally play Navas and Sterling and pick between KDB and Silva. Their only threat is on their wings, Moses would run off De Bruyne all day long. Silva looked jaded the other night. I'd give him a rest.

.................Hart........
Sagna..VK/Otamendi Mangala AK
.........Ya Ya Fernandinho........
Navas......De Bruyne......Sterling
..............Aguero................

Solid yet creative. Resting Silva, get Aguero off as soon as the game is won..

Anyone concerned they've won at Arsenal and Liverpool so far?
