Pre Match Thread | Man City v West Ham

[Luke The Blue]

I'm sure Kev will be fantastic for us but to say he is better going forward, he has yet to prove that with City and in the PL.

Going off what I watched when he was at Wolfsburg (not much to be fair) and when I watched him at the world cup yeah I would say he is better going forward but until we see whether he can do that with us is a different story, but when he come on against palace he looked like he could be an assist machine. However like I say I'm a fan of Navas and he really works hard for the team. I just really want to see De Bruyne Silva Sterling and Aguero.

Disappointing to see so many of us hoping for Navas to be dropped.

He seems to be an easy target and I'm not sure why. Along with Sterling he's had a few poor misses this season, but for the most part he's performed better imo.

Silva, KDB, Navas for me.

I don't think we are in a position or indeed need to drop anyone, but we do need to make sure that players are getting sufficient game time so that they're not rusty when called upon. To that end, I'd keep Bony up front and play Sterling, de Bruyne, and Navas, but that probably explains why I'm not a football manager. :-)

I wouldn't be surprised to see that front today

As a huge fan of the English league, I'm upset the league is over already by September. Man City are cruising to the title, with all the rivals in dire strait. This will be an easy victory for City. The enjoyment of English league is gone already, unless we are talking about the fight for 2nd spot.

I think the work rate that Sterling and Navas have brought has been the difference this year, especially in tracking back.

Is it disliking Navas to think that he's better suited to playing as an impact sub, more effective in the last 30 mins than the first?

Yet I'm enjoying this season immensely, as are all other City fans. Hopefully it'll carry on like that for the foreseeable future. Not sure if I can muster up enough fucks to be given about any neutrals not feeling the same. That probably sounds harsher than its meant, but the truth is City's success means more to me than other supporters enjoyment of the English league.

You do know there is another 8 months of the season to go?

Look I like Navas but I think we all know De Bruyne is better going forward and I think that's why a lot of fans want to see De Bruyne in. I don't see it as disappointing because a lot want to see that amazing front 4 finally play together.

I don't see the issue with anyone wanting De Bruyne in, but I can't fathom why it would be in place of Navas rather than Sterling.

Silva missed last week through injury, Navas sat out midweek, unless Sterling was on a superb run of form (which he most definitely isnt), I'd be surprised if it's not him who's rested.

Either way, we could go an early goal in this one. After losing midweek, I don't want us conceding first and confidence levels dropping.

2-1 City - Toure first goal.

You obviously are not aware of the city tradition of doing things the hard way and putting our fans through hell
