Pre Match Thread | Man City v West Ham

[mac]

Least hope last night was just a blip and we get the 3 points to maintain momentum. Back at home so will the hammers play on the break.

They played together at Porto I believe.

As a partnership at City. We'll surely have different tactics to Porto. Play a different way. West Ham are beginning to pick up points under Bilic and I don't think we should tinker just yet.

Hammers, Arsenal and Swansea are the teams I fear at our place this season.

They all play effective counter-attack and West Ham have great pace about them at moment.

Might not be pretty, a win will do of any sort.

They've already won at Arsenal and Liverpool so they will fancy it on Saturday. Definitely one of those games that the first goal is crucial. We score first and they have to play more than they want. They score first and it could be a tough game to watch.

Subs: Caballero, Aguero, Nasri, Fernando,Iheanacho, Sterling, Maffeo.

I don't think Kun will be risked here. Can see Sagna and Fernandinho getting rested very soon too.

I think this is the game where we being to rotate, not that I necessarily agree that we should. One eye on capital one squad too.

Agreed, we don't seem to be scoring early in games lately like we did in Pellegrini's first season in charge, hopefully that changes on Saturday and then I think we could tear them to shreds.

How do you expect him to improve if he doesn't have game time?

 

[pellgreedy]

Does anyone know if Zabaleta will actually be available? Some sources are expecting him back for Saturday, no idea if he is back in training or not yet

Right lets get back to winning ways - big game - clean sheet and 18 points. 71 more and we are Champions. (Would allow us 23 wins 2 draws and 7 defeats) That's the priority.
