Pre Match Thread | Sunderland v City

[Yates]

Roberts over Navas, surely Pellegrini, surely this could be accommodated? Ah well, hopefully Aguero can get his shooting boots back on and mightely disappointed about Kelechi missing out!

 

[Man city fan 72]

Can't believe he's picked such a strong line up, and where the fuck is Iheanacho? Or Bony for that matter, don't say injured, please.

 

[BigOscar]

They've pretty much picked their strongest lineup as well, except with a keeper swap. So it's pretty much just a premier league game with a bench full of youth because our entire squad is injured

Cos I'm happy......

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

yet again no youngsters !!! what is the point, literally one of the only games they will get a chance. I mean navas has been awful yet roberts doesn't play

 

[Dipsis_LTU_MC]

Navas again. Just fuck off.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Dat bench :) hopefully we get the goals so we can bring three of them on.

 

[Lancet Fluke]

Wonder whether there would have been much more rotation if we'd won on Saturday?

 

[nehe11]

Pellegrini being holistic again....

Sunderland: Mannone, Yedlin, O'Shea(c), Coates, Van Aanholt, M'Vila, Rodwell, Johnson, Toivonen, Lens, Borini.
Subs: Pantilimon, Brown, Cattermole, Larsson, Gomez, Defoe, Fletcher.

MCFC: Caballero, Sagna, Otamendi, Demichelis, Kolarov, Fernando, Yaya Toure(c), Navas, De Bruyne, Sterling, Aguero.

Wtf?! We've got Spurs on Saturday and we're risking most of our first choice XI.
