Pre Match Thread | Sunderland v City

[moomba]

All those moaning at the line up would be the 1st to have a go if we lost playing with a load of kids.

Would they or have you just made that up?

...so you do think we're too good for this competition? Or perhaps this trophy just isn't good enough?...

where did i even put that haha

a first team with one youth player means we are too good for the competition xD

 

[wagonman]

Just stop bloody moaning. All out on all fronts suits me. If this was a prem game what would the team be? Do we all think we're too good for this competition now...

Manuel was dammed if he did and dammed if he didn't tonight! The youngsters are on the bench for hopefully game time but a trophy is a trophy! Certainly thought Roberts for navas might have happened though

Exactly.

If Aguero, Yaya and co do their jobs effectively then there should be plenty of time left in the match for a few of the young ones to come on.

If they don't, then I'd rather them get some more match sharpness before Spurs.

Totally behind this selection it is absolutely the correct decision.

We have had a terrible week.

Losing 3 on the spin is not something we can contemplate.

Time to get it out of our system going into 2 huge games.

Fucking stupid. Stupid manager.

 

[wagonman]

The hate for Navas in here is nothing short of diabolical when you consider him and Sterling have both demonstrated the same strengths and weaknesses in their start to the season.

Well said Sir...

yes? because we played like shit. if you replace Navas with Roberts you don't think that line up is good enough to beat Sunderland who only has won Exeter this season?

Certainly is, I´m in agreement with you. It riles me up when people (not you) assume wer´e going to lose bc we have 1/2 youth players starting.

Can't ever recall bony getting injured for Swansea, yet he's never fit for us.

Spot on, never injured at Swansea, but injured in his first week at City. And from then on he's been a complete glass back.

Jesus the fucking doom and gloom on here before we have even kicked a ball. Lets just see how it goes FFS.
