Sergio Aguero

[Puppet Master Silva]

Yeah, i don't really understand why people can't see this either. It's all well and good in the short term, instantly reuniting Negredo and Aguero, but later in the season, when someone has a knock and we need a big performance from Dzeko in a big game... he wont give it because he'll have the hump. This could be the difference between progressing in a competition and getting knocked out. Also, i always feel like home games against Cardiff provide the perfect opportunity to make one or two selections with team morale in mind, as opposed to outright picking the best 11 players. Maybe that's a little bit disrespectful to Cardiff and similar teams, but that's the way i see it and they are the kind of team selection 'risks' that should be taken in such games if we're to truly compete on all fronts.

The thing is that he WILL be put on the bench at sometime as will Negredo and Aguero. No one can play every game we've got coming up so at some time he'll have to accept being a sub without going into a sulk. I'll trust Pellegrini to handle the squad dynamics.
That said for Cardiff I'd start with Aguero and Dzeko because I'm still sure that Negredo is looking just a little bit leggy. He can always come on for Aguero later on if necessary to ease Kun back in.

Of course he will be on the bench at some stage, and many more times. But the point is that now is not the right time. He's scored 6 in 6 whilst Aguero's been out (i think) and Sergio has only had 18 minutes on the pitch. It's not right to then suddenly start Aguero and have Edin on the bench. It seems a bit disrespectful to do it at this particular moment. Well to me it does anyway.

If he's fit, you play your best goalscorer. Simple as that.

No. Man management is not that simple, as others have said. Pellers seems to be as good as Bobby was bad in this area. I trust him and his team to handle it.

Nothing like. Keeping all three strikers happy takes priority when we should still have more than enough for Cardiff. It's not an EDS lad keeping Aguero out of the team, they're all excellent strikers.

Edit: Agree above that Negredo could do with a rest, but I'd rather give it to him in an away game, seeing as he seems dead set on getting the Etihad renamed to "Alf's house".

Start Dzekp and Jovetic against West Ham. Play our best strike force against Cardiff. Easy.

Is Aguero ready for a start though? I could well see Dzeko/Negredo for Cardiff and Aguero/Jovetic for west ham, give the two who are coming back from injury the easier game with some youngsters on the bench and Give Alf and Dzeko the midweek off as they've had a lot of games recently.

Cracks me up too, but it is a weakened team, as he needs the minutes on the pitch.
Hammers mate of mines response to me telling him we were putting a weakened team out was "oh fuck off with that one, we all watched that munich game!" :DDD

 

[colesy]

Negredo and Aguero against Cardiff, Dzeko and Jovetic against WH.

 

[City_Sean]

i'd bring him on at half-time, hopefully we will be 2 or 3 goals up.

Correct. You hardly ever see Suarez, messi or ronaldo rotated.
