Stoke Vs City (FA Cup) Pre match Discussion Thread

No Balo in starting line up.

Not surprising is it? We played a full strength side (bar Pantilimon) against a Championship side at home. We're at Stoke away today, so we were always going to go full strength here as well.

Without Clichy, we will probably struggle at the back. Obviously being rested to cope on Tuesday with that electric winger at QPR, Sean somebody or other.

Starting line up is as expected. Will be interesting to see how Pantillimon deals with corners and long throw ins in and around him. Hopefully we can pick up the win today and avoid a replay, but a replay is better than going out. Come on City.

Well exactly the team I predicted,,,the only change being Nasri in for Silva,,,I do think Merlin should had been rested

rested for what? It's not like we got champ league midweek and he did had 4 weeks off being injured anyway


good team this, tevez and dzeko need to step up as aguero is ready for action again...

Mario not on the bench... is he ill again?

Match is live on TV on Nova Sports here in Czech republic - cool. And it is here, very cool, minus 16 outside at moment

 

[Marvin]

Subs: Hart, Clichy, Rodwell, Sinclair, Aguero, Rekik, Lopes

Good to see Rodwell back. No Mario :-(

Mario not on the bench... is he ill again?

No he's just sick now that he realises that even Bob thinks he's a total tosser and waste of space too

 

[Rammy Blue]

Nasri not even on bench?
