anyone else just not enthused for this game at all? It comes on at 740am stateside, stoke away, weather I mean if we win great but I literally have no expectations going into. I'm expecting us to play like shit to come in with the same tactics that always get us some 1-1 draw or 1-0 loss.

Maybe that's a shit attitude but I can't stand everything that represents that fucking club be it the fans, manager, players they're a close 2nd to united

I don't mind Stoke really you have to admire them, they have their game it's no secret, but it serves them well, we have more than enough talent and ability to see them off

------------Hart--------------
Rekik-----Kompany----Nastasic
-----------Garcia-------------
Milner------Silva---------Nasri
Tavez------Dzeko------Aguero

Nasri as a wingback? Been drinking battery acid? Rekik is left footed too.

Dont know yet, still young (16) we pinched him from the river plate academy last thursday i think. He seems to have impressed loads and thats why he goes straight to the first team on saturday. Exciting times for city.

Looks good.

So Charleslos is his first name, i know it was char something. I cannot find clips of him training in the site, even on you tube. I think the club is really shielding him for now. But the general consensus is that he is really talented and his name on the team sheet will shock a lot of people come saturday.

Stoke away in a cup tie is not a fixture that anyone can really be looking forward to. It'll be a battle and we need to go into expecting a hard physical game on a compact pitch. Not really our forte these days. I still think we can win - just, but I'm predicting a 1-1. We will take them apart in the replay at our place.

wow, negativity on here is pretty incredible. we are on arguably our best form this season and coming up against a team that are on a terrible run. People should watch extended highlights from earlier in the season, we had plenty of chances and their only goal was Crouchy's basketball shot. Can field a full strength team as well except for Yaya. Can't keep on excepting these bogey grounds, we ended Arsenal away curse, great time to end our wait for Brittania win.
Stoke 0- City 2.

It will be the usual war of attrition v Stoke away. Niggly, physical, little flowing football, long ball stuff from them to get high up the pitch and win the second ball etc. Therefore :

Hart, Zab, Komps, Lescott, Clichy, Barry, Garcia, Milner, Silva, Aguero, Dzeko.

Likey to be a draw or one goal either way to decide it.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

We seem to be coming into form as and stoke are struggling i think we will win by at least 3 goals .

i dont disagree and tbh if there were anytime we were going to break our miserable run at that place it would be right now when we've hit a really good stride

i wont be surprised if we beat them based on the way we've played recently but im not holding my breath either

All pitches in the Premiership are the same size?

Should we rest Zabba and some of the players , i m sure we can beat Stoke with half of strength ,they are the worst team i watch this season against City and they form even drop.

Hope the fog doesn't cause any issues on Saturday as it is forecast for Saturday Lunchtime in Stoke. Can't wait for this one.

Will be interesting if RM goes for Natty or Lescott. Been so impressed with the young lad this season but RM seems to like Lescott against the more physical sides. Never easy going to Stoke but were on a good run and hopefully will continue.
My only concern is we play next Tuesday away at QPR and if RM has an eye on that, he might choose to rotate slighty. For me, this is not a game for the likes of Nasri as he doesnt seem to have an impact against this type of opposition.
