This is like having to play nine FA Cup Finals. My blood pressure is never going to stand it.

 

[andrewmswift]

This is on twitter. Not sure if confirmed lineup

Matt O'Mara ‏ @MattOMara95

Hart,Zaba,Richards,K Toure, Kolorav, Dejong, Y Toure, Nasri, Silva, Balotelli, Dzeko

If that's true, i would rather Mario not be playing

Just checked his twitter, it's just his prediction lol

Happy with that.

Aguero finally finding some form lately. Mistake to drop him.

 

[LoveCity]

Mario? :x

They will try and wind him up.

 

[MaxMCFC]

fk sake no sergio!!!

 

[Adam-mcfc]

No aguero?

Understandable I guess as he's been poor away lately. Rather have him than Balotelli tbh but i trust mancini

No Sergio :(

Must want tall players

Would expect Sergio to get subbed in if we struggle

Aguero really should of started instead of Mario for this game

One reason, height.

[lee-mcfc]

where is milner?

Neither of their long throw machines (Delap, Shotton) in that lineup unless they have a third?

 

[Maccaaaa]

Roberto opts for height upfront to counter Stoke's defensive power. Apparently Aguero missed training yesterday possibly due to injury #MCFC

 

[sam-caddick]

Mario should not be starting this game; he has not earnt the right to with recent performances and I would of rested Silva as well.

We should have a strong bench today!

Sergio has a foot injury? not on the bench
