Sunderland Vs City Pre match Discussion Thread

Game changers on the bench if needed.

Lescott playing a high line worries me. Garcia isn't the greatest in a 2 man midfield too, hopefully our attacking firepower is enough

 

[Blue Coop]

Chance for Nasri to carry on his good form and show we can rely on him when Silva is out.

quid on 5-2 city @ 66/1

It is a good team and we should win but why change a winning team apart from injuries when the international break is coming up.

I'm happy Richards is in, he needs games and is a class player when he gets a run. Clichy has been shite this year, so between him and the even worse Kolarov its all a bit meh. I'm happy we are playing 3 in the middle, gives us a stronger backbone away from home.

3 in the middle ?

will it not be Yaya, Milner and Garcia with Aguero, Nasri and Negredo further up? Or am I wishful thinking?

We've got to keep these penned in their own half. Garcia doesn't fill me with confidence and we've got both centre backs that haven't played together.
Can't stand playing Sunderland.

I can't wait till after the international break, hopefully no more injuries and we can have a pretty much full strength team for xmas

 

[Rammy Blue]

We will struggle to dominate posession today, they will chase us down and we haven't got enough quality to move it around.

It's going to be scrappy, imo, and we need Sergio and Beast to fire us to the 3 points.

I predict we will dominate possession. Extra man in midfield will help with this and our quality should then show.

I will remind you of that after the game. Plus we haven't got extra man in midfield and with Lescott, Garcia, Kolarov and Milner playing we will not have the fluency we normally do as they aren't the best at retaining the ball.

Garcia has great passing distribution so he can still help us link up down field.
