Sunderland Vs City Pre match Discussion Thread

Rodwell was bought to play fifa 14...

Man City: Pantilimon, Richards, Demichelis, Lescott, Kolarov, Milner, Toure (C), Garcia, Nasri, Aguero, Negredo #SAFC

Very industrial

Thanks for that mate, never knew the team till your post.

Haha my fault, I was having a laugh in the Spurs thread and the team stream app alerted me.

A lot of wee bitches in here. That team is good, and should win.

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.

 

[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.

 

[jimharri]

Not to sound like a complete RAG but we're playing one of the worst teams I have ever seen in the Prem and fully expect 5 or 6 today. You could put me in the back 4 today and we'd keep a clean sheet.

6-0 City, Serge hat-trick.

Don't agree with this kind of mentality,they were very unlucky against the rags .With a bit more composure could've been out of site.

Which site? Here? Rag Cafe? LobsterTube?

Have you ever travelled to watch City at Sunderland? Its like the pitch turns into a ploughed field and we have diving boots on as soon as we cross the white line, jinx club
We should do it today though 1-2

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

Not looking forward for the game. Kompany, nastasic, dinho and silva missing is a huge blow. Hoping lescott and Garcia prove there worth.

3 in the middle ?

Sunderland are shite but I'm still worried.

The team should have been....

-------------------------------------Pantillimon----------------------------
richards--------------demi----------------------lescott------------------kolarov
navas-----------------milner------------------------yaya----------------------nasri
---------------------------aguero---------------------negredo---------------------


They are weak at left back so Navas should have started, he would have had a field day.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Game changers on the bench if needed.

 

[SrilankanBlue]

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.

 

[mat]

quid on 5-2 city @ 66/1

 

[Gaudino's Perm]

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

 

[2sheikhs]

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.

 

[SiMCFC]

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

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.
