Swansea vs City pre match thread

Good team,minimal changes

Good enough to win

Spot on Karen. No disrespect to Vinney, but, glad to see MP hasn't messed about with the back four again, nice to see some consistency in team selection for a change

 

[Gray]

I hope included that big lazy bugger in midfield doesn't backfire on us!

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

not one young player on the bench again ...

They played yesterday

and ? at least one should have been rested yesterday and pellegrini should have said i want to put one at least on the bench. We have someone like jovetic or dzeko who are going to leave

Pretty excessive to say the least, but its a vital game, like every single game we will ever play, so those kids can fuck off cos unless they're called messi they ain't getting near the bench.

so basically no kids will ever play.......

Which is a stupid attitude to have and means that players like D.Suarez will keep leaving for frees to Barcelona. Guessing it'll be Lopes leaving on a free next, probably to Bayern or Madrid.

The Suarez that's not getting in at Seville ?

 

[BigOscar]

Lampard and Yaya in midfield, hard to be optimistic. Fernandinho better be ready to do some serious running

 

[the god Gerry Gow]

who is on the bench?

Does he track back?

Funny, I saw him score a screamer volley in a European quarter final?

At least Jimmy is on but Fernandinho will be fcuked after today

The problem is we have to worry about compensating for Yaya and Lampard as well as the danger men in Swansea.

That is weakness we need to address next season, we can't have passengers.

And he's played 31 times this season for Seville you numpty.

Like Lopes has played over 30 for Lille.

But of course they can't sit on our bench. Let's keep 4 goal a season Jovetic and Dzeko on there instead.

 

[Marvin]

Just seen the team. How on Earth can we pick Yaya Toure and Lampard in the same team?

 

[abu13]

I am liking the formation and the fact we seem to have settled on a back 4, i would have liked to see Fernado instead of Yaya and maybe Jovetic in for Lampard but I cant really fault the line up other than maybe a lack of legs.
I hope we go with this formation next season.
good luck lads, lets get a win today which should guarantee 2nd place.

Worryingly one-paced in midfield and out wide - underlines just how poorly stocked we are in certain key areas in the squad.

Still think that if the defence is prepared to get up the pitch and compress the game, we'll be fine and win comfortably. If they don't, expect them to find acres of space in behind Toure and Lampard and cause us plenty of problems.

After his last showing I'm not sure I'd use that phrasing. ESA is still trying to find some of his crosses.

 

[themanc]

Jovetic fit WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kaz7]

We are ruining bony according to sky

 

[bobmcfc]

We better friggin win today !

Which one. We need to secure second place you take your strongest squad available.

Can't wait for the headless chicken to join the dippers don't know why Pellers is still playing him.

Stand corrected .
Looks like he's staying there another season as barca don't want him back yet
