Viktoria Plzen pre match discussion

[Rocket Sauce]

CITY XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (c), Nastasic, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Jesus Navas, Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko

Is this the confirmed XI?

Yes, it's confirmed.

I think it's a great lineup. Glad to see that Pellegrini is going for it. Wish we had Silva, but that's the way things go sometimes. With the quality in this team, we should be able to win this easily. But, City being City, we'll probably find it difficult.

We rarely play well when Nasri and Dzeko both start, hopefully we can start tonight. I hope we're not rushing Vinny back to quickly.

These players all tell everyone they want to play CL football, well its here, so show us that you can.

Delighted to see Kompany back in the side, feel a lot better now.

Hope we line up 4-2-3-1 with Nasri central and Aguero left. This will allow us to dominate midfield and Nasri's so much better in the middle.

Good point about the players' usual rhetoric about CL football.
Tonite's the nite boys - go prove yourselves.

We've never been able to make 2 up front work in Champs League, I hope MP knows how.

Will the return of Kompany make up for the return of Dzeko?

Subs are Pants, Lescott, Milner, Garcia, Rodwell, Negredo, Jovetic

Very bold line up. Might have been inclined to go for Milner ahead of Nasri, but other than that........ No excuses!

Strewth thats what I would have expected on Sunday unless Clichy and Silva were was fully fit.

No excuses tonight I would reckon.

Slight re-organisation and its about right.
