But Zinchenko’s ineligible

Why is Zinchenko ineligible?

 

[Silva_Spell]

Ederson
Danilo Stones Otamendi Delph
Fernandinho
Gundogan Silva
Sterling Aguero Sane

I am hoping Silva is back for this.

We have badly missed him in the last 2 games.

 

[come-on-barney]

Cant wait for this game and hopefully get today out of our system. Hope David is back.

 

[bellsouth]

Let Kev rest til Liverpool. Pray (if that’s your thing) that Silva returns. Hope Delph is back.

 

[brummie blue]

with Jesus out and KDB out or given a rest - we have more than enough to beat Watford

 

[The Riot Club]

Get today's debacle out of our system. Absolutely need to win this and win it well, shut all the rag cünts up before they start saying the wheels have come of and we've been found out (despite being 14 points clear). Cockney and rag sheep getting giddy because we got a point away from home against an in form side with a shit referee.

Need to batter Watford, get our mojo back.

Hope Kev is ok, but the game is probably too soon for him. Need David Silva back asap.

And please City, whatever the cost just fucking buy Sanchez.

Need Kun to start scoring again.

 

[OhSoGroovy]

I at least hope we get Delph & Silva back

 

[jamesha]

Hopefully Stones or Kompany will be back to help the buildup from the back and Delph can return at left back.

Ditto Spanish Dave in midfield

Assuming KdB will be out I would go with:

Ederson
Walker Otamendi Stones Delph
Gundogan Fern D. Silva
Sterling Kun B. Silva

Gundogan and Bernardo get in because there are no real alternatives at the moment. They both need to get up to speed pdq.

Not much in terms of proven game changers on the bench so we will need to score early to establish control. Good opportunity for Diaz, Zichenko etc.

Why is Zinchenko ineligible?

Same reason that Jo was always cup-tied. Bluemoon humour.

 

[Delphinho]

Drop Sane please, he has been dreadful for almost 2 months (except the Spurs game). Would love to see Brahim being involved

 

[come-on-barney]

Need to score early otherwise see this being a tense game. As has been said need three points as the dippers game will be tough.

 

[Blue Coop]

Our most important game for a long time now having just dropped some points. Crucial to win this and stop any momentum shift, especially with Anfield coming up next. The gap is huge, let’s keep it that way.

Hope Delph, Vinny and Merlin all back

Surely the first two will be after Pep said they were available for today

Well Stones is so I doubt vinny will play even if fit.

Silva is key to us. Hopefully he will play.

 

[MarsLlama]

Let's not forget how much better we look with Stones than without.

I think Stones coming back in to the team is much more important than Vinny to be honest.

 

[MarsLlama]

Kompany doesn't get into our best XI anymore if I'm honest.

 

[chaddblue]

Agree, completely forgot about him tbh

 

[mosssideblue]

We need more urgency than we have seen of late. First half today was pedestrian - hair dryer from Pep needed tomorrow
