Vincent won't be playing 100% he will be rested for this game. Kev will come back into the team as will silva, stones, Fernandinho etc.

I'd like to see our first chance converted tomorrow, getting sick of seeing missed opportunities. Cut out the mistakes as well. Full strength team, we should beat them.

It would be nice to see a few opportunities. The problem is not missed opportunities, but lack of them. (A couple of missed pens - we've created incredibly few chances).

Everything points to City getting as much football into him as possible. I think he'll start again, but with Barcelona coming up, probably play no more than an hour. Kompany coming through the next 2 matches unscathed is probably more important than the result itself, because a match-fit Kompany is a Vieira, Adams, Terry or Lampard. A player whose presence on the pitch raises their team to another level.

The positives coming out of the Derby were the experience for the young players, and more minutes under the belt for Kompany. And we're now able to look at the next two games and play our strongest team.

I don't think he will play just because of the fact that pep will be 'wasting' a sub if he has to come off at half time. I know he needs game time to get his body back into it again but if he keeps coming off what's the point?

I expect maffeo to start if we play 4 at the back. Garcia won't play if de bruyne, Fernandinho, silva and sterling are all starting.
 
Fuck it.

Bravo
Kolarov
Fernandinho
Gundogan Silva
De Bruyne
Navas Sterling Aguero Nolito Sané
 
Will be good to see maffeo start if pep goes for the 4 at the back again. I expect vinnie to be rested so he can start the barca game. Personally would go with kun and Nacho up top for this one and don't see why kdb can't start as it was only a knock and not a muscle injury.

Bravo
Nico
Stones
Kolarov
Ferna
Kdb
Silva
Sterling
Nolito
Nacho
Kun

Can't see vinnie starting imo
 
We've struggled in our league games recently because we've come up against teams who have two big center halves who bully the likes of Aguero/Iheanacho. They have been staying incredibly tight and stopping any chance of our forwards creating a bit of space. That's what a Pulis team will do tomorrow. IMO we need two forwards to combat this.
 
Kompany has definitely got to start for me. I'd also play Kolarov at centre half due to his height. In an ideal world, see if we can get a couple of goals in front and then substitute him.

His physicality is a must in a game like this and we all saw how much we miss him when he was substituted at the swamp. Can't see Otamendi or Stones being able to deal with Rondon.

Maffeo in at right back, Fernadinho and Gundogan as your sitting midfielders, Silva at ten, Nolito and Sterling either side of Kun.

Rest KDB and Stones for the Barcelona game.

Really tough game but we should get through it and claim the three points.

Physicality of Kolarov? You must have been watching a different player to me in recent years.

He's got more physicality than Stones or Otamendi plus height...

He is absolutely shite and the further away he is from any city team the better. Whenever we are under any pressure he will always fuck up. The only games you can play Kolarov are ones you will totally dominate. The man is an out and out fraud. Turning it one for 3-4 games at the start of ea h season just doesn't cut it for me.

I don't blame you, I would do the same. It doesn't matter what end you're in, you are still watching the same game.
