I'm going for Hart, Zabba, Ota, Mangala, Kolarov, Fernando, Delph, KDB, Silva, Navas, Aguero

Kelechi on for Aguero after 65. Rest Fernandinho for Tuesday. Yaya on for Delph if fit. Maybe Manu Garcia for Silva or KDB as third sub.

Hoping for an emphatic win. Can't let the rags catch us.
 
'They're a good side, no question, but then again for the money they've spent- what is it, three billion punds?- they should be. I'm just glad what we've achieved this season and the points we've already amassed...' TP

Any variant of the above will do me come Saturday night.
 
I think KDB should rest Saturday. 4 games in 10 games is not ideal for a player that missed the time he did. We will need him for longer than 60 minutes Tuesday. Should start Kelechi under Aguero Saturday
 
I'd gamble and save our key players for Tuesday.

Hart - Zab, Ota, Mangler, Kola - Navas, Fernando, Delph, Nasri - Iheanacho, Bony.

West Brom won't be interested in attacking anyway and if needed we can bring on KDB, Aguero, Toure(?) or Silva. Fernando always scores against them and believe it or not but I think Bony will score as well. 2-0 City.
 
I can see some players being rested namely dinho,kdb and Aguero.
Important pellers doesn't forget we need to win still, 4th is a must. Mind you, he won't give a shit.
 
the only bit that is easy is the full backs.

-------------------Hart
Zabaleta--Sagna--Mangala--Kolarov
----------------Demichelis
----------Nasri---Silva--Delph
-------------Iheanacho-Bony

With Aguero, De Bruyne on the bench.

I can see us losing this or drawing because we really have to rest players with the PSG game on Tuesday.

Maybe a game for garcia.

They'll be fans saying we have to play Aguero etc but will they be 100% and what condition will they be in if we need to play them against PSG which of course we do

Unforunately Sterling is out and Nasri looked way off the pace. We don't have many options. I'd see if we can sneak a win with rested players, then if in doubt use the subs bench
 
Stick or twist?
Surprised some are recalling MDM.
What 2 players can we not afford to lose for the replay against PSG?
KDB is one. Aguero the second.
Rest them Saturday.

Demichellis...You have got to be joking?
 
Must win

Agreed. Keep the defence unchanged. Would be good if we could get some rest for KDB, Silva and Aguero. What the status with Yaya?
 
Hart ,Zabba , Otto , Mangers , Kolo , Delph , Ferny2 ,Navas , Nasri , Garcia , Nacho.
 
With PSG wrapping up the title they will rest all eleven this weekend & save them for Tuesday. Pellegrini needs to get the balance right against West Brom to keep players fresh for next Tuesday.

For me i would go against West Brom
Hart
Zabaleta Mangala Otimendi Kolarov
Fernando Delph
Navas Nasri
Iheanacho-Bony

I think Kevin has had enough rest and he is the key to winning matches.

Yaya ? Dunno but imagine how fat he'll be in his return if nasri and Bony are anything to go by
 
----------------------------------Hart
Zaba------------Otamendi--------------Mangala-----------Kolarov
-----------------------Delph------------Yaya/Fernando
De Bruyne/Navas----------------------------------------------Nasri
--------------------Bony---------------------Iheanacho


Sagna, Clichy, Fernando, Fernandinho, Aguero all need a rest. However one of the Ferns has to play if Yaya isn't back.

Then 2 of Navas, Silva and De Bruyne need a rest, tempted to say play De Bruyne as he needs the fitness.

I'd agree with that. I expect to see changes though. IMO he won't pick the full backs that he intends to play on Tuesday.
 
no fucking around and players can be brought off if we have a decent cushion.

hart
zab
otamendi
mangala
kolarov
Fernando
dinho
yaya
de bruyne
silva
aguero

Of course Nasri is not match fit as he has been out for months but he has to start somewhere. I would have though he was nailed on along with Delph to start this game against West Brom. We will lose or draw if we put out that team above starting Bony and playing Demichelis in midfield after what he has been through!!

More likely he will load the bench. Also doubt if we will see Yaya before Tuesday at the earliest.

If he starts with that team I might just fuck off home before kick off. :)
