[Kompany is King]

Is Fernando fit?
Any news on Delph?

 

[celf]

Nothing coming out of the club is there?

Pic of delph doing what I assume is light training.

Fernando on a team pic was wearing flip flops when all the others had boots on, so again I would assume he's working with the physios.

Only my assumptions though

Hart

Sagna
Kolarov
Vk
Mangala

Yaya
Fernandinho
Navas
Nasri
Sterling
Silva

Plenty of high tempo pressing please

 

[LHarper]

Pellegrini favouring 4 3 2 1 ?

Sorry, that's just the way I wrote it, I would expect it to be 4-3-3. Fernando on the left of the midfield 3 to cover Silva and Kolarov.

 

[aguero93:20]

What's the story with Clichy?

Suffering from microorchidism again.

 

[Barcon]

Suffering from microorchidism again.

That's a big word for half six in the morning. I'll look it up later.

 

[goldeneye]

for one game would play Kompany as holding midfield in a 4-2-3-1

 

[Smithy_]

for one game would play Kompany as holding midfield in a 4-2-3-1

Really?

Hart
Sagna
Denayer
Mangala
Kolarov
Garcia
Yaya
Zucculini
Sterling
Silva
Bony

Garcia looked really good to me only way to find out how good he is is to throw him in to the deep end! Zucculinis got a good engine so could help out Yaya (anyone but Fernando ffs!)

 

[CityFan94]

If Fernando and Delph are both out, Fernandinho is going to have to be thrown in.

We can't play Yaya in a two with a youngster. No way.

Fernandinho/Yaya/Zuculini midfield trio would probably be my preference. I'd love to see Garcia start ahead of Zuculini, but I doubt Pellegrini would do that.

Front three of Silva, Bony and Sterling. I don't want Nasri or Navas starting here.
