Good news if true.

He is in the starting 11

Who the fuck is Ryan Corless? Is he someone important?

Another City Watch writer...

No Payet or Noble for them so we have the edge strength wise but got to watch out for Carroll. Got goals in it this game 4-2 to us.

It's is birthday as well today haha

Sit back and enjoy 1-3 no problem, cmon blues.

Not exactly thrilled with the team but the injuries in midfield and sending out the young fullbacks really limit our options. I'd have liked to see Aleix in there, but without any holding players available it's probably safer to have Yaya alongside the makeshift one in Zaba, it might have been a tough ask to put Aleix alongside Zaba.

Happy with that, about the best we could field right now.

Nice to see John Stones back in the starting XI.

What was the point of splashing 200m on the academy if you're going to start a RB ahead of one of our brightest talent that is Garcia. Geniunely can't understand Pep sometimes. It's like having pellegrini in charge or even worse

Zaba did ok there before,i forget which game it was

You can't catch Karen out that easy.

Sorry. Bit slow tonight. Been a long day. Hoping i don't fall asleep before kick off.

 

[jimharri]

Stronger side than I was expecting.

 

[cibaman]

Sterling played centrally for most of the 2nd half against Burnley, including when he accidentally set up Aguero. I wonder if he'll do the same tonight.

 

[discopop]

Had a slight knock so won't be risked with fernandinio out for 4 mate

Cheers mate hadn't seen anything about a knock, makes sense

 

[Ban-jani]

Fuck me strong team.

Genuinely thought we'd rest a few.

 

[NorCalBlue]

Carroll in from the start - there's certainly no mystery about where other managers think our weakness lies. If we let them put a lot of balls into the box, either him or Antonio will score for sure, so we need to keep them on the back foot and close down any crosses as though we're blocking a shot.

well, i can understand the frustration, but "even worse" than Pellegrini is a bit harsh!

You wait till Stones lines up at RB and Clichy at CB ;-)

This is the sort of comments which irritates me.



Why start the manager on a negative footing before anything has even been announced? Serious questions?

You might as well say 'Dave will have serious questions asked about him if he's late for work tomorrow'.

What a stupid tweet,just wait for the team,i've gone right off that lot

Not sure why you post that drivel in here. Especially if it irritates you so much.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Bloody Carroll is starting for them

To drag us all down.

 

[SWP's back]

Who the fuck is Ryan Corless? Is he impotent?

Probably
