West Ham (h) pre-match thread

[Josep]

If Pep plays Sane, likely Germany will call him for qualifiers. Pep doesnt want that. He has just recovered from injury, hasnt done full training with the team yet. So will not play him until International break is over. Use all the 15 days to get Sane upto speed with our players & system as much as possible.

 

[ws01]

Caballero
Zabaleta
Stones
Otamendi
Clichy
Fernandinho
Silva
De Buryne
Sterling
Nolito
Aguero

With Sane named on the bench and hopefully getting a run towards the end.

Successive 2-1 home defeats to Juventus and West Ham marked the end of City's fantastic start to 2015/16.

We need to win this one going into international week. WHU are well managed and have good players notably Payet who is due back for this.

team selecton: Put Bravo straight in? Clichy or Kolarov? Navas, Nolito or Sane? i think I'd go for Nolito with Sane as a sub

-----------------Bravo-----------------
Zab------Stones----Otamendi---Clichy
Fernandinho----De Bruyne----Silva

[QUOTE="mancity dan, post: 9669984, member: 20373"]I still can't figure out how we lost the home game last season. Baffled.

As others have said, we will have more rested players than West Ham, as they are playing tonight, and they do seem to have a few injuries.

One great thing, is the fact Andy Carroll is injured, as he always seems to do well against us.

3-1 City.[/QUOTE]

Robert Madely I believe.

You lot can be totally relaxed about Sane. Low would never risk a player's health, not even in a home friendly vs Finland....

Our offence department - now I mean City of course! - will be fresh and hungry. Will be quite different compared to yesterday.

Great to know that Tosin and Angelino are ready to go. Was really impressed last night!
Especially as I was not really happy about Clichy's performance.
Maffeo did well, but had some problems too. Needs to be more confident like the other 2 kids.

In case Bilic needs to be convinced: come on Bony, time for a hattrick!! :))

 

[Sergio Picasso Aguero]

Bravo
--- Stones -- Otamendi
Zabaleta - Fernandinho - Kolarov
- Sterling --- Silva -- De Bruyne - Nolito
Aguero

Caballero, Maffeo, Clichy, Delph, Navas, Sane, Iheanacho​

I think virtually everyone is going with this lineup. I would say it's our strongest eleven until Kompany, Gundogan and Sané are available.
