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
--Nolito-------Aguero--------Sterling

is payet definitely back for them?

[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.

 

[St.Pauli support]

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.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Reckon he might change it slightly for this game, can see Delph coming in after having a good game yesterday

-----------Bravo

Zab-Stones-Otamendi-Clichy

---Fernandinho-Delph

Sterling---Silva-------Nolito

---------Aguero

 

[simon23]

will bravo go straight into the starting 11 with only a couple of days training???????? tough one but his experience in the way pep wants him to play could mean that he does

No De Bruyner, I can't see that personally.

I'd go with:

..........Bravo

Zab-Stones-otamendi-Clichy

.........Fernandinho

Sterling-De Bruyner-Silva-Nolito

..........Aguero

Only my opinion, Pep will decide the team and tactics, but one thing is for sure I can't wait for the game and really looking forward to it.

 

[aguero93:20]

You can shove your Claudio Bravo up your arse....

?

He's been bought because Pep believes he's the perfect keeper to play his style, other than a few basic tactical things he should be ready to play the way Pep wants within a training session. He'll play.

No De Bruyner, I can't see that personally.

..........Bravo

Not for me, looked a bit lost these last few games, would like to see Delph in there, think his energy an drive would work well with the likes of Silva/Sterling/Aguero in front of him.

People think zaba's better playing than Sagna? Been quite impressed with Sagna playing His new system... He injured for this weekend?

I actually think that Zabaleta seems like a superior player in Pep's system, yes. But Sagna is indeed injured for this game and will only be back after the internationals, so Pab's place is a given.

Bravo will start
