Stones saying it’s more likely after Christmas before he returns ..bugger cheers for moving that ..

Seems he isn't too keen on Jesus starting at the moment.

Or more pertinently, reacting when he is tackled

Very true.

Resting Kompany, Sane, Fernandinho tomorrow is essential. We need them for the derby. Suspended for Swansea but so be it.

All this resting players is nonsense, apart from Ferna possibly.
A team needs to be picked to win the game first of all.
If as a result of that, players can be rested that's fine.
I am all for player rotation, but let's get the game won, keep the winning run going, keep the team spirit high and the steamroller rolling along.

I can understand it,why would you run the risk of getting a hammering,teams will set up to give themselves a chance it’s boring as fuck but although it hasn’t worked ( so far) for Huddersfield or Southampton it did sort of keep them in the game with them hoping for corners or free kicks.

Exactly! The world expects them to get nothing, goal difference is often important at the end of the season and no-one enjoys a busy holiday season getting 4 or 5 put past them! This Hammers team is already a bit fragile, they have players missing, and Moyes can’t afford another shellacking, so he’s doing what he can to not get one! Don’t blame him and just hope City are getting more used to what to expect from bottom 6 teams and have plans to address “the bus.”

Nothing to be gained by rushing him back before he's ready. Hopefully Vinnie can stay fit for the next few weeks. If not, we have to trust the Mangler to fill in.

I just hope we get an early goal if we can,completely changes the game for them and doesn’t see us get frustrated...

Just got this awful feeling that KDB, Sane and Silva could miss the derby through injury or suspension today. Worried to feckin' death

Really hasn’t been at his best recently, honestly. Agüero’s getting more chances each game & finding himself in better positions. Plus he creates way more.

Only issue is that he’s still a bit rusty converting those chances. Maybe he just need some consistent starts to get going again.
