Nasri will now be pure poison in the dressing room as he was in the French squad. Don't put him anywhere near the ground for me.

couldnt agree more keep him away

Nasri, Toure & Dzeko shouldn't play again. Replace Nasri with Milner and possibly Zaba for Sagna and I think that has to be our starting
eleven for the rest of the season. Let's just grind the wins out now and try to get top 3.

Just what is it about us that we can't seem to secure or win anything the easy way?? All season we are challenging for the title and then seemed to have second place at least sewn up.....but oh no that isn't good enough for us is it?We now have to sweat on even qualifying for the champions league!

Poor old Khaldoon eh? He must have really believed it when he gave that address and said ''Forget typical City,those days are gone!''.......those of us who have been around for a while just smiled and thought....''You'll learn!'' lol!

Give Jovetic a run of games alongside Silva and form a front 3 inverted triangle if you will, Lampard can then play from deep knowing he has cover behind him in Jimmy and Ferdi?

Hell, we've tried every other formation, so nothing wrong in giving this a whirl IMO :-)

Made me chuckle this one Paulo :-)

Lampard to start for me. He looked good against West Brom although I accept it was against ten men.

The defensive situation worries me a bit. Mangala was all over the shop when he came on.

Good job West Ham are equally as shite as us.

That is our problem and has been all season our defence.Every team now fancies their chances against us as they know they will at some point score. Keep our attack quiet and they have won,restrict us to one chance and it's a draw.

We should be able to put out any eleven of our squad and beat this lot.

But because we have lost trust in most of them we are all struggling to pick a team.

very true. A year ago, not so. Constantly being so predictable gives the opposition a big advantage. The failure of the new signings, for whatever reason has been crucial as well

 

[IWasHere]

You know we've been shit this season when some people want Lampard to a play

 

[ninjamonkey]

Hart

Zab MDM Mangala Clichy

Fernando Fernandinho

Milner Silva Jovetic

Aguero

What we should be playing.

of course it's not what Pellegrini will pick. It will more likely be something like this

Hart

Sagna MDM Mangala Kolarov

Nasri Fernando Yaya Silva

Bony(dzeko if he's not fit) Aguero

Tend to agree

It speaks volumes that the last time that Dzeko looked remotely sharp was when we had Bony waiting in the wings
Nasri seems to exist for the purpose of blowing smoke up yaya's arse and yaya's 'Mr Big' is no longer effective...........

... He seems to have lost the hunger .. he is being selected by reputation rather than on form..

All 3 can 'do one' , for my money ... and by he way, it is my money,as an ST holder, as it is for every match-going fan

[Ray78]

It's time we stopped feeling sorry for ourselves. We can do this. Start off with the same intensity against in the Derby and don't let our heads drop at the first time of trouble.

 

[mancityscot]

he'll play 4-4-2 probs

What? When? He offers nothing. West ham will sit deep and he will ferret around and cut back every time and pass inside. He will do this four times before deciding he should try a cross which will hit the first defender.
