Wigan Athletic vs City Pre match Discussion Thread

A lot of you are obviously underestimating Wigan and expecting us to batter them. It's a tricky fixture so lets not get cocky.

Full strength and try and put the game to bed early on. Then we can think about rests.

Said before the Villa game that it makes me nervous when everyone assumes we'll batter a lower-in-the-table team. Worked then like a charm, so I'll say it again in regards to Wigan, "it makes me nervous when eveyone assues we'll batter a lower-in-the-table team."

that was at home. we are way worse away! Chelsea for example should have been beaten by us...but away games are tricky.

All those saying play full strength are crazy. We have 9 games up to new years day, a staggering amount of games. This is the perfect game to rest some.

Hart
Maicon
Kolo
Lescott
Kolarov
Yaya
Garcia
Nasri
Tevez
Sinclair
Balotelli

Subs: Pantilimon, Kompany, Zabaleta, Barry, Milner, Silva, Aguero

A wise team selection except I would put Yaya on the bench (as a kick up the arse) and play Milner instead.

I will take a lethargic 1-0 win. Save our energy for the toffees cup final

"as a kick up the arse" REALLY?

Slightly beside the point but do we all reckon Nasty will play? Gonna put him in my fantasy team!!

Definitely.

If we match their work rate then our better players should shine. Yaya needs to step up
