Man City v Stoke - Live Thread

Another massive 3 points needed tonight. Team-wise, looks like Kompany is fit, but Otamendi was dropped for the Sunderland game, so can't see him getting into the first XI ahead of him.

For me:

Willy
Zaba, Stones, Kolorov, Clichy
Fernandinho, Silva
Sterling, KDB, Sane
Aguero

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 4:38 pm

Reckon Sterling will be rested. No way will he drop Yaya...

by blueboy Wed Mar 08, 2017 4:47 pm

He should, the bone-idle fucker. Razz

The only change I can see is KDB coming in for either TLMLF or as you say, Sterling. But that means KDB playing on the left and Sane on the right - and we lose that pace, which against a Stoke team, they'll be shit scared of.....keep the SAS formation...worry about lazy bollocks and KDB.

David Silva is dropped to the bench while Raheem Sterling does not feature at all for Manchester City.

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 7:05 pm

I think that's the end of my FF challenge Sad

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 7:06 pm

Jesus Navas!!!!!! Sad

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 7:07 pm

Kompany can't get in ahead of Otamendi and Kolarov Shocked

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 7:17 pm

In fact, Kompany can't even make the bench.

by TMG Wed Mar 08, 2017 7:32 pm

Frickin Navas !!! Sterling must be injured Sad

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 7:36 pm

Yes, Bluey said yesterday that my triple captain may not play because of injury Sad

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 7:43 pm

Aguero captain tonight. Ahead of Yaya, Fernandinho and Kolarov...

by blueboy Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:00 pm

They are saying he was rested.....but I heard he picked up a knock - I did warn you. Very Happy

Come on City - 3 points, 3 goals, come on!!!

by blueboy Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:18 pm

I know it's only 15 mins in.....BUT

Why is Sagna playing that role where he goes into MF???

TLMLF - sorry, he's had a few decent games, but he's fucking bone-idle.

Otamendi..... Rolling Eyes

Navas - FFS, if Jadon Sancho can't get a chance ahead of this cock-womble!!!

It's utter guff.

We miss Silva's control in MF.....get that lazy wanker off the pitch!

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:19 pm

not great defending so far

by Guest Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:19 pm

Navas this generations Gerry Creany, seriously what is the point?

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:20 pm

I've seen Yaya chase down a back pass with good vigour. So I'm not sure how lazy he is so far

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:20 pm

we've offered no real threat and we aren't keeping the ball either

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:21 pm

Sagna and Navas down the right Sad

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:22 pm

Far too many basic errors

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:23 pm

Great saving tackle from Diouf

by Guest Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:30 pm

Two footed though Dawg,

by Guest Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:31 pm

Time wasting already, so bastard annoying

Whoopy fucking do! Isn't that just the basics for any footballer???

He's occupying Silva's role....and basically jogging around the pitch doing basically, fuck all.

I've admitted when he's been good, but even my lad who likes him, said "what's the point of him so far?" He's offering 20% of what Silva does in that role...and we've no creativity as TLMLF is occupying the space KDB should be in.

by Guest Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:33 pm

Will take 1-0 now, they are here for 0-0

by Guest Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:37 pm

Leroy leroy leroy, wasted

by Guest Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:42 pm

Navas not even a championship player, slows every attack and zero end product

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:44 pm

really terrible half from us

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:45 pm

get navas off and silva on. move kev out wide right

by Guest Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:45 pm

Silva is on the bench we desperately need him

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:47 pm

good chance at the end, but poor overall

by Paulpowersleftfoot Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:50 pm

We need Silva on to get Sane into the game
Especially as I've got him as triple captain

by blueboy Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:51 pm

Utter shite.

KDB...what's happened to him? In 2017, he's been distinctly average. He needs to pull his pisser out as well.

Get Silva on this pitch....the first off Navas.

Pep can't look at the quality of Navas and think "hmm, he's what we need" He's utter guff.

There is absolutely no creativity in the No.10 role. KDB is running into any possible space not occupied by the lumbering Ivorian Tower. If I was Sergio, I'd be seriously pissed off....he's getting nothing.

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:52 pm

Silva would have got the ball right to Sane. Kev delayed too long and let him run offside.

by **leopold** Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:56 pm

I'm sat in my seat at the stadium and I'm cold and bored. We aren't even trying and they are happy to draw. Navas is poor, Kev isn't on it at all, TLF is just lumbering around, Serge is spending way too much time out wide. The only player putting in anything like a shift is Sane. Get Silva on the pitch!

I was wondering when somebody was going to mention KDB, his passing in the first half had been abysmal, continuously conceding possession with poor passes

by TMG Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:58 pm

If Sterling has been rested its a very very poor decision from Pep. Navas offers nothing. He is fucking useless. Stones would be more useful on the wing than him

by ManCityMan Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:58 pm

Silva is the catalyst, the glue that keeps it all connected GET HIM ON! Nolito would be better than Yaya at the moment

by ManCityMan Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:59 pm

It's depressing listening to these pillocks warble on about how good Stoke have been and how poor City have been. Even more depressing is that they are right Mad

by ManCityMan Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:01 pm

Silva is getting ready

by blueboy Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:02 pm

Agree MCM....I've been really underwhelmed with him this year. He seems to be a yard off the pace and when he has the ball, he seems to want to constantly force a pass that isn't really there.

Maybe it's time for him to be benched for a few games, a la Sergio and get him back up to speed, as he's nowhere near the player of last season.

I'd be pissed off if I was Sergio. He's working hard, but there's just no penetrating passes coming from KDB, TLMLF, Navas or Sane.

Get Silva ON THIS PITCH!!!!!

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:07 pm

not a good start to the 2nd half. silva please

by ManCityMan Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:07 pm

Awful defending, if they go one up they will park the bus a la Stoke

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:08 pm

Clichy was just jogging back for that knock on

by ManCityMan Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:08 pm

Woeful pass again KDB what a chance

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:09 pm

even if he's not injured, take him off

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:09 pm

they are outplaying us. we will rely on luck or individual skill

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:10 pm

fucking twat sane - diving

by ManCityMan Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:11 pm

should have scored great square ball from Sane
