International Matches

Sagna had an assist with a really nice cross but was off at half time with an injury. My source is Le Monde. No idea whether it was his ankle or not.

Icepack on his ankle. Seen limping.
Time for maffeo on Saturday.

Cant see that someone else will be shifted to RB.

Who? Sagna, Zaba and clichy are all injured. Maffeo was on the bench against Watford and now there are no senior players fit for his preferred position.

But will Pelligrini take a risk and play him, maybe, but not his form to date. Think he will he opt for the experienced option and possibly ask vinny to do a job there, not ideal, Bring Ota in beside mangler. Vinny is not a natural RB but Maffeo has no experience.

Juve next week too......

Why oh why did we ever let Milner go!

I would argue that his versatility held us back at times.

Proper players that know a role well > generalist horse faced grafters

Cheers

In terms of dumb ideas I'd give that a 10/10.

Herb you can fucking rack that as vile bullying bollox for your bookkeeping.

Time to bring up my previous suggestion which sunk without a trace: Navas as a wingback/Kolarov conversion.

[iwasthere2012]

Does anyone think this is a runner:

Hart
Vinny MDM Mangler
Navas Fern1 Yaya Sterling
Silva Brown
Kun

Anyone, anyone......no ... I'll get me coat.

[Dameerto]

Not with three central defenders (in my opinion).

[Beefymcfc]

Oh I can't wait for tonight's game and the big fuck off shrek-fest that will overshadow the game. Tyldesly will be wanking at every touch and the shreeks of 'Wooooooonnnnnneeeyyyyyy' everytime he gets a chance will see me kicking the screen in.

Oh the fucking joy, just hoping our Raheem puts him to shame.

I'm quite worried about the Palace match. When will the South Americans be back? Palace are a decent side with pace up front and a real attacking threat. Very good atmosphere in a small ground. I'll be absolutely thrilled with three points.

Yaya has had a week off; he will beat them on his own.

[zuricity]

Anyone know what the odds are for an own goal being the first goal for England tonight ( and therefore beating wooney to 50 ) ?

[Wonderwall]

Hart. Delph sterling and milner all start tonight

Oops old habits die hard

[South Stand Balti]

Yes that's a really good idea....get your coat.

Fernandinho joined the USA vs Brazil goalfest in the 65th minute. Please play safely, City players!

As expected, Demichelis, Otamendi, Tevez & Messi are in the starting XI for Argentina vs Mexico, tonight. Thankfully, Aguero is on the bench and will hopefully be rested.... Although with 6 goals in 3 matches, I won't be surprised to see Sergio added, if they're struggling for goals...
...75th minute and once again, it's Aguero & Lavezzi to the rescue... just minutes after they're subbed on and it's another goal for Aguero, followed by another for Messi... Extra bonus points, for giving some match time to Otamendi & Demichelis, with no injuries to the City players.

[WhyAlwaysMe?]

Some of the many international matches, featuring City players:
Oct 8th @7:45 PM UK-- Albania vs Serbia / France vs Armenia
Oct 9th: 12:30 AM UK-- Chile vs Brazil
1AM UK-- Argentina vs Ecuador
7:45PM UK-- England vs Estonia/ Spain vs Luxembourg
Oct 10th @7:45PM UK-- Andorra vs Belgium

Yes, I'm sure that most of us resent these international breaks, which seem to interrupt City's successful momentum. Nevertheless, most of our City players seem to be in the spotlight, for these qualifying matches.

I want a Sterling-Hart perfect record for England... And instant healing for Delph!

Let's just hope that #10 shirt becomes an invisible force field, to protect both Aguero & DeBruyne! Messi has challenged Aguero to wear his #10 shirt, during his absence... same shirt Kun now wears for City... Score six, against Ecuador & Paraguay, Sergio!...And practice time for Zabs, Otamendi & Demi to perfect their back 3.

De Bruyne will also be wearing the #10 shirt, for Belgium, in a playmaker role.
I want more goals for KDB & leadership from the bench for Kompany, with Denayer filling in for the captain.

David Silva has been a shining star for Spain... Del Bosque should wrap Silva's ankles in steel!

I especially hope that Aleks Kolarov will stay safe & strong, in a match that should have been entirely cancelled!
Forza Kolarov, Fernandinho, Mangala, Sagna and all the rest of our players!

Couldn't give a stuff about any of the games or results, just want players back injury free.

If the corrupt idiots of FIFA & UEFA had any common sense, they would schedule all these international matches during months, when the clubs are on vacation. So, we woudn't have to deeply resent & worry about these matches, harming our club's season.
Also, the national teams would truly benefit from longer training & match time together, instead of a couple of matches, here & there.

Despite being opposed to when the matches take place, I do take pleasure in seeing our City players show off their talent, for their respective national teams.

Your suggestions only works if every league in the world played during the same months. The Argentina and Brazil leagues are off during November through January.

The majority of Argentinian & Brazlian stars from their national teams, are playing in Europe & not in South America. Those that are not, would have to get time off from their clubs.
Just fantasy speculation... The much bigger priority is to dismiss the entire FIFA & UEFA hierarchy & start over, with totally new leaders... With a new vote for the World Cup 2022!

I am watching my national's team game and at this score we are at the Euro, because Hungary is 0-1 down with Faroe.

Romania's games this year:

1-0 with Faroe
0-0 with Northern Ireland
0-0 with Hungary
0-0 with Greece
0-0 (half time) with Finland.

I think we reinvented the catenaccio.

That door is firmly bolted.
