Against Bournemouth or will he play Bony up top and Nasri/KdB in the Silva role?

I'm hoping for Bony, Sterling, KDB, and Navas. It's all about the pace 'bout the pace, no Nasri.

Play the way we did against WBA on the opening day.

i think it'll be the Brown slotting into the role for Silva and he and Sterling swapping around left and center spaces as they see where they each can find space. Navas on the right. Basically, Kevin slots in for Silva and Bony for Kun and we see what happens. If Bony looks like dog poo after 45 mins i'd bring the Nacho in and send him a message.
Nasri off the bench only if we need some control in midfield and want to play the false 9 with either sterling and brown playing that role. Or both.
cheers

I reckon Sterling will be benched if Nasri is fit and if yaya is OK i expect fern2 on the bench

Think he will persist with Navas Kev and Sterling, Nasri as sub for any of those, move one of kev or Sterling central.
Bony/Nacho up front.
But in all truth this should STILL be more than GOOD enough for the next month.
Big Key issue is no more injuries........ OK Vinny butter calf's, got it?

Since Nacho isn't available for Europe and since we're playing a newly promoted side I'd like to see Nacho start this one. And make it clear to him that Pellegrini wants to see what he can do when given a chance. (He'll probably go with Bony though)

He should (
must) go with Bony. Assuming Aguero will miss a few big games for us this season, we will rely on Bony to step in and deliver in a way that we could not reasonably expect from Nacho. That means managing Bony's confidence and helping him build form. If you drop him for the (very) junior man, it'd be a right kick in the teeth and could have a damaging knock on over the next month. Equally, a Saturday 3pm at home against a team who'll play a bit of football could be a great chance for Bony to get going and start feeling a bit more like the main man (who sent Dzeko out of the door remember). I can't wait to see him bag a couple, start to play a bit more freely, hit the ball cleanly and bully some defenders.
Nacho is the first and only change available (beyond Sterling going up front or whatever) - he'll get enough chances off the bench.

I'd go with Nasri and Bony as like for like replacements.
Bony needs a run as the main man, and I feel Nasri would revel in the role behind the striker for a few games, again getting a run in his favoured position that he's rarely had the opportunity for in the last few years.

Since we are forced to make some changes it would be crazy to then make even more changes and a new formation at the same time. Bony to start, Cliché at left back if no Kolarov. Not too bothered whether Nasri or Sterling gets the nod in midfield, might be tempted to start with Nasri and bring on Sterling after 60 mins, could be better for Sterling and Nasri should be 100% fresh.

Bony is a proven Star of this league. About time he does it for us and again at the scum, where he has the number of Smalling and the other scumbags. A couple on Saturday and get him off. The Aguero one is a piss take, we took him off after an hour or so. City need to put the FA of of all our players, in the frame, no more risking our players when they are carrying a knock.

We're almost powerless to prevent it Hazy, the only thing we can do is convince the individual players themselves not to take risks.

I know, as you say, the players must be upfront, Sergio is almost always carrying or returning, what we will ever see is respect for the club Martino is looking at the bullet so does all he can to get himself a win. Rednose would have made noises after the 5 goals to the tune of no point in even travelling.

Me too...but alas I think you're right.
