Really am fed up seeing Yaya in a two man midfield. He's not up to that role and looks lazy when asked to do it. We can't play Yaya, De Bruyne, Silva and Sterling together, it's even worse at hard work than the much maligned Yaya, Silva and Nasri midfield.

City XI: Hart, Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Toure (C), De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Bony #cityvsafc #mcfc

So vinnie starting

Not disappointed with this

I would like vinnie to come on and get some game time today ahead of the Leicester. Let's hope we can put it to bed early and then take it down a gear without switching off completely!

Agreed. Like the attacking intent myself. We are at home to one of the poorer teams in the league. An early goal or two and it could be any score. If the four forward players can't unlock Sunderlands defence then we don't deserve to win the title IMO

I hope you are right but I can't see that line up putting any Prem game to bed early. Maybe it's just me but that staring lne up shows how far we have fallen back. I was enjoying my scoop in Mary Ds til I saw that. We were supposed to be getting 3 players back from injury but none of them start and Aguero is on the bench.

The only problem being is that BFS will play two lines of back four :-(

Very disappointed with that line up. MP has no respect for the opposition. Midfield surrendered and Bony and the hapless Sterling up front.

The "hapless" Sterling?????..two goals to get us to the top of the CL group is not hapless in my book...he needs to take people on a bit more though. In my opinion he is a very very good player and will only get better and will be very important to our future success !

[carl_feedthegoat]

Call me negative but that line up makes me nauseous.

Aguero should be in now hes had a run out last week..........Mangala should be in his house watching this match on TV......Yaya has just given us no midfield whatsoever.

[nottsblue]

Can we buy Arnautovic , ffs hes really good

Hes better then Bony and i would like to have that player in squad more hen numbe of others

[sheblue]

cant figure out what MP does sometimes, aguero and vinny should be starters.

[Saul Goodman]

Shouldve started Navas over Kevin

I hope you are right but did you see the first 80 mins of the game v BM. I thought we were brilliant that night but Stetling was awful. He won us the game n the end but if he does nt score we only have 10 men.

You're a bit negative, carl.

We should have more than enough out there, Sunderland have looked like a sack of shit this season.

COME ON CITY!!!

[bigblue]

good play by Bony so far, his ability to keep the ball and build up play is very underrated

[phips]

thats what happens when you always go down so easily Raheem

fuck off phips and fuck off ref

shafted by the officials again - if he was in a dipper kit it would be a penalty everytime

[Cocacolajojo1]

When did the referees have a meeting about Raheem?

[Tokyo Blue]

That was a penalty. He took him out with his arm and his foot. Cheating fucking munich bastard, taylor. That one should be publicly ridiculed just like the Aguero one last season.

It must be disheartening for the players when they see shit like this happening to them week after week after week.

when he went form red to blue
