Next: The Rags

Passion required for this one and that to me means Zabba & Kolarov either side at the back, which in turn means Navas up the right. Sagna has done nothing wrong nor Clichy.

I just think Zabba & Kolarov will show passion especially as we won't have Kaptain K on the pitch.

Pace needed at the back against their whippersnappers so I'm praying it's Clichy and Sagna ( not that Sagna's quick mind but he's quicker than Zabs )

I'd also play Dinho on the right again like we did in Kiev and at Wembley.

They might be shite but pacey shite, Martial has to be taken care of.

'Scuttery' is the word you are looking for.

[ColinBell8]

Hate everything about the vermin, obviously. I wish anything to do with any of them nothing but pain & pestilence.

Hopefully this is just the kind of game we need to focus the minds & we'll click with everything we try coming off more often than not, just like it used to.

Anybody going to the match enjoy, stay safe or don't get caught.

[Dimples]

Will be very surprised it it is not Sagna and Clichy (I really hope it is).

Sagna was rested midweek - so he will be in ahead of Zabs.
Clichy is getting the nod ahead of Kolarov every game.

I expect to see a 4-2-3-1 i.e. no Bony
so will he go for Fernandinho + YaYa - Navas + Silva + Sterling - Aguero
or
Fernandinho+Fernando - Navas + YaYa + Silva - Aguero

My preference would be Fernandinho+Fernando - Sterling + YaYa + Silva - Aguero

I'd go for that but switch Silva for Navas.

They're pretty bad in defense, but even worse when players are running at them with space behind. Let them pass the ball around the halfway line all they want, then spring forward with Raheem, Navas, Yaya, Aguero (and Dinho following up behind).

[Hazy2]

will we disinfect the Etihad after the scum visit, like they did in Cumbria after Mad cows.

Pellegrini has not got a scooby fucking doo how to set our team up against a fast tempo opposition....he has shown us time and time and time again just how fucking clueless he is against this tactic.
The munchens will come out alls guns ablazing....and we will be like rabbits in a torch light unless we actually have a plan to counter this tactic.

If we lose fire his arse back to Chile ! Which is the opposite of firing Chile from yer arse.

You are forgetting one thing Carl, the Müncheners can't keep the ball. I think together with Scouse 2 last night they were able to put six passes together between them before the ball went out for a throw or a foul.

[Beefymcfc]

Can't fucking wait! Regardless of what are injuries woes, what Pellers tactics are, or even what beer I drink, I want these cunts smashed.

If you can't look forward to a Derby, you shouldn't be watching Man City.

you have to admit beefy , since they have lost ground , it's not as meaningful as our derby matches against Everton !

Only one Derby mate, and these cunts are all we've got.

The reason being, the bindippers matched the same intensity.....hence why the Munchenhausens not coping too well.

We need to match whatever fuckign intensity these cunts dish up....then we will win as we have better players.

[Beefymcfc]

Even on an off day we should be matching these cunts. Intensity my Arse, that was just a one off trying to counter the Dippers. Usually they play like us on a shit day, slow and possession based, just not as good.

Their defence is shit, only saved when playing 2 holding midfielder and De Gea still has to save their bascon.

Their attach has youth but like a chicken with no head, has no real direction. A few goals by RasherChops has him now lined up for England, as was Jizzjaz et al, but all fall by the wayside once the bubble bursts. Martial and Lingard have got talent but they have to do it all on their own, whilst Carrick, PigFucker or Snideylibg are still sat in their own half.

Saying that, if we can't get the players or crowd up for a game like this, do we really deserve to take the points?

One thing for sure, a game like this is not down to the manager. That is, unless he plays 11 Bonys.

[Hutch's Shoulder]

I think people are worrying too much about the rags so-called intensity. That was at home, in a match where they needed to score quickly and were fresh... this is away, where they will be happy with a point and knackered and disappointed from Thursday. Different game altogether.

[phips]

can't even imagine how shambolic it will be if Nico is out.
i know he's running and has a chance to make it but if he doesnt that back line will be ugly.

[Bear60]

Absolutely dreading Sunday to be honest . We are playing like a bunch of fannys , no desire no passion and don't look like scoring in a month of Sundays . Let's all hope the scumbag filth are as bad as we all believe they are , don't think I can take anymore of this seasons woes if we don't beat the horrible cunts ..........

Must win game no fucking excuses !!!!

So am I mate we know we are well capable of destroying them but with our performances of late I just cant see us doing it

[aaron bond]

Sagna has to play ahead of Zab. That should not be a difficult decision for Pellegrini.

Navas and Sterling on the wings, with Aguero up front and Yaya just behind. The 2 Ferns in centre mid.

Silva on the bench. He's been shite for a long time now and doesn't deserve to be in the starting 11.

You're right they are usually as slow as shit.

But the thought of Lionel rashford, Jesse Neymar and Luis Martial running at otter and mangala is a bit worrying considering our experience defending against pace.

Not expecting anything other than this one turning into a tedious nil-nil.
