*** City Plays West Ham in the League Cup Match Thread ***

[blues2win]

No Micah or Milner which surprises me. If Jovetic and Rodwell aren't on the bench it'll do my head in.

[mr_nool]

Stronger Grantham what I would have thought. Would have liked to see at least one kid in the line up.

[mr_nool]

Oh, and boyata in the team is a wasted opportunity.

Lopes is starting.

Lopes is starting.

"Stronger team than what I would have thought" is what I meant to write. Also meant to write one MORE. KID. I know Lopes is in the team, But would have liked to see one more (who isn't Boyata).

Makes sense now.

He's still trying to figure out why his stupid fucking iPhone autocorrected "than" to "Grantham"....speccy cunt that he is.

cheers

I'm just glad Jovetic made the bench. Hopefully him and Rodwell don't get injured sitting down.

I don't own one single apple product. I'm way too cool for that.

But what the fuck is "Grantham"?

Unrelated, I checked the words I added to my phone's dictionary he other day. It was exclusively foul language and names of City players. Quite sad ...

[Saul Goodman]

Strong lineup. With Nasri out I would've liked to see Navas rested and Rodwell start but I guess he's not fit enough.

I'm guessing Aguero will get 60 ish and Jovetic will replace him and then get more minutes at the weekend

Good for Lopes. Hopefully he calms down after the first 15 or so and settles in

[nottsblue]

Fuckin hell. This could be 6 again. Very strong line up. Pellers likes to play his strongest in every game it seems. Would have liked to see bit more youth but maybe we'll see it off the bench second half.

Think the only player who slightly worries me is Boyata, the chap doesnt appear totally confident.

Has the bench been announced yet and does it contain the invisable man or has he a slight ear ache?

[Dubciteh]

Unless we throw a few kids in(which I would of done) I suppose this is best we could of done, all back five rested. Only naas,fern, negredo and an in need of matches aguro from our strongest team. I'd like to see navas and negredo rested early doors, same with fernandnho.

[nottsblue]

Hold the back page: Jovetic on bench. Fingers crossed he gets half an hour to replace Aguero

Probably best we bring him on at 88 minutes to give him a good run out!

[Blue2]

What hope have the kids got at City if only one of them gets a start in a game when we are 6-0 up? Think we have missed an opportunity here.

Jimmy Grantham, City fucking LB from the late 1890s. John's fave player of all time.

I posted the bench on the first page.

[bigblue]

Great line up!

Fuckin pummel them 10 on aggregate

COME ON CITY!!
