*** West Brom v City - Official Match Thread ***

[DoomMerchant]

Surprising. Didnt think Bony's fat ass was in shape. Manuel already showing no faith in the kids

Who? Denayer and Lopes? You can't really expect he'd have benched Kompany for the first match of the season? Also, Navas puts his shift in and until we get Delph and Nasri back we're not exactly bursting at the seams with seasoned midfielders who've played a lot of first team footy. Which you need in this league to win anything. I promise.

cheers

CITY XI: Hart, Sagna, Kompany (C), Mangala, Kolarov, Toure, Fernandinho, Navas, Silva, Sterling, Bony

Did Clichy call in sick?

should be enough to beat just about anyone but i hope to fuck that Sterling is on the left and El Magico is in the middle. Please.

cheers

Clichy has been injured mate

Clichy, Delph and Fernando injured. Big game for Fern 1 as he has had no pre season games. Needs must etc.

He could join ISIS and still get selected.

how do you think CARL feels? He's so red his missus made him go get the aloe and put it on his head because she thought he was sunkissed.

also, spiders.

Hoping Fernandinho is fit enough for 90 mins, no options for him on the bench other than Martin and Denayer!

[Mase]

That's a fuckin shit team!! Navas? FFS!

[sheblue]

Bit disappointing.

are you joking or just fucking retarted... look at the bench

Needs must. Who else could he put? The injured Clichy and Fernando?

[blues2win]

I think he'll want to give Aguero and probably Zaba half an hour so as to improve their fitness before Sunday against Chelsea. 0-2 City.

[bigblue]

Bit disappointing.

bit disappointing reaction in here leading up to the 1st game of the season and Sterling's debut...

I think it's more of a gamble playing a not match fit Fernandinho than Zuculini. On the other hand, in all the games Zuculini did play in the pre-season there was him, Yaya + A.Nother (Delph, Fernando or Garcia). He probably would struggle having to cover for Yaya on his own.

COME ON CITY

The defence worries me immensely
