SUBS | Bravo, Delph, Iheanacho, A Garcia, Kolarov, Nolito, Navas. #whuvcity #mcfc

Wow. Kolarov starting and on the bench! Assume your first post meant Stones starting as Jamiemcfc post his picture in starting XI?

[Dubciteh]

Disappointed zabba in midfield. Surely if garcia is good enough.....

Agreed he may aswell leave at this rate if he cant get a chhance now.

Did very well in all the games hes started for us and starred at youth level what more does he have to do? Very dissapointing. One of my biggest criticisms of pellegrini and pep now the same.

[john@staustell]

Both strong teams

If I was Garcia I'd be talking with my agent. Guardiola obviously doesn't rate him.

Ha ha, that was lifted directly from official tweet too...

I imagine it will be a pretty strong side. Pep is no fool and he will no doubt be aware his predecessor won three pots in three years. He will want to win a pot as well, if not two and a cup is a decent chance of it.

He takes the main cup competitions seriously, so I'm expecting a strong line-up tonight. I must say, I can't really be arsed with this competition after the BBC stitch-up of Pellegrini last season.

As suspected.

No Payet is a bonus. And Adrian isn't very good either. Wasn't he the keeper we smashed in the League cup semi a couple of years back?

They hold Payet in reserve, we hold Navas in reserve...

I believe so, although iirc he started that season on a blinder then turned to shit

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Is this Delph bloke on the bench the Brazilian fella?

They've just updated and you will pleased to know Stones is starting.....

Oh and we're playing in our home kit

[Douglas Higginbottom]

so is it 3 at the back or will Zaba play midfield like he did in that great success at Leicester or.... Who cares cos if we play well with the ball we will win.

Aside from Xmas fixtures, when was the last time we played on a Friday?

Remember a game from Division 2 in '84 against Chelsea which I think we lost 2-1 being on a Friday night. Can't be many others I'd have thought

If I was Garcia I'd be talking with my agent. Guardiola obviously doesn't rate him.

I mean, are we really surprised anymore? What manager at what TOP club is playing players that came through their academy? (Is it only Barca?)

It's a bad show. Perfect opportunity for him. Disappointing.

COME ON CITY

but I don't know, would it be better to have a couple of free weekends and let Chelsea pool and arse to play a couple more games
