***Burnley vs Man City Matchday Thread***

[Slim]

Seems someone has dropped the ball today(not mentioning names NT), so here is the game thread.

Lineup should be...

Hart
Zabaleta--Kompany--Mangala--Clichy
Navas--Yaya--Fernandinho--Silva
Aguero--Dzeko

However, I'd be inclined to give Bony a run and rest Dzeko, maybe switch Nasri and Silva at HT to keep them both fresh.

[Wonderwall]

Just read an article from Jamie Redknapp. He has turned into a proper bitter twat over the last 12 months.

He said it will be a huge embarrassment if we dont beat Burnley. What a disrespectful twat. Any team can beat any team in this division and he should shut the fuck up

[twosips]

He's kinda right. Cunt or not. I'll be well fucking miffed if we don't manage to.

[South Stand Balti]

I would just pick our best 11 today and worry about Barca after. I would go
Hart
Zaba kompany MDM Kolarov
Fern 1 Yaya
Navas silva Nasri
Aguero

Kolarov to give a bit of height and nasri to bounce back and show his quality.
As for Redknob, I have always thought he is a bitter bastard. Can't wait to have a dig or play down our achievements. His bias for the Dippers is embarrassing, which means he is one of those pundits who abuses his position .

Anything less and I will be furious with Pelle.

I agree in principle but I also can't claim to really know who our best xi are on the day.

I'd say he can craft a lineup out of any of 14 players and it should be the team that can win against nearly anyone. Therein lies the struggle. Who will show up to play their socks off today? The Count's dilemma.

Cheers

If we'd played these a few days after Leicester, I wouldn't have given us a hope, but they have had a week to stop sulking & get their shit together, plus are coming off a win, & having seen Chelsea look like they could lose any game on any day, between now & the finish.

Whatever 11 he puts out, if they don't run their bollocks off, they can fuck off.

Simply that^^^^^^^^^^

They ALL have the ability and quality, there is simply one thing missing

I demand a repeat of when we spanked them for six at their place 4 or 5 seasons back, nothing less

A non performance then we know the craic. No excuses just 100% and batter them.

Win lose or draw, it's the 100% I want to see. Mistakes happen, refs happen, bad luck happens, but running about or not, is their choice.

That should be there, whatever the future holds for the title, Pellegrini, anything. If these people want to play for City in the future, they should be fighting like fuck there today, not cruising & expecting to start again afresh next season.

with Dzeko, Aguero, and Bony all fit (as far as we know) i don't think theres any way Pellegrini doesn't play with 2 strikers in basically every match

[Fidel Castro]

Hart
Sagna-MDM-Mangala-Clichy
Navas-Yaya-Dinho-Nasri
Silva
Bony

[stevefromdonny]

COME ON CITY AND ENGLAND

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

One quivering bottom lip and I'll be fuming.

[Moonchesteri]

My prediction for our starting XI

Hart
Zabaleta - VK - Mangler - Kolarov
Navas - Yaya - octopus - Silva
Aguero - Boner

Personally I would not start these lads, plus I'd be happy with either Milner or Nasri instead of Navas

But soon we'll find out. COME ON CITY!!
