Come on blue boys!

I'd give Nacho a start today, but I doubt he'll do that.

Not convinced by line up. Likely to get raped down the wings. No Fern1, not even on bench. Yaya and Fern2 have never worked together.

Hopefully Stoke are on holidays.

Hard a heart attack when I saw Toure, Fernando.... ah no not the Toure Two?!??!

THen I noticed Nacho. So must be playing 442 and am a bit (only a very tiny bit) relieved.

Honestly guys if you were Pellegrini and were being moved on in six weeks would you care about the premier league? That's someone else's problem.

When you had the chance of the holy grail (for Pelligrini) in the champions league it's only human that you concentrate all your efforts on that.

Surely?

To be honest champs league takes precedence over this so just hope they stay fit.

Me personally, I'd think that the owners had given me a great opportunity several years ago to finally win things before I retired, and I'd want to repay them by doing the best possible in all competitions. That's me though.

He won plenty before he came to Europe.

It's a shame that our focussing on the CL is so badly affecting our league form, I just wonder is it a club directive rather than solely Pellers' responsibility.

That's my take on it.

Excited to see Nacho out there and think our defense will look more solid without Komps.

Come On City!!!

No explanation for Kompany and Fernandinho not even in 18 as yet. Worrying. Pleased about Kelechi but it shouldn't be a classic 4-4-2.

to say that most of us are shocked that Nacho is starting is probably the understatement of the season

Wow.442.

Has Pellegrini gone into a coma overnight and its actually Brian Kidd in charge?
