COME ON CITY

[Saul Goodman]

Can the back 5 deal with the headers from Antonio and Carroll? Maybe thats why Pep opted for Willy--Bravo is so short

[HailNerdQueen]

I hadn't seen the line up yet but a part of me just knew, when I saw the official match thread already had three pages to it, that Bravo wasn't playing! Thank fuck, here's hoping Willy holds up fine. Loving that front line too, just bought Jesus for my fantasy team!

[iwasthere2012]

I really like this line up, but I'm dreading a Caballero clanger or two. It's inevitable. We're City after all.

Know what you mean.
I really hope he proves himself tonight.
Also hope he has little to do, but convinces Pep he should keep his place.

[Slim]

Willy fucks up and it'll be all the justification Pep needs to bring Bravo back for the rest of the season.

[Beefymcfc]

That it some attacking line-up. Can't fucking wait!

[iwasthere2012]

That is a very ballsy line up. Would have preferred Kompany to assure that defence.

That has to be the best 18 in the league.

You can see BT are sizing this up to be;

Pep. Genius or Joker.

Really hope the lineup does him proud.

[Lee_R]

Any engish joans?

*sorted. trust bloodzeed!

Pep probably opted for Willy because he must think he's better than Bravo with the ball at his feet...............

Seriously though, we need to nullify West Ham's two aerial donkeys by dominating possession and, if we can, starve them of any service. If we do that whilst, at the same time, run riot up front, Carroll and Antonio will be no more than spectators.

Bravo must have been shit in training as well , for Pep to drop him.

HAPPY.

[South Stand Balti]

That's a proper brave lineup. No defensive midfield for a team that conceded 4 at Everton recently and Leicester. Very attacking and will be relying on us to keep possession. If this works it could be very impressive. I'm equally surprised and delighted that Willy is in.

[nottsblue]

Got the be the most attacking front five in the PL.

Imagine Fonte is shitting bricks facing that on his debut

[ENIAM NAM]

Fucking Hoddle again....

[Slim]

My name is Gabriel Fernando de Jesus, you are the man who killed my father, prepare to die.

[Mikhail Chigorin]

Fucking Hoddle again....

What's the tactical genius saying this time chum ??

[dave watson's perm]

Ratboy2 on my joan

[ENIAM NAM]

Just talking about how good our players are but with full expectation that he will start slagging us off as soon as we aren't 2 up after 20 mins.

We will need to be patient as usual with the home team putting 11 men behind the ball.

[mr_nool]

Fucking Kolarov.

And Sterling.

Thanks chum.

We'll just have to make sure he's not disappointed, by scoring a bag full tonight.
