***Official Yellow Sub vs City Match Thread***

One (or 2) of Silva, Yaya, Lescott, and Aguero will be rested.

No way he was ever going to rest Yaya for a big game. Has never happened, never will

I'm liking the lineup, Savic should be fine. 3-0 with Balo, Milner, and Yaya getting the goals

Btw, has Yaya scored for us this season yet? No, right?

Not yet, saving himself for the Allianz Arena.

Good to see him blood Savich, betting it is to prepare him for sat!

Sounds painful. Some sort of pre-match ritual?

I think should it come to pass that Lescott/Toure will look a lot better than Toure/Kompany, not that it could have looked worse really.

So he's not going to score until at least the Champions League QF?

Well thank god we made it that far, nice one.

Glad to see Kompany/Savic as our cb's tonight. Firmly believe this partnership is the future.

This comment it must be said is in no way a snipe at Lescott, he has been immense this season.

If this was twatter, I'd be #worried.

no aguero....savic in?

[Biamp]

Interesting selection, maybe Lescott is injured or something. I don't get why Dzeko and Aguero on the bench they have been in a better form than Mario.

Toure doesn't make the bench!! That's another interesting decision.

[stefano]

no-nonsense by mancini. nonsense would have been play lescott against a team who play without strikers

if that's the case then he should have started with Kolarov.

[Nigels Tackle]

most expensive set of subs ever?

[bobby brows]

What the fuck is Roy keane doing there?

[bigblue]

What the fuck is Roy keane doing there?

to be fair, he was set up to slag off Mario and didn't. Him, O'Niell, and Southgate are doing a better job that most of the talking heads so far

I would venture to guess that Mancini doesnt want to risk Lescott getting injured today because Vinnie is suspended
for QPR and if Lescott gets injured before then then our center halves will be Savic and K. Toure..not something Mancini wants.

I don't get why Dzeko and Aguero on the bench they have been in a better form than Mario.

Mario has scored 6 in 6 and that wouldve been 6 in 5 but he came on for 20 min in the last game. He's in better form as of late.
As Villareal are badly badly depleted by injuries Mancini wants to rest Dzeko and Aguero while also rewarding Balo's form
and recent proper attitude by giving him his first CL appearance (and start) of the season.

I like this lineup alot.
