***OFFICIAL CITY vs STOKE MATCH THREAD***

[Slim]

In the absence it seems of NigelsTackle to do it, I have decided to go cap crazy, fuck him.

[Burt]

Yeah and fuck Leslie too!!!

[Lee_R]

Tough game and a must win! Glad Chelsea play before us.. extra motivation. I reckon starting with Dzeko would be wise.

Zabaleta-Kompany-Lescott-Kolarov

We don't play again until next Sunday, so plenty of recovery time.

Good side out today. Would have preferred Jojo playing in Aguero's role but still strong

[Tony P]

Why no JoJo to start?

[AG7]

I think he has gone back to the team that put together that long winning run in the absence of Aguero ...

[AG7]

... and it's an audition for Negredo and Dzeko to decide which one of them will start up front with Jovetic in the Final against Subderland (while JoJo will be subbed for Aguero there).

Demichelis again.

I really fear this blind spot Pellegrini has could cost us the league.

[South Stand Balti]

Demichelis again. I really fear this blind spot Pellegrini has could cost us the league.

Yep. I also think tactically it is am ideal game for Joleon given their style of football. I think daft Martin should be encouraged today tho. I don't think the grief he gets helps at all. I will be shouting him on and hope everyone else does.

As he PM'd me, if we lose it's on your head ;-)

[Bridge'srightfoot]

Would rather have seen Jojo and Dzeko up top who linked up very well against Chelsea.

I am happy with these two up front, both need to get back in form ...

Means we have to worry about Demichelis in the cup final next week, and that whoever partners Kompany against Barca is unlikely to get any match practice before that game.

Pellegrini has been wrong on this all season and it's very concerning he doesn't appear to see the problems.

[Florida Blue]

Why is Demichaos even allowed to put on a kit today? I wish they would have suspended him for league matches too!
