[john@staustell]

I'm always nervous of a non match-fit Kompany charging around like a mad bull

[ruralblue]

Shame Navas isn't bombing at them down the wing but if it means Yaya can be pushed further up I can live with it. Navas to come on when they have tired legs.

Come in Blues

[CTID Hants]

Rags line up...
#mufc XI: De Gea; Valencia, Jones, Smalling, Rojo; Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin, Herrera; Mata, Rooney, Martial.

Absolute quality enjoy ........https://twitter.com/paddypower/status/6 ... 7504351232

Full backs need cover. Martial will play on the left and has pace. Kolarov is Kolarov and needs protection. Sterling and de Bruyne have to defend down their flanks. Pleased about two Ferns and Yaya further forward. Would have played Navas and no Bony but there we are.

[Bleed_Blue]

Anyone know the bench yet?

City XI:
Hart,
Sagna, Kompany (C), Otamendi, Kolarov,
Fernando, Fernandinho,
Toure,
De Bruyne, Sterling
Bony

Subs: Caballero, Zabaleta, Demichelis, Mangala, Roberts, Navas, Iheanacho

[Bleed_Blue]

Is anyone surprised Otamendi is on instead of Mangala ?

[DoomMerchant]

100% mistake giving Smalling and Jones Bony to mark all day. Just made their jobs super fucking duper easy and we'll make them and Van Fuckface look like geniuses just because...well, i dunno. Just because i guess.

Really...Navas instead of Bony was the answer and it actually makes us stronger defensively on the wing as well. Gives those two fucking cunts no one to mark and let's KDB and Sterling run around and fuck these cunts up.

Huge mistake by the Count. Fucking garbage selection. I hope to fuck i'm 100% wrong and i look like a massive bellend because Bony scores one and makes one and we win 2-0 and I feel so fucking happy.

However, i'm pretty fucking sure i'm right. Fairly shit mood right now. I'm bricking it.

Come on City..you need to fuck these cunts up, pretty please with sugar on top.

cheers

Of course. It's a joke tbh. Mangala has been our "most likely defender to be part of a clean sheet" for basically the last 20 matches or more. Why we wouldn't play him is a goddam joke. Otamendi and Komps together are like the fucking last ditch saloon fuckface crew. Vinny's probably half fit.

Today has a 3-1 spanking written all over it and it's totally on the count if that happens. His selection is complete shithouse.

cheers

I am, would have gone with Mangala's pace personally, but must have been a close call! Overall fairly happy with the side! Feeling the nerves now, come on city!!!

[HBlock Cripple]

Astute observation, I hope you're wrong

[mr_nool]

I'd preferred Mangala to Otamendi.
Don't mind Bony up front, but would have preferred Navas being involved. I reckon we will change formation in the second half.

[ayrshireblue]

I know what Doomy means about Bony playing but if he can keep Smalling occupied it creates so much space for Sterling and de Bruyne to take the piss out of Jones. Can't explain Otamendi instead of Mangala. I know he's got his doubters but for me he is the form centre half in our squad.
