Will be tedious if we score 3 goals in another game this season, dread it if we score 4 against them like we did last season
Its not Sterling we need to worry about, its De Bruyne! I think he's had a goal or an assit in every game he's started so far!Darmian will need to win his contest against Sterling. Or else we're in big trouble.
Kolarov is a bit of a boost for them then. I see a lot of people who don't rate him, but he's their best player in that position so they'd be obviously weaker without him.Kolarov is back, I expect you'll see City in a 4-2-3-1:
Hart; Kolarov, Mangala, Kompany, Zabaleta; Toure, Fernandinho; Sterling, De Bruyne, Navas; Bony.
Yes they have more pace than us, and without Shaw we'll struggle. I'd consider a draw a good result.I just have a bad feeling about this. I think City will be explosive from the start and we won't be able to cope with that. I can see them taking an early 2-0 lead and we won;t recover from that.
I agree but LVG will start himMemphis getting benched means Rooney starts upfront and that scares me more than Memphis starting.
I think van Gaal will pick this.------------------DDG
Valencia - Smalling - Jones - Darmian
----------Schneiderman - BFS
---------Mata - Hererra - Martial
-----------------Roooney
I'd like to see personally
Navas & Sterling on the wing (potentially) is a lot of pace for Blind to handle especially on the counter.
The rest of the team should remain unchanged from Everton.
They were outplayed by Sevilla too. Couldn't believe they won that game in the end.People got way carried away by their win at Bournemouth, City are a great bunch of players, better than ours at the moment, but I think they crumble. Their wins against against M'bach and Sevilla showed they have great weaknesses. Especially in Germany was crazy they got away with the W.
My mistake.Isn't the same as last year. We lost at their place, but won at ours. This is at ours.
That's the fun of it. Good luck trying to read Van Gaal's thoughts lol.Dropped from 3 to 16 in the line up prediction league in less than a month.

Was at the Bournemouth and Sevilla games and let me tell you that those in the stadium are in no doubt that the results were flattering to City. There was some lovely passages of play but too often there were big gaps in midfield that a bus could comfortably be driven through and some of our fullback play has been mediocre.People got way carried away by their win at Bournemouth, City are a great bunch of players, better than ours at the moment, but I think they crumble.

hope not, then again. Carrick-BFS-Rooney aint Carrick-BFS-Herrera. Plus Yaya-Fernandinho-De Bruyne ain't Ramsey-Walcott-Sanchez in terms of tempo. So I believe Carrick BFS wouldn't be overrun like against Arsenal(no chance actually), but I'd MUCH rather Morgan-BFS-Herrera plays.I have this sinking feeling he's going to start Basti and Carrick.
oh LvG.....I have this sinking feeling he's going to start Basti and Carrick.
dont have an issue with carrick starting but if it keeps out schneiderlin, then no pleaseLooks like Carrick is going to start which I dont like. He has been subbed in the last two games.
Carrick's injury at the back end of last season had us all in fits of despair, now all of a sudden he's the weak link, we are spoilt in midfield nowadays.Looks like Carrick is going to start which I dont like. He has been subbed in the last two games.
Obviously. Him and Scheiderlin are similar players and shouldnt start especially against a team like City. Bastian gets us playing better alongside Morgan.Carrick's injury at the back end of last season had us all in fits of despair, now all of a sudden he's the weak link, we are spoilt in midfield nowadays.
Carrick - Schniederlin to start, and Schweinstegier - Schneiderlin to finish will do nicely for me.
Would hate to see that little Call you next Tuesday Sterling score a fluky goal on us.Their two beat players are out. Without Silva they have far less creativity. De Bruyne and Sterling are capable but nowhere near that level. Without Aguero who is going to finish their chances?
At times this season they have been dire and Silva/Aguero have torn teams apart on their own. This is the weakest City team we will have played in years.
