Manchester City

[mrbojangles]

Yeah bit of a clash on Zabba's knee that.

Nice spread of goals tonight. Nacho got a great assist and a very well taken goal.

[JacknDanny]

Nacho had a great game. The more I see him, the more he reminds me of Sturridge.

2 great assists and a nicely taken goal.

[Bredbury Blue]

Team tonight (speculating):

Caballero

Zabaleta, Mangala, Demichelis, Kolarov

Navas, Fernando, Toure, Sterling

Bony, Iheanacho.

Fernandinho being banned means we're a bit short of choices central midfield so maybe Demichelis in midfield and Kompany in back 4.

Think the televised game tonight is Liverpool - can anyone confirm? Probably nothing being shown here in Thailand though.

The Capital One Cup fixture between City and Palace will not be telecast in the UK. The match will be broadcast live on BBC Radio Manchester.

I would agree with the back 4.

No way does Yaya start. I would be amazed. And I think Bony on the bench.

Maybe Barker and Garcia or Roberts will get some game time. Rest Sterling..

Team:

Caballero,

Zabaleta, Demichelis, Mangala, Kolarov,

Toure, Fernando, Navas, De Bruyne,

Bony, Iheanacho

Didn't see he'd start KdB again (and not Sterling). That was a strong lineup; takes this tournament seriously does our Pelle.

Couldn't see it so waiting for the City website to put up the highlights. So score apart, how did we play as a team, who performed and who didn't?

[JacknDanny]

Soid throughout I would say.

Bony didnt do much. Nacho had a far better and effective game. Caballero still looks dodgy and doesnt have a presence in the box like Joe does.

Thought Nando played well.

[jellydog]

Nice to wake up and see a 5-1 rout with some youngsters involved. A pity about Zabs. I read that Caballero stunk it up again. I hope Pellegrini and company have their eyes out for another keeper. If Hart were to go down we'd be in a pickle.

...let's hope we get no more injuries, especially central midfield, fullbacks or centre forward.

[Bredbury Blue]

[mrbojangles]

I'd be ok with resting KdB for this game but not sure if Nacho is up for being a lone striker just yet.

[mrbojangles]

[JacknDanny]

Dire so far!!

Come on City... Where are you?

Lets be avin you!!

[mrbojangles]

Not even got out of second gear yet.

Bony is wasting clear cut chances. He's not a good fit for this City side.

[smokie36]

You're crap...ya need to clone Silva.

Otamendi digging the strikers out of a hole

[Bredbury Blue]

2nd week on the run of bloody rainstorm and I've lost the tv signals. If it was frustrating watching it , it's even more so clicking BBC updates every minute! Damn!

[mrbojangles]

Bit harsh old bean. Not at our best for sure. Just no urgency

Buy Messi...what's wrong with ya?

You could build a climate bubble around his gaff for 20m easy.

[mrbojangles]

Unbelievable

[mrbojangles]

Thank you Yaya.

Bizarre last few minutes from the goalies

Patience my man. He's coming

[mrbojangles]

You idiot Kolarov. I had City down for 3-1 and you grabbing the ball off Sterling for the pen just stuffed me.

City were frustrating. Satellite signal frustrating. ..keeps coming and going after few seconds. Frustrating. However we won. Utd didn't. Otamendi was excellent. Norwich (till the 70th minute I lost the signal) were excellent. ..game plan done well.

Can't see Chelsea catching 14 points up on City and/or Arsenal, can you?

Don't be late home jinglejangles. .

I had it 2-0 and Joe howled me. Redeemed himself later though with a really tough save.

What a bullet header from Otamendi. For me the MOTM even without the header.

Looks like challenge of mopping up Kolorov's defending improves Otamendi; keep him left side. Been excellent last few games.

From what I saw today Jose wasn't joking when he said they won't make top 4 and United hot and cold but generally rubbish.

It's a 2 horse title race with a City and Arsenal, the rest is anyone's guess.

[SantiSuk]

Looong way to go yet. Chelsea will not haul back 14 points, but too early to call a 2 horse title race. Arsenal are still one injury away from a mini slump (Coquelin or Giroud)
