Sooooo, Man City

[TheBunnyman]

Any team news yet?

The team will be exactly the one 99% of us wouldn't choose, Lucarse will be back. Eggnog on his own up front, and doubtless the hapless Maxi, too.

We'll get beat

I heard somewhere that Torres is going to be on the bench. If that's true, I would be surprised if Rafa is brave enough to take him off the bench. If he did come on, he probably wouldn't be that good as it will take him a few games to get his match fitness back.

In fairness, Torres has been in and out of the team all season but has still managed a fantastic goals/games ratio. Even when he's tired, unfit, and out of practice he's still more of a threat than anyone else we have.

While I know you're quick to tar a player you lose all confidence in, this one is rather odd. Here's a player who's barely played 3 games with us - not used to a league and was not in great form with Atleti either, and he's already hapless? I just hope he gets a thread apologizing like (ironically) Aurelio did.

----------------------------Reina----------------------

Carra-----------Agger----------------Skittles-----------Aurelio


----------------Gerrard--------------Masher---------------------

Kuyt----------------------Patches------------------------Babel

----------------------------Eggnog-------------------------------


If he had any bollocks, he'd play that team. It would win. He hasn't, so he'll play Lucarse and probably Insewer. And we won't win.

It would be very refreshing to see something like this from the start, but we know for sure it isn't going to happen.

I reckon Bunster's team

 

[robinhood]

Actually, he might go with Babel from the start. But that's usually a mistake

At the moment we are sadly lacking a player who can deliver that devastating final ball.

I thought everybody thought Gerrard was this player.

 

[SummerOnions]

What we're lacking is someone to give that ball to.

Gerrard makes the pass but everyone stays behind him so it comes to fuck all.
