vs. August 19th Time: 3 p.m. EST, 20:00 BST TV: Sky Sports 1 (UK), NBC Sports Network (US) Club news: Remy is out injured. Haidara is out injured. Santon is out injured. But hey, Jonas is fit! What could possibly go wrong?
Or Santon might be healthy after all. Reported 18 making the trip: Krul, Elliot; Santon, MYM, Colo, Saylor, Debuchy; Obertan, Tiote, Cabaye, Sissoko, Anita, Gutierrez, Marveaux; Ben Arfa, Gouffran, Cisse, Shola.
I'm hoping to see 90 minutes of fit play for the lads. Too many years of too many injuries early in the season have made for slow starts for our boys. I would rather play the "real" Mancunians now and not those sheep shaggers in red on the other side of the city yet.
From the looks of that teamsheet things haven't changed since May... oh wait, my bad, we signed Loic Remy and scored off of a corner! Yeah thats right all will be well! Bonus: Citeh has new coach and few new players, they are they are furry foreign types so they will take time to bed into the Premier League. What can go wrong?
Best we can hope for is a draw, more likely we'll get bummed. A good start is vital, it's also unlikely.
Cabaye not in the 18. Neither is Santon but he's injured. Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Krul; Debuchy, Taylor, Coloccini (c), Yanga-Mbiwa; Tiote, Gutierrez; Ben Arfa, Sissoko, Gouffran; Cisse Subs: Elliot, Dummett, Anita, Marveaux, Obertan, the brothers Ameobi. Cricket score looks likely.
Would have rather anita or marveaux over jonas but oh well, he must still have those pics of CAshley and Pardon't in an intimate embrace.
******** Arsenal. We should bid on every one of their players Saturday. Or whenever. Maybe before their CL quali.
City XI to face Newcastle: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Navas, Fernandinho, Toure, Silva, Dzeko, Aguero. #MCFC— Get Football News (@GetFootballNews) August 19, 2013
UGH!!!!!!, he just got shoved off a ball he had control off for the 4th time and loses balls that are in his feet, sits offside. Cisse needs to GOOOOOO!
I'm going to have to wear a bag over my head for the 2nd half. And I'm the only one in my basement. #NUFC #AshleyOut— Jay! (@JayRockerz) August 19, 2013
No sense in halftime analysis. It all needs to be worked on. Is there anyone who seriously believes we can beat Hull or Palace? Thx, Jay!
If Cisse isn't the lone striker, yeah. The build up has been better today, not as much hoffball but taking Gouffran off instead of Cisse is another masterful Pardon't moment.
Really? We don't have the depth in our squad to overcome the Saylor ban, let alone the handballs he gives up in the box on an almost weekly basis. Who pulls the strings in the midfield? Caybaye's out and HBA isn't a 38 game a year player. Tiote's a ********ing joke who should have been the first player sold after the 5th place finish. Striker? We've got one. He's standing offside most of the time. This is the Premiership. The managers take one look at our teamsheet and manager and know he's just doing the same stuff that got him canned wherever else he's been. We're a ********ing sideshow. After last summer's transfer debacle, not spending a dime this summer before the season started will be the downfall. Thx, Jay!
