Technically not as he is off to AFCON!

Team vs. Everton

Hart, Zaba, Demichelis, Mangala, Clichy, Fernandinho, Fernando, Navas, Silva, Nasri, Jovetic

No Kompany or Aguero in the XI, probably best not to risk them against an Everton team having a fairly poor season so far.

Draw was probably a fair result in the end. Everton were really up for it.

Taken in isolation, that isn't too bad a point today. Goodison is one of our bogey grounds but, having taken the lead, it is disappointing not to see the game out. Bad mistake by Joe, it was a soft goal to concede. If the opposition nab a world class goal, then you have to hold your hands up and say "fair enough", but to gift them a goal is annoying. Anyway, it was good to see Kun get a few minutes of a run out; hopefully, he'll be back up to speed for the Chelsea game, which it looks like we might have to win (to put pressure on Jose's mob). I'd keep him on the bench for the Arsenal game next weekend.

I really hope Dortmund hang onto Reus until the summer so we can make a bid. He'd fit in the team perfect. Nasri is a great player but Reus can play through the centre as well as on either wing and is world class. He would be wasted at Madrid and Chelsea if Hazard is kept.

Sheepy99 · 10-01-2015 08:27PM

Did Aguero look anywhere near fit today or is he still a good bit away ?

Looked a bit rusty with his touch, only had one half chance. He was running around freely though.

I didnt think he wasnt far off but youd have to manage him just incase.

He'll be grand for our game as weve got 2 semi final games to play and city will be considerably more rested in comparison so he should be ok.

Swansea City have agreed a £28m fee to sell striker Wilfried Bony to Premier League champions Manchester City.

The two clubs hope to conclude the deal in the next 48 hours.
City expect personal terms and a medical to be hitch-free, despite Bony being on Africa Cup of Nations duty with Ivory Coast for at least the next three weeks.

The deal is £25m cash upfront with a further £3m in performance-related add-ons.

G'wan, Wilfie

Nastasic is gone to Schalke on loan for the rest of the season, hope he gets a better run over there.

Good luck to Nasty on his move to the Bundesliga. I hope it works out well for him. Just a pity he never pushed on from a promising start to his career with us.

How in the world did David Luiz make it ahead of Kompany. Especially after the world cup.

It's staggering. As long as I have a hole in my a***, Luiz will NEVER be a world class defender.

Looks like Swansea are getting their own back on us today for nabbing Bony!

the Tarquins tomorrow?

what do we think?

Two shaky defences; it'll be who's the less shaky on the day. I'm horribly biased, but I'll go for 3-1 to City.

That could be wrong though!

Darkglasses · 18-01-2015 12:20AM

Hope we just play one up front tomorrow, don't think Aguero and Jovetic together is a good partnership.

Missing Nasri and Yaya tomorrow

Anyone know bony has winfried on the jersey? He always had bony before. Or is it just for the publicity photo?

Sheepy99 · 18-01-2015 01:36AM

Lads Arsenal are the one team that ye always beat. 3-1 isn't biased. Anything less than that would be a good Arsenal performance.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a +4 margin of victory.

Last ten league games between the two teams.
2014/2015 Sat 13 Sep Arsenal 2 - 2 Man. City
2013/2014 Sat 29 Mar Arsenal 1 - 1 Man. City
Sat 14 Dec Man. City 6 - 3 Arsenal
2012/2013 Sun 13 Jan Arsenal 0 - 2 Man. City
Sun 23 Sep Man. City 1 - 1 Arsenal
2011/2012 Sun 08 Apr Arsenal 1 - 0 Man. City
Sun 18 Dec Man. City 1 - 0 Arsenal
2010/2011 Wed 05 Jan Arsenal 0 - 0 Man. City
Sun 24 Oct Man. City 0 - 3 Arsenal
2009/2010 Sat 24 Apr Arsenal 0 - 0 Man. City

So that's 3 Man City wins, 2 Arsenal wins and 5 draws. Man City always win between the two teams lol. :pac:

Does anyone know whens coverage on sky sports, I looked it up and it says half 3, 30 mins before kick off ?!?!
Only 30 minutes of coverage for this big match ?

Probably about right, that. They'll switch over to our game when the WHU/Hull game is finished. That kicks off at 13:30, so 90 minutes, plus 15 minutes HT, plus up to 7 or 8 minutes additional time over the two halves. It won't be far off half past three. That's what happens when you have double headers on sunday. Looking at it another way, the first game gets precious little post game guff.
