IT’S BACK ON! Manchester City v West Ham Utd (19th February) - Match Thread

Yeoldhammer

If Bowen makes the pitch...by all accounts sounds like Moyes isn't going to start him. Hopefully he gets at least 20 minutes.

Expat_Hammer

Either a sneaky away win or a massacre for the hosts

Please let it be the first

:pray:

Lukerz

Such a negative starting 11

EXETERHAMMER

Keeping them to just 2 goals would be decent. Especially if we sneak 3 :scarf:

steve

Just hope we play with some of the heart Norwich showed against Liverpool :pray:

Official:

Fabianski

Bowen and Haller both on the bench whats that 65 mil :puzzled:

jay_in_cpt

No Fornals in 18, not sure how well that'll go down. matter of restricting them and saving some kinda face IMO, as always tho COYI

EXETERHAMMER

Moyes clearly doesn't rate Fornals. Bowen should be starting

Yeoldhammer

Bet365 has
City 1-0 14/1
City 5-0 12/1

Lol

steve

That's not our best team ,Cant believe we are not at lest going to give this our best shot,So what Bowen or Haller gets the last 20 mins when we are 3 or 4 down

Pengeman

Would have liked to have seen Fornals on the bench instead of Lanzini. Can't recall him having any good game. Unless Fornals is injured.

Colchester_Iron

The combined value (money paid) of players on the bench is more than the combined value of the players starting...?

jay_in_cpt

Perhaps it's a Moyes masterclass, saving them for our next game....Liverpool

Lukerz

Basically gonna be hold out for half hour then lose 3-0

Moyes then lobs the strikers on in the final 15 for a consolation

Cuz1

Fornals as got to be injured surely I know this is a game we are not expected to win but imo moyes should have picked a team given us our best chance the premier league is our bread and butter not a time to save our players he as once again bewildered me with that selection

and it ends up 5-0....

whupathman

So unimpressed with that line up , Moyes showing how winning is what he does by playing no strikers

steve

Nice to see we still have faith in Haller and are playing to his strength for once …………….. :doh: or not

Exactly my thoughts when I saw that side.

OldCastleSwift

Rather underwhelmed with that eleven. Looks like damage limitation with the hope of Antonio nicking something on the break.

steve

Why do I seem to look forward to West ham games then when the team sheet comes out I just want to run and hide...……. :sofa:

In the 90th minute

jay_in_cpt

Last 7 games v City, Zero points , 3 goals scored, 23 conceded ... :beer:

At least I have Ginge ( Collins ) in the studio with Michael Owen...

OldCastleSwift

So City have lost two in a row without scoring.

Enter West Ham.
