would be nice for sunderland to keep Citys run of no clean sheets going.

Can see this being like 4-0 now.

I would assume he is still injured. Thats why he wasn't in the squad in the champions league midweek.

So basically the one change is lamps back in for rambo. Happy its still mata oscar and hazard. Should be good. Many will not like lampard and mikel back in the double pivot but we will see.

Oh dear, and i think its all over.

Good save...

Probably but if you get it from official twitter accounts then its not too bad.

Come on sunderland.

Not yet, i would expect they will come out soon though. Trust me as soon as they are there will be loads of people posting them.

Don't see any reason to change the team we played vs arsenal. Its not as big of a game though when it comes down to it 3 points is 3 points whoever you play against. I can never be annoyed if RDM chooses to start super frankie, as he has done so much, however if that means Ramires going back to RW then it will seem like a step back. Oscar hazard and mata should all start imo as they are all playing well and the more time they play together the better they should get. I am thinking we may see a big performance from Hazard, to re-confirm his ability (Not that it needs re-confirming to us).

Hopefully not, though you are probably right as Mancini has been switching between 3 and 4 at the back and will eventually sort it out. Hopefully their lack of clean sheets can continue and sunderland can score here, though by the looks of things they will probably need to score more than 1 to get anything out of this game, but steven Fletcher has looked dangerous this season.

Damn, 1-0.

TV/Online/ occasionally Live. Would like to go more, but it can get quite expensive. I never really go to a bar because ar home i am free to shout what i want wheras i feel i have to be more polite in public lol.

Just got back from work, and now its a football triple header. Come on Sunderland.

THANKS GUYS, it means a lot. I am extremely sorry i haven't been able to say thank you sooner as i had various things causing me to be absent such as my sisters graduation etc. But i am back now and thanks a lot, especially as i haven't been on this site too long and you all made me feel so welcome. I am sorry to all the other deserved nominees who didn't win it but they are all great members and i am sure will be the MOTM very shortly.

Looking forward to this one (but i say that every game lol), hope we set out the same as what we did against arsenal then i think we will have too much for them. Oscar hazard and mata are improving as a threesome and i want to keep seeing them play together to get even better. Rambo and Mikel are the logical choice for the centre as we have all seen the difference in rambo after he has moved back to a suitable position for him. it won't be that easy so 2-0 would be my prediction but we should be getting our 3 points here with a bit to spare.

It's off topic, but I love your new SIG btw..

1. Agree on the lineup being arsenal being the best one i think atm. Gets the best out of Rambo and our 3 AM's work great together in there. 2. Premier league has to be top priority this year atm. That is our bread and butter, and we need to be solid in the league. If we get into the later stages of the champions league then that would take a bit more focus but for now Premier league has to be the priority after the start we have had. 3. Would like to see another Striker, doesn't have to be a high profile (Falcao), but another one to give us some options as you see the problem we have now. Studge is injured, so torres is our only real option. Would also like to see Sturridge introduced when he gets a chance. 4. Very happy with our signings especially the big 2 in oscar and hazard who have both looked impressive.Also Lukaku getting game time and scoring for west brom is good to see. We haven't lost any players that are key for this season i don't think. 5. Premier league definately top 3. Semi's in the champions league. Semi's/finals in league cup and Fa cup. 6. Marin will have a similar role to moses i think in being an impact sub, who can add some fresh legs and pace as well as more width when needed as that is the one thing we do at times lack in our 4-2-3-1 with Oscar, mata and Hazard being the 3. Danny could have a big role, as if torres is not firing he is currently our only option as a replacement. Main thoughts are that: We can create a lot of chances this season and if we can convert them then we will be a huge threat to the manchster clubs this season. Also our defence looks a lot more solid than it has done last season which is a good sign especially when considering the likes of united and city who havent had strong looking defences; with city not keeping a clean sheet yet this season as far as i am aware.

All we can ask is he gives 100% like every other player on the team. If he does that and he is not good enough then the management will replace him. He is getting chances a lot of that is helped by the 3 behind him, adn he needs to start taking them. The only thing i don't like to see is the storming down the tunnel when he got subbed off a little while back. I think his movement has on the most part been ok, its just he gets in these positins and either makes the wrong decisons or misses. I think its easier when torres doens't have to think about it as much. I.E. get ball shoot! as opposed to see 2 defenders in front of you and try to run at them then stop, shall i shoot cut back, pass back, cross it in etc. He should try and keep things more simple. An example of that is his goal vs newcastle, pass to hazard, good bit of skill by him, run on to it and shoot, no running one on one with the keeper, then cutting inside a defender, then fainting back the other way etc. Hopefully that will come but right now he shouldn't be trying to do too much imo. Of coure thats easy to say, and not so easy to implement in a full game scenario, but its a thought.

Thanks Guys, i appreciate the mention...

Very True, big thing that we have confirmed is that Man citys defence looks really shaky, and when they are up against teams who have a good defence they will start to have big problems. Still no clean sheet for city, expect to see lots of highscoring games at Man city all season long.

Very bad decision. City very lucky. Real Madrid and BVB to go through.

i would have loved the keeper to save that.

That seems a bit harsh, he is 1 foot away.
