[xPetrCechx 13,563]

azpi as RW? WTF

[DanishBlue 426]

Yeeeees!!! So happy to see Christensen in the starting Lineup! I will definitely stay up now..

[Pizy 18,368]

Finally! A game in which Rafa trusts Mikel!

[Leif 6,006]

City going with a pretty much full-strength line up ffs.

[Hannah 200]

"City have Hart, Kompany, Zabaleta, Aguero, Silva, Clichy, Tevez and Yaya Toure all starting."

[DanishBlue 426]

Well, we have Mata, Cech, Cahill, Azpi, Cole, Ba and Ivano as normal starters so that's pretty fair. Do they play any youngsters though?

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

They Gonna Smash Us.... I'm Off...

[Pizy 18,368]

LOL just as I predicted.

City trying to impress clueless fans. They'll think "damn! The light blue team is amazing!"

[Hannah 200]

City's full line-up: Hart, Clichy, Rekik, Kompany, Zabaleta, Garcia, Silva, Y Toure Aguero, Tevez, Y Toure, Rusnak.

[DanishBlue 426]

Hopefully the clueless fans will somehow notice that we play a very poor side. If they don't, they know nothing about football and should stay away anyways.

Exactly. Their fanbase in the U.S. would be very weak in comparison to Chelsea, or so I would imagine.

A full strength line-up is only a ploy to attract fans.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Fucking stupid lineup, should have at least put Oscar, Ake (or even Lampard) and Moses instead of Loftus, Azi and Benayoun!

I feel sorry for the fans who payed premium to go to the game...
