  10. Just award the game to Manchester City by forfeit. Better a 3-0 than an actual match.

    Capoue and Watson against one of the best midfields the PL has seen

    Is Okaka injured? Not even on the bench.

    Lol Jesus Capoue.. he normally does better against better teams though right..?

    Okaka clearly off not in the squad at all. Absolute stubbornness by Silva, he better hope & pray Gino has something lined up..

    So much for a weakened City squad ey.. better than the team that played Palace!!!

    #watfordfc striker Okaka misses out this evening due to sickness. Silva on Cleverley: "Tom is not in the best condition to start the match so Capoue gets a chance.

    Silva's metamorphosis into Mazzarri is complete.

    If gray doesn’t work out we can bring Sinclair on!

    Just seen this tweet:

    Andre Gray is 300-1 to score a hattrick . Nicolas Otamendi is 350-1. yes.

    Looking at Cities line up, we are completely ****ed. Did they really need to play a full strength team against us of all teams :(

    Was feeling mildly optimistic for a decent performance, if not result tonight. Capoue playing has just made my mind up to watch Corrie, and Eastenders instead. Please dear god no

    I wouldn't take that for one goal, let alone three.

    Capoue as an attacking midfielder, you say?

    Never a better chance to give Richarlison a good rest with this game then FA cup on Saturday

    Anyone know what bookies are offering the most goals in handicap betting? Betvictor only doing city -3

    I was mildly optimistic (ie 0-3) until I saw the two sides. We are seriously ****ed

    Not sure what team people were expecting but if Cleverley and Okaka aren't 100% then that's the best starting XI we got, give or take one or two 50/50 choices.

    Have we gone with the Bristol City Line up by mistake?

    Is Silva resigning by picking the worst team he can possibly choose?

    I hope we get ******* mullered and Silva gets the boot straight after the game so someone else comes in and sports this mess out. That's a ******* joke of a line up

    I'm not saying I think Silva is a liar, but I think he is a liar

    Who has more chance with this being 4th game in 11 days? the injury ravaged, off form lower mid table side with no decent forwards? or the multi billionaires with £50m full backs and 2 quality players in each position, who have got about 2 injuries?

    ******* hell that's the strongest Man City team for a while.

    No kill like overkill, eh?

    Don't think it's Okaka's kind of game. Capoue seems to like playing "elite" sides. Would have put maybe Cholevas in Richarlison's role though but he probs is in direct competition with Marv. Capoue and Watson did alright to be fair, two years ago or so

    I can believe Cleverley being knackered, but Okaka is Silva being Silva.
     
  28. No Corrie. You can watch '50 Greatest TV Moments' instead - although even a pasting by Citeh would be preferable to Del Boy falling through bar/John Cleese hitting car/Den Watts Happy Christmas Darlin...

    Oh sh*t Capoue . I don’t think I can face watching this . I might just switch off when we go two nil down so I’ll probably watch the first 10 minutes

    Hopefully Silva has a good team talk. "Go out and enjoy it lads. Don't be scared. Express yourself". Something along that ilk.

    This might be a bold statement, but having seen the two sides, this is probably the biggest mismatch in Premier League history.

    I was half joking with 8-0, now I think I've been too optimistic.

    Janmaat against either Sterling or Sane is going to be horrendous. He's slow at the best of times but every game recently he's hit the wall at about 65-70 mins.

    I want Man City’s physio team. KDB gets stretched off 48 hours ago, yet is fit to start tonight. Kiko walked off down the tunnel during the Palace match, hasn’t been seen since!

    I’ve never dreaded a match as much as this. I’m praying this is not the biggest ever PL win
