The Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Crystal Palace

Gameweek 17 begins on Manchester, as Manuel Pellegrini’s City unit gather themselves to face Crystal Palace at the Etihad.

The Chilean has his work cut out. With all three recognised strikers laid up, we’re expecting Pellegrini to roll out something that resembles “false nine” setup.

Neil Warnock and us Fantasy managers can only speculate on what form that will take, with the possibility that either Samir Nasri or David Silva will be the central fulcrum for City’s waves of attacks from midfield. Meanwhile, Palace’s free-styling wingers have a stage to make a name for themselves. It’s going to be interesting.

Following this, a batch of six afternoon kick-offs follow, with no evening match to see us out. Presumably Christmas shopping takes precedence. Bah humbug.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      These posts should be banned. Just because a player limps after being tackled doesn't mean you have to start crap on here.

      Is he coming off injured? I'm unable to watch the game so am unaware of the facts.

    Would have thought Nasri or Silva would be better as the false 9, with Navas also in the front three and two of Fernando/Fernando/Milner joining Yaya in the middle three. Meaning Yaya could push forward with freedom too

    Zabaleta lurks in the opposition box all the time, proper Ivanovic style. Think there is a high chance of a goal coming from him today or in the next few games.
