    Some people here saying they're not sure about captaining a Man City player because Brighton will park the bus.

    I hope you guys are remembering that last season, with the exception of 1 or 2 teams, City achieved what they did essentially against a whole league of bus parkers! 😆

      I would say the reason for not being sure of captaining a City player is more down to risks of rotation/limited minutes, and other teams with plum fixtures, more so that bus parkers - I agree, everyone tried to stop City attack last year, and I think it was only Palace, and ....Huddersfield?? that stopped them?

        That's an understandable reason however I'm specifically talking about those who are mentioning a potential Brighton bus as some kind of deterrent.

        In saying that I think Aguero, Sterling, and D.Silva will start. I think the only one who could miss out is B.Silva if Pep wants to reward Foden with a league start, but that's just based on my own hunch.

          I don't dare to even try and predict who starts for City anymore!

          But yes, your point is valid, City play like every Pep team has played for the last 10 years, if people think that all of a sudden the Warnocks and Hughtons of the league have figured out how to stop it, they're wrong.

            You nailed it.

            The odd surprise result against City will likely be down to an off day (or unlucky day) for City rather than an outstanding performance from a bus parking opposition. 😉

      Huddersfield parked the bus a few weeks ago and Kun claimed and assist and a hat trick. They can go park all they want.

        Exactly!

        Wanting to park a bus and actually having the personnel and/or coaching to pull it off are two very different things.

        Hughes maybe 75%? Janmaat is out for 5-6 weeks, so Kiko is the likely replacement. Delofail has been injured since the start of the season - made of glass - think he will be eased back very gently. Agree that Chalobah is his main competition, allthough he could also replace Pereyra.
