The final match of Gameweek 1 see Man City play host to Swansea. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for business as usual, so come in, take a seat and let’s see if we Roberto Mancini’s side can be the only team to win at home in the opening set of matches…

Edin Dzeko starts up front for City, with Mario Balotelli dropping to the bench as Adam Johnson takes his place in the first XI. And no, Aleksander Kolarov doesn’t start.

Man City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Toure Yaya, De Jong, Barry, Silva, Dzeko, Johnson. Subs: Taylor, Zabaleta, Milner, Kolarov, Savic, Aguero, Balotelli.
Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Tate, Britton, Dobbie, Agustien, Dyer, Graham, Sinclair. Subs: Moreira, Orlandi, Routledge, Lita, Moore, Allen, Gower.
Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral)

Funny to see the City knee-jerk here. Swansea were dreadful away from home last season, I doubt City will have an easier match all season and wouldnt read too much into tonight's game.
..Though obviously Aguero did look very sharp

  It's knee-jerk tastic. Three out of their next four away. I'll be using my wild card to bring in Richards instead of Kompany. Not sure about the rest for now.

        True, I'll cross that bridge when I get there. It'll be tough for Mancini to displace him if he keeps up his form.
        
        Richards' place could be at risk too, especially once the champion's league starts up.

I didn't watch the match, but can see Aguero tore it up. Yes, he tore it up in 30 minutes of time or so...DO we know that he's going to start next GW? He looks good, but someone with more playing time, and more favorable fixtures should be considered...right?

Just One More Thing
14 years, 4 months ago
Somebody has twittered into BBC Sport -"Tevez & Aguero could easily win the league for Man City."

Hang on - City took long enough to get the first goal, which came at the time when the Swans were physically and mentally knackered; and the goal knocked their confidence 100%.

Slightly premature reaction me thinks.
