Chelsea played 1-1 at the bridge to valencia and not 2-2.
David Silva gave them the lead before drogba equalled the tie with a header over canizares.

Dayo it seems your head has gone into overdrive again this night, should we ignore Gabriel injury or what are you even thinking sef? Is Jesus a back up for Aguero or not? Because I don't understand in which planet a back up will have 18 league appearance while the main man will have 23, that's a difference of 5 apps and Gabriel was out injured for a while. I'm sure you re shaking your head yourself.

So who are Stones, Danilo, Mendy (we know this one is injured) who are they backing up, since they are bought as back up, tell us ye noble one who the starting eleven for City is.

I was thinking a regular is a player who actually played the game. So since Mendy has been injured we should also call him a regular. Should we also make Kompany to be a regular?

SO if they say the players who won the league for Pep you will put Mendy ahead of Delph because Mendy was injured

larride:


Dayo Dayo, the amala Turner, forget about Mendy because that's a mute case. injury has effectively ruled that one out.

So who are these guys that Stones and Danilo playing back up too?

airmark:


You echoing nonsense if you think the same juve that lost to galatasaray under conte was the same team that got to ucl final under allegri.



Answer the simple question, are they the same team? I will take it from there.

Nihilstjnr:


since Laporte was signed and Kompany regained fitness, how many league games has Stones played.

Even Danilo is dragging rotation left back spot with zinchenko.

do you watch city at all bro?

raumdeuter:


Danilo is a backup for Delph and Walker. Stones rotates with Kompany Mangala and lately Laporte

Nihilstjnr:

Mancity played 3 big games last week.
Carling Cup final, Arsenal away, and Chelsea.
Stones was fit and started none of them.
Answer your question by yourself.

chocberry:


Pardon me, i was chatting somewhere and told guys Pep has spent around 1 Billion pounds to put this team together. Am i right or wrong?

Leyqute:


Lord Pepdiola spent a little above 0.5bn quids.

Maybe you are the one that we need to ask if you watch City match or not. Are you saying that Stones was bought to be a back up player to Kompany or what exactly because Stones had 27 appearance in the league last season while Kompany has 11. This season Stones has 16 league appearance to Kompany 11 again. Who among them is the back up??

Laporte does not even feature here at all. he's inconsequential to their title run. When you lost players that played a part in this City title win this year, this are the names you mention:

Ederson
Otamendi
Walker
Stones
Danilo
Delph
KDB
Fernandinho
D. Silva
Aguero
G Jesus
Sane
Sterling

Each one of those I listed up there have more than 15 league appearance so you can't there contribution are insignificant. Do you object to any of these?

chocberry:


that's buying the competition


leciseter team that won the tournament wasnt worth a fraction of this sum

Leyqute:


I know two wordy old men who totally disagree with that.

larride:
Yet Danilo has more appearance than Delph and Stones has more appearance than Kompany, Mangala and Laporte.

I guess Mendy was also bought as back up for Delph.

There's nothing we won't hear on this board.

raumdeuter:


Once again it doesnt matter what you were bought for, what matters is what you do on the field

Danilo backs up 2-3 positions so he can have more minutes than Delph, If 4 guys are rotating a position surely one person will have more. Bailly Lindelof Jones Bind Smalling Rojo all rotate your FB position

Are any 2 teams the exact same?

if you have 7-8 players out of 11 on both teams are they the same or are they different?

This is the Juve team that crashed to gala

1Buffon
26Lichtsteiner
22Asamoah
3Chiellini
19Bonucci
15Barzagli
23Vidal
8Marchisio
10Tévez
14Llorente
6Pogba

Whats the difference between this and the one Alegri got to the finals with

1Buffon
26Lichtsteiner
19Bonucci
3Chiellini
33Evra
8Marchisio
21Pirlo
23Vidal
6Pogba
10Tévez
9Morata

raumdeuter:



It doesnt matter what you were bought to be, what matters is what you are doing on the field. Valencia wasnt bought to be a RB and Delph wasnt bught to be a LB

Mendy was bought to be a starter for some reasons he isnt starting

Their performance may not be insignificant but they are still not regulars. Lindelof if he plays the next 3 game will make 15 games can we say he is a regular for Man utd?

raumdeuter:


Old Lady. Actually they were the first European team I supported since the person who taught me about European football was a Juventus fan. So it was always Baggio Baggio

Nihilstjnr:


Kompany is the club captain and as soon as he came back from injury, Stones chopped bench straight.

If you're asking who is first choice between a rookie and the club captain, then i dont know what to say.

the second part of your post sounds so silly. For example, Against Leicester, Stones was subbed on in the 81st minute - That counts as 1 appearance.

The larrides of this world will count that appearance towards his total and claim he's first choice, when the guy didnt even play up to 10 minutes in that game

Gabriel jesus was subbed on in the 85th minute in their match against us. Thats another app. Hurrah! Jesus must be 1st choice cos he played 5 minutes of one match.

Even okada men, rewire and 'fokanizer' on the streets know that minutes played, not apps is what is used to measure involvement on the pitch.

larride:


Don't even try to change the narrative from back up to rotation. I repeat who are all these guys backing up. Danilo is backing up Walker and Delph though Danilo has more appearance than Delph. Stones is backing up who? G. Jesus is back up for Aguero right?

Dayo, you are not serious.

larride:


Egbon NihiList

So you mean Kompany has been out injured since last season? Biko egbon NihiList, enlighten us please.. Only a mischievous person will claim that Stones is not a regular for City but Kompany, Mangala and Delph are.

Can you help us with all City players minutes played so we can know those that are contributing and those that are contributing.

popizaino:
lol.
it is pretty much the same bro by the way let me EVEN agree with you it's not even the same and conte's juventus is inferior as you will like to put it but should that be an excuse on conte's part for not getting out of group stage of the ucl?

Nihilstjnr:


Delph has played over 200 more minutes in the league than Danilo, despite suffereing a 6 week injury, and has been suspended for the last 3 domestic games.

Apps are for neophytes.

Phil foden got subbed on in the 90th minute against Chelsea. He didnt even touch the ball once.

Thats 1 app

Not the same. Give me just a lukaku and see how my team will fare better.

Conte losing to galatasaray is a stupid reason to rubbish him. There was a time united under ferguson, finished at the bottom of the group in ucl.

May be ferguson was also a bad coach or average.

raumdeuter:


Of the players Pep is inning with 7-8 of them were inherited most of the new guys are either backups or rotation

is that not what I have been saying since?

airmark:


A key addition can change the fortune of a team. If we get a strong striker who won't be losing possession, and guarantees goals at chelsea tomorrow, conte wont have sleepless nights. Tell me who scored crucial goals for juve in that ucl and if he was part of conte's squad.

Now let's go back to city. You were the one crying up and down telling us how pep wouldn't succeed with old players, especially wbs, in his team. I remember when he started getting the results, after replacing those tired legs, you were calling diggz and others out. Now, because of the arguement at hand, the two teams of the handlers are the same.

Below was city's team that played ucl semi final under pelle and the other one is pep's against napoli, with aguero benched.

Only a fool will say pep and pelle's teams are the same.

larride:


Wonderful, that means Danilo was bought as a back up for Delph. Lmao

So egbon sir, when you were listing the players Pep bought as back up, you listed the following players, who are they backing up.

Mendy
Stones
G. Jesus
