David Kelly 1116 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I think we'll see close to our 1st team for the game against Sociedad, but probably only the 1st half.You would think we should do. Surely it makes sense to give the players you are wanting to play together the chance to get some familarity with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3442 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Fair points, but I wouldn't put it past Pardew to play Mbiwa at right back, Gouffran up front etc. Dummet at left back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13830 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Haidara will be at left back. Anita or Mbiwa at right back - unless Janmaat is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3442 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 What makes you so sure? Is Dummet unfit? Hope you're right and that Janmaat is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13830 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Haidara has performed better in pre season and looks in better shape. I can't see him starting Dummett as Man City are pretty pacey and Dummett is fairly slow- although I do think there's a good player in there somewhere.

David Kelly 1116 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 You think? I can see him playing much further down the league in years to come. I'm not sure what attributes he has to suggest he can make it at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8973 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 He's decent defensively and has good instincts there, but I'm not sure if that'll be enough to make up for short comings when his position is more and more about attacking ability.

beatty 24 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 He is extremely limited on the ball and very sluggish physically. Very Danny Simpson in possession; if a simple pass is not available he immediately looks for a channel ball. Not the hallmarks of a promising youngster. Not sure what he's done to merit the first team exporsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1116 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 He makes Wilson look like an international class player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelie 103 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Have I missed something!! Why wouldn't Janmaat be fit? He played in the World Cup and hasn't done nowt but holiday since then and surely he has kept himself relatively fit in preparation for a new season.

Because just like Meenzer wouldn't attempt a marathon without first preparing for it, CT wouldn't tackle an all you can eat buffet without working the gut muscles and you wouldn't take on the stairs without at least a couple of lunges, Janmaat will need to get from physically fit to match fit. Bear in mind he's played a lot of football last season and his Jody needs some time to recover before he does it all again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACKANDWHITEGEORDIE 0 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Just as long as there is no 'I can run 100 metres in 9.8 MINUTES', Dummett, Saylor or Obertan. Rolando could be our secret weapon as none of the City players would have seen him play although Zabaleta can be a tough nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
