I don't think all the other players would just stand by and allow Aguero and Mertesacker to go at it.

And they wouldn't this time either so where does the Aguero roasting Mert alive come in to it?

It's highly imporbable that Koscielny and the rest of our defence will succeed in preventing Aguero from having a go at Mertesacker for 90 minutes and that's without taking into consideration who will cover for Koscielny if he does make a mistake.

I doubt both of them featured in all of those 8 meetings.

I really don't care .. all I wanted to point out was that your point is imo not valid even if they both only played in four league matches against each other.

btw:

I fail to see how that invalidates my point. Aguero, with his skill and pace, will on most occasions get the better of Mertesacker.

If your claim would be correct why didn't they humilate us regulary with Mertesacker on the pitch vs Agüero besides the 6:3 all of these results look close (if you scroll down on my link)

Because in order for his point to work, Mertesacker would have to be an actual lamppost, which he definately isn't. Hes shut out or limited many top players, some of which have electric pace. It's more about how we play as a team than the individual battle imo.

If we stay tight and don't allow ourselves to become disorganised by keeping our shape, City will struggle again like they did last time.

If they do the same we could well be in for a bore draw.

Tbh Merte has done well sometimes and been absolutely roasted on some others. That Liverpool 5-1 game he got absolutely muffed and had to bring down Suarez iirc for the freekick which skrtel scored from (6 mins into the game). The previous time against them he made Suarez look shit.

Could go either way tbh.

We are going to lose terribly if Wenger starts Mertesacker against Aguero.

I'm sure you said that about every striker. Mert had bettered most

Alexis has a slight chance.

FINALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY


refreshed so many times today and yesterday trying to get a bloody decent ticket for this game and just got one. It's on the wrong side of block 7 but still pretty decent and hopefully can manoeuvre my way into 5/6 at some point. Our online box office system is absolutely dreadful though, hate using it and the updated format is crap.

Hope so, would be nice to be present for his first ever good game tbh. About time too.

[Callum]

In all seriousness though, Toure and Silva will have a field day up against Ramsey and Flamini and Aguero will be back to finish the chances they create for him. Not feeling at all confident. Would probably take a point.

Should've just asked me. Would've let you borrow the season ticket.

They'll probably come and play for the point like they did at United.
