Guardiola should give these 3 Man City players a chance against Monchengladbach

Manchester City’s Yaya Toure started his first match this season after his agent’s feud with Guardiola and the Ivory Coast global did not disappoint the manager, as he scored the victor against Crystal Palace.

Toure’s return was a reward for his magnanimity in making a public apology to Guardiola after the Spaniard had explained he would not be considered for selection until Seluk had said sorry for comments about Toure being “humiliated” by the club. But he is in the best hands, so he’s travelling there.

Last weekend we witnessed the return of Yaya Toure for Manchester City.

Kompany, who has started two league matches this season, has already had calf, groin and thigh injuries this year.

This is the first time Guardiola has returned to Germany for a competitive game since he quit Bayern Munich in May after winning seven titles in three seasons.

“If we are able to qualify for the Champions League (knockout stages), after, I will sit with myself, my staff, and we will decide who are the best players to help us to achieve in the Champions League games”.

The match will take place at Borussia Park. “They now move it about even better than before and that obviously makes them more risky”.

After their stunning win over Barcelona earlier this month, City can now secure their place in the last 16 with victory at Borussia-Park.

Following three poor home draws to Everton, Southampton and Middlesbrough, another looked on the cards here for much of the second half and it would have been due to another poor goal to concede and a lack of being clinical. “We’ll see. It is ligaments”. The German team cannot win since 25 October, for 4 consecutive games after losing the last two meetings and Cologne Hertha 0: 3 and 1: 2. “But, given the history of the club, we can not be considered favourites”.

“We are trying to (reach) winter at a good level and play in the Europa League – that is our aim”. “I’m not going to say they [Arsenal] didn’t want to win but they couldn’t be the way they normally play football”.

When he was asked whether Manchester City were one of the favourites for this season’s Champions League, Guardiola gave a little smile and said it might take a decade before they could be put in that kind of bracket.

“I am trying to do a lot in the next few years to be there”.

The German outfit have scored just one goal and won only once in their last six Bundesliga outings. We need this kind of player.
