City out but not down as Kompany sees red and the world sees blue

Manchester City went into Sundays FA Cup third round tie with Manchester United with a slightly depleted side. The Toures are on International duty and Balotelli and Dzeko are both nursing slight knocks. It was expected that City would change things around in the outfield but what surprised me was the inclusion of 6ft 10 Costel Pantilimon in place of the first choice Joe Hart in goal.
