Can't see the team being anything else maybe yaya for de bruyne. Wouldn't mind seeing delph in there myself but he won't. Also see no chance in us winning this match with that defense.

Has Zaba had a setback as he was on the bench at the weekend?

Mp said he is injured that's all we know

 

[whos_kompany85]

So important to start the game well and get our front players involved early. Solid defensive effort badly needed and to be honest a point would be a brilliant result

 

[cleavers]

Are you using Avast?

Not that I'm aware of ;o)

I use zonealarm extreme security.

I think the solid defensive effort may be a bit hopeful

 

[cleavers]

I can see those waspish :)

We need to be tight at the back and pack the midfield, play them on the counter.

We have to negate their midfield with work rate and energy so Delph needs to come
in for Yaya.

Tough on KDB and no doubt Yaya won't be happy but needs must.

No mangala out injured along with about six others ....

 

[Neville Kneville]

I'll be amazed if Yaya doesn't play.

 

[imtangledupinblue]

Will Serg see the game out or will he get injured again

Whether it's tommorow or Saturday sure he will join silva and kompany in the treatment room for the Christmas fixtures. They all do every year.

 

[jimmybarnesblue]

Cant believe the injuries, just when things were starting to look up, Silvas return has been 'one week away' for about a month now. Oh and i would definitely start Delph but Manuel will obviously start Yaya as he is obsessed with him. Lets hope for another good performance 2-1 im saying

Hasn't he got a clause in his contract to start every game?

I'd play him at Centre half, can do no worse.

Really up against it with Demichelis in defence.

Can we park the bus for 90 minutes? We'll have to. We can't attack them as Demichelis will get caught one on one. We'll have to play as we did at Utd.

Cant see yaya playing there think the midfield would have enough with Fern1 Delph and Yaya
and i also think that Sterling will be the one to be dropped as hes played quite a bit more than navas recently (including Internationals) And KDB has got that CL/ individual quality pellegrini loves to rely on

buts thats only what i see which means nothing haha

 

[Bluekiwi]

Probably damaged his toes when he kicked the wall after watching Saturday's shambolic performance.

As for Mangala what has happened to him? Packing a sad because of all the criticism levelled at him?

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

A CL game where a draw is a good result is bonus for us. Its about time we put in a crafty performance. Lets do what all fu*kers do to us and steal the points from this one. I dont care who plays. I want a clean sheet, 1 shot and 1 goal in the game!

 

[sam-caddick]

I am hoping to see the 4-1-4-1 that saw us be successful against Sevilla, plus it also saw us get two 0-0 draws against United and Villa away so it's proven to leave us far more defensively stable.

Juve have to win because if Sevilla beat Gladbach and we beat Juve it becomes a fight for qualification between Sevilla and Gladbach in the final round, at Sevilla as well, Juve won't want that.

I just hope we don't go too attacking leaving us far too exposed, a draw is a good result for us.
