[bellsouth]

Clichy and Sagna now, hells bells, there's no let up is there. You get two back and two more drop

 

[FantasyIreland]

Zab - Mangala- Ota- Kolarov
----Fern----------Fern------
-Navas-----Yaya-----KDB--
------------Aguero--------------

Given availability,my prediction.

Like a revolving bastard door, our treatment room

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Sagna had better not be out for long. Zab is the weak link these days.

This but with Delph for Fernandinho for a rest

we won't win without Nasri, Silva, Fernandinho, and our first-choice fullbacks. Fernandinho a must-play for me.

 

[Hungarian blue]

I'm assuming Sterling won't start yet, or at least that's the indication I get from Pellegrini. With Nasri, Silva out as well, it definitely looks like De Bruyne and Navas must start again. The question remains who will be the left winger then, but I guess De Bruyne will have to, which is not the best use of his services. This could either mean that it will be a midfield three of the Nandos with Yaya further up the pitch, or either Kelechi or Bony will play alongshide Aguero.

Should be Barker on the left, will probably be Delph though.

The revolving door of injuries continues unabated.
The club needs to address why we have had this continual ridiculous situation since August.
Why is it that Leicester have gone the season with barely any injuries (currently 0) compared to our regular 5-6 players out?
Yes I accept that we have participated in a lot more games but surely it cannot just be for that reason alone.

 

[stablemcfc]

Painful list of injuries again.

Hart
Zab Ota Mangala Kolarov
Dinho Toure
Navas KdB Delph
Aguero

Don't like Delph on LW but would rather us have KdB central given his form in that position of late & it sounds unlikely Sterling will start.

Got to be a injury in training

---------------Hart

[Claytop]

At least Nasri's injury doesn't sound serious.

 

[Chev Chelios]

Are we on sky?

[BerkshireBlue]

we're down to the bare bones again and most worryingly it's all our creative players.
like the poster above I think this is formation that maximises the creativity

---------------Hart
Zab - Ota- Mangala- Kolarov
--------Dinho----Fernando-----
-Navas--------Yaya-----------KDB
------------Aguero--------------

I don't like the sound of bring Delph in and playing him on the wing as he's more of a box to box midfielder so he can only replace one of the Ferns. There's a good shout to start Iheanacho rather than Fernandinho to give him a rest.

I think we have a good headache in defence though. I think they've finally clicked so I wouldn't throw Kompany in especailly on a cold Newcastle night game. Actually I'd be tempted to keep Ota and Mangala in for the reminder of the games they've been that good recently.
