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.

have you watched KDB in the last few games, he's a creation machine and yaya ain't too shabby either
 
Pep leaves nothing to chance.
Physicians /dieticians/positional coaches /motivators will all be his tried and trusted team.

Is it the medical team that needs fixing though?

They come in to repair injuries and fix problems, but surely we shouldn't be having so many in the first place? Isn't it about what's happening (or isn't happening) in training that's the problem?

Either way, I'll be glad to be shut of all of them once Pep arrives.

I presume you haven't seen Bayerns injury record then, it's worse than ours this season. It has been posted on other threads can't remember where though.
Edit found it on a Bayern forum, this was in January
"List of players being sidelined because of muscle problems

Götze | 4 months |
Benatia | 2+2 months |
Ribéry | 2 months + 9 months ancle inflamation |
Boateng | ~ 3 months |
Bernat | 3 months |
Costa | 1 month |
Robben | 1+1 month |
Lahm | ? (missed last match of the year) |
Rode | 1 month |
Badstuber |3 months+ |
Coman | 1 match |

Not included:

Alaba (ancle) | 1,5 months |
Rafina (bruised knee) | 0,5 Months |
Ribéry (ancle) | 4 Months |
Martínez (knee) | 0,5 Months |
In total: 14 injured field players, 17 injuries, missing 29,5 months, 23 caused by injuries in the thighs and adductors after 4 months of football and 28 games.

Shocking."

Back to this game,they need the points and they have a lot of hope after their last game,it won't be the walkover it may have been,hopefully some minutes for vinny and sterling if all goes well but start with our strongest team and hope no new injuries

The injuries seemed to have worsened since they moved to to academy. Is It possible that there's not enough give in the pitches which could be causing strains.
