AJ has to start

[Pezzer2]

AJ is a must, especially if Rat face is playing. Matt Jarvis had a field day against him for Wolves recently. AJ would skin him alive.

Rat face won't and no he doesnt

Barry or Milner but i'd prefer Milner for a bit of pace and attack

Am i the only one who thinks AJ is more effective of the bench.

He seems to disappear when he plays 90 mins.

Gives full backs a whole new set of problems when he comes on for the last 20.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

No he doesn't.

I agree! And this will be his role for us when everyone is fit and suspension free. Sunday was a glimpse into what Mancini wants, in a few weeks we'll see:

--------------------------Hart-------------------------
Boateng--------Kolo--------Kompany--------Kolorov
-----------------de Jong--------Barry-----------------
--------------------------Yaya-------------------------
--------Balotelli---------------------------Silva--------
--------------------------Tevez------------------------

Bench, Any 7 from:
Given, Lescott, Boyata, Zabaleta, MJohnson, AJohnson, Milner, Adebayor, Guidetti


But since Balo is suspended, AJ to start tomorrow will do for me!

Barry out on the wing? Treacle feet? Even rat face would have it easy unless you mean put Milner out there and Barry in the middle?

Lol meant team not formation

Based on how Mancini has set us up against Utd in the past, Milner will probably play instead of Balotelli. Johnson didn't have too much success against Utd the last time we played them, and I think Mancini will use MIlner to make our midfield more solid rather than expansive. I just hope we try and press the action more this time around because last year it was horrible watching a team full of quality players sit back and allow a hardly dynamic midfield of Carrick, Fletcher and Scholes completely run the show. Johnson is someone we can us to impact the game late on when it will become more stretched, but Milner will give us more energy going in both directions. I also think it will depend on whether Kolarov starts or not because if he does, then Milner will provide more cover for him than Johnson would.
