Barry,
Vieira,
SWP,

RSC.

Seriously? At home to Wigan?

No creativity in the central midfield! Agree with the 4-4-2, but either Ireland or Vieira needs to play in the middle.

Zabaleta

I would have Onouha play instead of Toure but Mancini seems to prefer toure.
Ireland and barry should play against wigan, with barry playing a deeper role. There is no need for De Jong.
Finally I personally prefer Santa cruz to adebayor as he wins flick ons, holds the ball up and links up with carlos much better than adebayor who just drifts outwide.

Looks like Ireland will be out, Barry is the most over-rated player ever to stumble across a football pitch, Id say Zabaleta is better than Vieira, Kompany has to stay at the back now Lescotts out and playing anyone else in CM in a 442 would be stupid.

If Irelands fit then Id go with either:

Richards...Toure...Kompany...Garrido

...................Ireland...................

Pointless dropping Richards, who's been playing well, foran inexperienced Boyata, when we have Onuoha on the bench.

I think Toure could do a job at RB, but if I wanted to try Toure out at RB I'd play the backline like this:

Toure....Richards....Kompany....Garrido

or:

Toure....Onuoha....Kompany....Garrido

But I'd wait till everyones back and try this out:

Toure....Kompany....Lescott....Bridge

I'd probobly stick with Richards at RB, but I'd like to try this out...

Looks like the way to go. . . Richards is a better CB than RB in my opinion.
