Whats the weather like in manchester guys? Really hope this one isnt called off too as ive already missed the sunderland match. Ive flown 3000 miles for this ffs and driving up from london again tomorrow. Well Im in the UK more for work, but seeing my team play was mean to be the highlight! : D

Hopefully we put out a decent side, and batter them

The weathers fine. A bit grey and gloomy but after living in Manchester for 28 years you soon get used to it.

Unfortunately we don`t know how fit Garcia and Nasri are. To start both would be too much of a gamble.
Silva must start but not in his wide position otherwise we`ll get done again. We need to offer more help to Kolarov, so I would sacrifice Silva from the midfield and play him off the striker, leaving Milner to play in front the full back.
If Garcia is not up to starting I`d shift Milner into the middle, push Kolarov out wide and bring Clichy in at full back.

Oh I'm a cock for asking a question. I take it you're one of the bandwaggon jumpers since the investment came in. Don't be so touchy :'(

Is Garcia out for sure?

Thought I heard he was out until after Barca game, but as seen now fit for tomorrow, I guess he is under radar compared to other names, but will do a good job tomorrow if starts.

 

[mancunial]

I thought Garcia was excellent at Stamford bridge if he is fit he could show his worth tomorrow, if he breaks up their play
and cuts out their high passes similar to away fixture then he could start to impress ( hopefully )

I wan't to see Clichy instead of Kolarov.

I can't remember exactly because I was so caught up in the game, but wasn't one of Mourinho's tactics in the game a few weeks ago letting Ivanovic bomb down his right hand side but left behind a back three of Azpilicueta, Terry and Cahill to make sure they remained defensively tight?

He knew Kolarov would fly up our left hand side but lacked the defensive discipline that Zabaleta had, in the end Ivanovic dominated that side of the pitch and I don't think we can be done like that again.

Our left side has been a weakness defensively this season, Mourinho will most likely target that area again.
