Re: Team for Sunday?

...........hart

Zab........nasty.........kompany......clichy

................Milner.......Barry.......

....Tevez..........yaya............silva

......................aguero

He won't though. He'll play the same personnel as above in a 442 with yaya holding and Milner wide again. Might even start nasri although I'd hope not.

Re: Team for Sunday?

Give Scotty a game against his old club

Why ?

We must play our strongest team, and that does not in any way include Sinclair (or Dzeko and Nasri imho).

I wouldn't mind seeing Nasri in place of place of Milner, as I think he could link up well with the midfield, but then we are not nearly as strong defensively. Barry had a bad game, but has been solid all season. I'd like to see him redeem himself against Chelski.

Hart, Zaba, Nasty, Komps, Clichy, Barry, Yaya, Milner, Silva, Aguero, Tevez.

IMO

Think Kolarov and Milner will start on the flanks to null the threat of Moses/Hazard

No will Mancini "go for it" against a team like Chelsea.

As the cliche goes we have 12 cup finals to go, and if we do lose our title to United lets give it our best shot in defending it, starting Sunday.

 

[southstandsteve]

i'd start with tevez he usually has a good game against john terry

Hart; Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Clichy; Yaya, Garcia; Milner, Aguero, Silva; Dzeko.
How I hope we line up, there's question marks over Barry over his game against Saints, but its a stick up between him and Garcia. An argument for Tevez's work rate could put him ahead of Dzeko possibly, but Aguero needs to be starting no questions.

Doesn't Tevez have a good goal-scoring record against Chelsea? He must start alongside Silva and Aguero. Unfortunately, Chelsea have an infinitely better defence than Leeds Utd and have a pretty good goalkeeper too. As a reult, I simply don't see us scoring more than once. On the other hand, Mata and Lampard are scoring goals willy nilly. I genuinely fear the worst. A draw would be a good result on current form, maintaining our push for second place. Deep down inside, I suspect Mancini may have the same opinion. Sorry guys.
