They are predicting that Vinny, Yaya and Kun will be back too, but I think it's too soon for Kun. He tweeted today that his training is going well, but I wont believe he's in line to return until he's back training with the squad.

Newcastle have impressed in recent weeks, but we should still beat them
 
This match can't come soon enough for me.Im really curious to see how the team are and if they are united and going to end the season in style or just wimp out.
 
--------------Hart
Zaba - Kompany - Nastasic - Clichy
----------Milner - Garcia
-------Silva - Yaya - Tevez
-------------Aguero

Seems the best way to go for me.
We really need someone who'll work their arse off in CM, that'll be Milner.

Garcia will be fine next to Yaya, Rodwell or Milner.
When he's with Barry it's just an absolute disaster, but with a little bit of pace next to him he's fine. (Fine being a bit generous maybe)
 
Just to give him some game time and sharpen him up for the Semi in which i think he should play as he has not put a foot wrong .... yet!

Not considered that but IF Bob is playing him at Wembley then yeah he should play in the next 2 games not just the Toon game.

Hopefully Kun can come of the bench for 20 mins and Vinny can do a hour from the start as well.

Going off topic ---I'm torn on who to start in the Semi, heart says Panti and head says Hart. It's our only chance of winning anything and in particular the semi result may well cement or cost Bob his job as whoever wins our semi should unless something freaky happens will win the final.

Best team for me. But Mancini has been using two strikers of late..
 
If Aguero is not 100% Tevez and Dzeko will start (Aguero might get minutes in 2nd half)...RM will not take a major risk + Dzeko has just bagged two goals for Bosnia so Roberto might as well ride with him on the confidence factor...

If Rodwell could ever stay fit, I would like to see how a pairing with him and Garcia might fare.

After dzeko last performance against Everton? I'd be suprised if he started him after that. Tevez up font on his own if aguero isn't fit.
 
---------------------Hart
Zabaleta--Kompany--Nastasic--Clichy
-----------------Yaya--Barry
-----Milner---------Silva---------Nasri
--------------------Tevez

Aguero to get the last 30 minutes

Why play Silva in the middle when his best position is on the wing?
Why play Nasri on the wing when his best position is in the middle?

Switch the two of them and the team seems okay, but I still have my doubt about including Nasri at all.
 
I can see Milner being benched for this game in view of his midweek England duties, when he played the full 90 minutes alongside Hart and Lescott in freezing conditions. Barry and Nasri will probably start against Newcastle. Zabaleta and Clichy didn't play midweek, so they should be okay to start. Silva and Kolarov were suspended, so will be raring to go. Aguero may be fit enough to start from the bench. The quandry may well be Kompany, who played a full 90 minutes for Belgium despite not being fully fit. Nasty also played a full game.
