It's been a no brainer for me for some time that, with everyone fit, Dinho and Delph start. One of them gets injured, and Fernando comes in. Toure should be a bench option.
Football games are often decided by momentum, and it's sometimes very hard to stop that momentum. Either you have it yourself, or you prevent the opposition getting any. Too often we totally lack it from the start, because our midfield 2 (1 when Yaya plays) are ceding the midfield to the opposition, giving momentum to them.
Has Manuel got the cojones to turn today's benching of Yaya into the norm?
It came as a shock to many when the announcer pointed out we had scored the most from set pieces. I laughed at the comments that followed. Can't remember how man times I've shared my head at a ' I don't think Pelegrini practices set plays' comments.
On a side note. What happened to the manager's thread. I'd like to congratulate the man for a job well done.
I know most only want to speak about him when we are failing, but that's no reason to hide his thread :)
I'm gonna have to disagree with you. Our best formation is when our stars play well and we get a good run of luck.was never in doubt after i saw the lineup,my prematch prediction was 4-1, glad we kept a cleansheet
It is pretty evident that our best bet is 442 with if aguero plays, with delph and dino providing more protection in midfield, i think we should stick with 442
