Glad to see Rekik making his debut, he will do us proud.

Mancini treats Sinclair like shit. Has confidence to start a player who just turned 18 but can't even start Sinclair who Mancini bought, and was Swansea's best player and even with Nasri and Balo out you would think he would get a game. Stupid move from the start

what is his best position?

Surprised Milner isn't in for Garcia to give us a bit more energy/pace in the middle but maybe he's not fit enough to start (as I assume is the case with Kompany). I would also have started Lescott in this one.

Other than that it's probably the best we can do given our current injuries.

Looks like a 4-2-3-1. Hopefully a win but I suspect it may be a narrow one.

holy shit, two teenagers in defence (iirc) and the argentine dou upfront with silva and yaya just behind, this will be very interesting!

Garcia's the only player in the team who's any good at heading the ball.

From our facebook page:

That defence has got me worried though we'll be far too strong going forward. 4-2 written all over it; in fact I've put a 10 spot on that score. What this space....

why? zab, kolo and nastasic have been excellent recently and rekik is up against a bottom-of-the-table winger. plenty of defensive support in midfield with garcia and barry, and as you say we will hopefully dominate possession so we should be fine:)

OMG Rekik Starts so excited, good to see Mancini letting him start !

That's why I would have included Lescott. We looked a lot steadier defensively against Newcastle after he came on.

Hope we are not under estimating Reading. Garcia and Barry lack pace between them, both left sided, should be fascinating.
