Remember last yr....posession stats were in high 80's for us

Milner in for Nasri and show the same directness as today.

I'd like to keep same team as today with Milner for nasri, but against stoke, I'm in half a mind to start with lescott, nastasic, and Kompany to deal with set pieces and the rest of stoke's usual games. I suppose this would yield us going with a back 3 with zaba and clichy overlapping on the flanks... A formation that isn't held in high regard on here. For this match, I'd see the reason in it.

Lets face it, we have been shite from set pieces this year... Is it a coincidence that lescott hasn't been in the team (not a knock at nasty, as he's been brilliant).

They had 6 at the back last season and we won 3.0.
It's all about pace and quick feet against stoke.

That's why I would appeal Nasri's sending off.

Same team.

The FA would not share your sentiments I'm afraid.

4-0

offside goal, handball goal, off barrys ass goal, i dont care just the 3 points for this one and nothing less then bar watford a decent rest for the players for that huge game at arsenal which could be crucial.

Would be nice to give these inbreds a good pasting.They remind me of Wimbeldon,they don't want to play football,just spoil and break up play all the time.

On paper it is destined to be a difficult game for us.

Wouldn't it be nice to just muller the fcukers playing good football ?.

i hope 4-0

more likely 1-0 or 0-0

Mancini will troll Bluemoon like never before by starting Tevez and Mario.

"We play every 3 days, is important to keep the player fresh." ;)

Starting 11 for me would be -

Hart
Zabs-Kompany-Nastasic-Clichy
Yaya-Barry
Milner-Tevez-Silva
Dzeko

I woudn't mind seeing Lescott back in place of Nastasic for this one.

I think he is better in the air and therefore more suited to Stokes threat's.

Agreed. And maybe Tevez to start to keep players fresh?
