[Marvin]

Unless there are some niggles we don't know about, we have a lot of players and options available. More than ever

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

HART

MAICON KOMPS LESCOTT KOLAROV


GARCIA YAYA BARRY


SILVA

NASRI TEVEZ

3 o'clock on a Saturday??!!??

What a stupid time to have a football match!!

Tevez is absolute certainty to play. Only striker not on international duty. I'd bet on Balotelli up front with him, with Aguero coming in against Madrid.

Dzeko won't start either game IMO, but if it's one it'll be Villa instead of Balotelli.

But there's Real Madrid coming up.

I think Mario deserves a start

I think he will start, less sure about the deserving part. 1 goal in open play since March I believe.

I love Saturday games

Only injuries we have atm are Micah and Rodwell who´s training with the first team but is not ready, Clichy had a backproblem but is ok according to RM and could start tommorow.

 

[olddirty]

I think the players who didn't play in internationals have a very good chance of starting

Maicon, Lescott, Garcia, Nasri, Silva, Tevez, Sinclair, Barry

Agree.
Tevez and Mario to start.

So it can look something like this:
----------------Hart-------------------
Maicon---Lescott---Kompany---Zabaleta
----------------Garcia-------------------
Silva------------Yaya------------Sinclair
----------Tevez------Balotelli-----------

Will this be our first of the season? Pretty sure every home game has been on telly up to now

Would be harsh to drop Milner as he's been in fine form when he's had the opportunity to play. Same with Dzeko got a great track record against lower-league sides. Would like to see Sinclair get a proper run out as well. I'd opt for this side:

v Villa

-----------------------Hart-----------------------
------Zab-------Kompany----Nastasic----Clichy--
----------------Milner--------Y.Toure-------------
--------Silva---------Aguero-----------Sinclair----
----------------------Dzeko----------------------

v R.Madrid

----------------------Hart------------------------
------Maicon------Kompany----Nastasic---Clichy-
----------------------Garcia----------------------
-------Silva------------------------Kolarov-------
--------------------Y.Toure----------------------
-------------Tevez--------Balotelli--------------
