Defensive Injuries

I would start with Boyata at Centre Back without hesitation. Did a good job, until his mistake against Arsenal, which Mancini destroyed him over. Better than what we have had there for the last two games. If not what's the f'in point in keeping him. Yes, lets play somebody in a position they can play in, FFS.

Nasty and Lescott start. And Garcia as the backup CD. For all the whinning about Garcia, he was the best defender at Cardiff.

Does it sound totally stupid if we were to put Yaya at CB next to nastasic ? Would it work ? And by work I mean would he be better than Garcia

Aw come on now, you can't be serious. Yaya is no good defensively even in set pieces so he couldn't play there for a whole game Also he can't (or won't) head the ball, unless it comes straight at him and then he usually tries to get out of the way.

I'd definitely pick Richards over Garcia, and if Richards isn't fit then Boyata.
