Hart
Kompany. MDM
Zabba. Mangala
Dinho. Fernando
Milner.
Yaya.
Jovetic
Aguero
will he have the balls though,the fact Silva is not playing does restrict his choice a little
Why would he suddenly play mangala out of position when we have Aleks and clichy?

those two have been crap and Mangala is quite capable of playing in a left back posistion

I believe this was mentioned in an earlier thread that he had played LB at Porto. I'm warming to the idea. It might limit our attacking prowess on that side but will certainly strengthen the back 4 considerably. We have enough firepower up front that we could possibly do this.
FantasyIreland said:Richards team above,with the exception of maybe Jovetic for Nasri,is definitely how we should go.
Slightly lacking in creativity......but it has power,mobility and hunger.
May be kolarov instead of Mangala as I haven't seen him play at LB, other than that looks a good team.marco said:pikku said:Now that Silva is out, I suddenly find our team line up unpredictable apart from the back four and Hart, hopefully this will work in our favour on Sunday.

Everyday there is some risk of injury. Loads of players are injured in training. It was a game we wanted to win whether you see it as 4th in terms of importance or not. It was also a game where we could try and put a performance together and address previous poor results. Silva getting injured at any time is a loss. But you are completely blowing it out of proportion and showing no respect to a manager who brought us our best season in decades last time out. We can alter the system to create chances a different way. Yaya can create chances, so can Jovetic, and Nasri, and Milner and Navas. We have more than enough against the rags who aren't particularly good at defending. Calm it down child.
Oh dear - we are are getting your panties in a twist aren't we? Do you not think it is reasonable to question why our best player is turning out 4 days before one of our biggest games of the season in a competition which, whilst 'important', is 4th on the 'important' list? Why, for example did he not play Kompany and Zabaleta from the start on Wednesday? Resting them for Sunday maybe? I accept that players can get injured at any time, I accept that Pellegrini won two trophies last season and at this very early stage in his so far successful career at City, I certainly wouldn't advocate dismissal etc. However, playing Silva on Wednesday, who has been the stand out player again and again this year, rather than rest him for what will be a series of far more important games, is poor judgement and , for a fan, losing your best player 4 days ahead of the game against your hated rivals in this way, is frustrating.
I'll assume that you are on your bleed at the moment, hence your 'moron' and 'child' quips. Be careful not to burst into tears on Sunday if we're not creating many chances.
I've checked the OS and cannot see the priority list for us this year. Could this be "your important" list?
I think if you were given the opportunity to ask the manager, he would tell you that all comps are equally as important. I get your pissed with David getting injured, we all are, but to claim he shouldn't have been playing does not fit with the clubs ideals.

Call me old fashioned, but regardless of what the OS site says or not, the League is more important than the Capital One Cup, always was, always will be.
