If Richards is as fit as they say then him and Lescott should start. But as he's not it will be Garcia alongside him.

Its possible to drop Yaya in at CB and bring in Jovetic or Nasri. If we need the big man further forward during the game then we bring on Garcia and push him forward.
I honestly believe that against Cardiff and Hull we shouldn't have any issues

Why not Rodwell? Wasn't he meant to be a CB at Everton or has he always been in midfield?

3-4 Weeks is actually better than I feared (if that's correct). Groin injuries can be notoriously difficult to treat, because of awkward access to the damage and difficulty to immobilise the use of the groin. They can also be persistent and recurring, so 3-4 weeks for a full recovery would be as good as we can hope for imo. Nastasic could well be back soon, and I have every faith in Joleon; he's a top defender, particularly defending balls in to the box, which we can expect to encounter over the next few games. Vinny back for the derby would be the goal, I guess.

Re: Kompany
Unfortunately Micah insured himself, yet again, didn't he? He wasn't even on the bench on Monday.
He's a fragile giant the lad.

I don't have a problem with Garcia at centre half, he's done OK there in the past.
The two games he had there last season were 0-0 at QPR and he did more than enough and Southampton away - where he was landed with Joe Hart flapping and stuck behind a knackered Yaya and Barry who was away with the fairies that night and gave no protection or support whatsoever.
If Yaya and Fernandinho do their job then Garcia should be fine, he's no Kompany, but then nobody is.

Who is this Micha? And what's insurance got to do with it?
