Looks like no Kompany, Bridge or Ireland...so Hughes's team

[Didsbury Dave]

NMT's training report suggests there will be no Kompany, Bridge or Ireland on Thursday. So the team I think Hughes will pick:

..................Given..............

Richards Dunne Onouha Garrido

.............Zableta Fernandez

......................Elano

............SWP...............Robinho

....................Bellamy


I know that leaves Garrido exposed to their useful right winger but I don't feel we have a choice as we are missing De Jong and Kompany.

The only other option for me might be:

..................Given..............

Richards Dunne Onouha Garrido

.............SWP Zableta Fernandez


............Bellamy...............Robinho

....................Caceido

SWP has played central midfield a few times this season and battled pretty well, so Hughes may want to go with the above as a slightly more defensive side.

NOTE: I want this thread to be the team you think he will pick, not the team you personally would pick

I suspect he'll play Zab at LB after his performance against Wallcott on Saturday.

Zab will be left back I reckon. Kompany will be fit to play

Sometimes players dont train for precaution hopefully that what it is, how many times this season did we see city players returning quick from injury.

Given, Richards, Onuoha, Dunne, Garrido, Zabaleta, Fernandes, SWP, Elano, Robinho, Belamy.

I reckon MH will play –


………………………Given

Benjani….Onuoha….Evans….Fernandes

……………Robinho….Kompany

Garry Cook………………………….Hart

………………………Himself

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Well Kompany didn't train and is rumoured to have a torn hamstring, and Ireland is only moving gingerly.

Sounds to me like we have to assume they won't figure.

Good choice, Garry Cook will play a big part down the right.
