Given the limited options available (with Milner, Barry and Nasri likely to be missing), I personally hope that Mario does start...on the left with Carlito and Sergio up front. With Yaya, Silva and Garcia providing support, we should be too strong for the Toon Army, especially with Edin coming off the bench later on.thedogsbollocks said:We cant afford to lose this,defeat really is not an option in this game.I am hoping we play our best starting 11,however i have this niggling thought that Mancini might make a point of starting Ballotelli .

If we can get a point out of this game, or more, it will look good as there should be light at the end of the injury tunnel and the European fixtures out of the way
That gap is bridgeable at this time - Chelsea were 8 points ahead of us not so long ago. Having seen them at close quarters, I don't think they can improve their points per game.citymad said:Marvin said:The alternative is to use Zab as central defensive cover for Kompany, or use Zab in the defenisve midfield role.

We need more than a point Marvin. The rags will be 8 points ahead and Chelsea will possibly reduce their deficit when they come back, make no bones about it this a must win game or were in more trouble than we realise.
Having recently concede 4 goals at home to Norwich, I doubt that Swansea will cause Manure any problems.Marvin said:Next week Utd are at Swansea and we have Reading.
