Formation 4-3-3

Kompany would be captain, and a fully fit Michael Johnson would get the nod over Barry in midfield. If Johnson was injured, I'd move Kompany to the central midfield slot, and put Onuoha in his place. Depending on who we were playing, (for example, a struggling team, or a defensive minded one at home) I'd leave De Jong on the bench and have Santa Cruz upfront with Tevez, in a 4-4-2.

Looking at the various combinations listed for our best midfield,i think it's pretty obvious that this is where our problem lies,none of the players we have are automatic first choice for the majority and subsequently cannot be deemed good enough to take the club where we want to be.
Midfield,central especially,has to be the priority come the summer.

Agree with the above - Kompany should be captain

In fairness, we have no real standout left-backs, Bridge is really the best of a bad bunch. Lescott could play there though.

You could apply that theory to many positions,Bridge is typical of the standard we have,so to pick him out is,imo,unfair.
