Starting XI for next season, your prediction.

[Skipdog]

This is what i think mancini will go with V Swansea

.........HART..........
RICHARDS....KOMPANY....LESCOTT.....KOLAROV
BARRY......DE JONG......
SILVA...............YAYA.........BALOTELLI
..................DZEKO.................

 

[Jumanji]

For Swansea I think it'll look like the formation against Inter with Nasri replacing Milner.

-----------------Hart------------------
----------------------------------------
Richards----Komps----Lescott----Kolarov
----------------------------------------
----------------De Jong----------------
---------Yaya-----------Nasri----------
-----------------Silva------------------
---------Aguero---------Dzeko---------

we'd lose a lot of "energy", but we'd make up for it as we'd be able to keep the ball a lot easier. IMO I don't think Nasri nor Aguero will start on Monday, but Bolton away could be colossal.

Whichever case, this one addition (Nasri) already makes us so much more dynamic and deadly. Scary really once the wheels start moving.

thanks put zabaletta left back because he is my fav player always plays well and gives 100 per cent not sure on cliche and kolarov.

I'll go with this 1 Subs will be Clichy for Kolarov Aguero & Tevez double sub for Balotelli and Barry to score more goals :)

That's all good too. Lescott in my opinion is the biggest weakness in regards to cohesion and chemistry. So I like your Coates addition. I also like Pushing Yaya behind Aguero. He is better holding up play than either Dzeko or Balotelli, and is more comfortable dropping deep to pickup the ball.

This will be close to the kind of cohesion I believe we need to matchup against the Arsenals, Totenhams and Uniteds.

 

[M.C.F.C.O.K]

I love the fact that upto the inter game in Dublin everyone had clichy at leftback but since kola had a good game against inter then again yesterday he's back in favour!!! Lol

For me it is only because its a lesser team in Swansea, so on that basis i will play the left back who is better attackingly than Clichy who is probably slightly better defensivly. IMO

 

[bluemoondays]

Starting XI for Swansea, I think he may try out a few "2nd string" players, not sure on keeper as there is a small chance he may try out Pantilimon

.......................Hart.......................
Zabba.........VK......Boyata........Clichy
......................NDJ.........................
.........Milner..............Yaya...............
..Nasri?................................Aguero.
....................Dzeko........................

Subs: Pantilimon, Richards, Lescott, Barry, Silva, Balo, Tevez

FWIW my best XI, assuming Tevez stays and Balo grows up. If not swap Dzeko for Tevez.

.......................Hart.......................
Micah.........VK......Lescott........Clichy
...............Yaya.......NDJ..................
...................................................
Aguero............Silva...................Balo
....................Tevez.......................

Richards----Komps----Lescott----Kolarov
----------------------------------------
----------De Jong------Yaya------------
-----------------Silva-------------------
---Nasri------------------------Balo-----
----------------Aguero-----------------

I think Mancini will (unfortunately) start by playing Kolarov ahead of Clichy. But I don't think it will be long until this changes.

I seriously hope he doesn't chose Barry or Milner over De Jong or Toure. If these two are fit to play they should play every week.

This ^^^ ....... but i think we might possibly see Barry in for Yaya if his injury is bad enough, lets hope not.

This^^ But changing Balo for Dzeko and then placing Aguero on the wing where Balo was
