Starting XI V Stoke - Boxing Day

[tomb17]

having said that he would probably play out of his skin ha ha

change of mind

Given
Zabeleta
Toure
Kompany
Sylvinho ( I hate to say)
SWP
De jong
Bellamy
Robinho
Santa Cruz
Tevez

 

[mdj0520]

Didn't Robinho score a hat trick against stoke last year?

Look, I want Bellamy to start too, but if you are going to spout shit about Robinho getting out muscled as your reasoning, you don't have a clue and can fuck right off.

 

[erocsevil]

I think until Jan 1st when he can go out and buy a left back, he should play 5-3-2

Given

Toure Kompany Onouha

Swp Barry

Ireland De jong

Robbie

tevez Adebayor

 

[ElanJo]

Are Richards and SWP out?

--------------------Given---------------------

Zabaleta------Toure------Kompany-----Onuoha

---------Ireland----Dejong-------Barry--------

--------------------Tevez---------------------

-------------Adebayor---Robi/Bellers-----------

 

[yellamcfc]

This team ought to Dick Stoke if all fit and available and willing to show the manager that they're prepared to fight for their places/futures.

--------------------------Given------------------------------

Toure------------Onouha------------Kompany------------Barry

--------------------------De jong-----------------------------

Wright-Phillips------------------------------------------Bellamy

-------------Ireland/Robinho---------Tevez--------------------

-------------------------Santa Cruz---------------------------

 

[Aussie!]

If RSC doesn't start ahead of Ade I will be GUTTED! He was immense against Sunderland.

if bellamy gets benched i will be MANCINI OUT.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

I think he'll go for this team
Given
richards Toure Kompany Barry

De Jong

Tevez Ireland Bellamy/Robi

Adebayor RSC


I think he'll want lots of height and strength on there, but also very attacking

CTID

 

[avoidconfusion]

He certainly will have a selection headache.

Bellamy should not be benched just because Robinho has a big name. If anything I would bench SWP and stick Robbie on the right.
If he benches Ireland then we will miss a creative midfielder.

I would play this formation I think:


---------------------------Given

Onouha-------Toure------------Kompany---------Barry

-----------------De jong-------Ireland

Robinho--------------------------------------Bellamy

--------------------Tevez

-------------------------Santa Cruz


De Jong obviously being the DMF and Ireland being the CMF. Tevez playing right behind Santa Cruz as an AMF

 

[ibennett63]

Get Ned and Kompany at CB now. Toure has been shocking and is going ACON after this game anyway.

Agree.

 

[chazmcfc]

if robinho and adebayor play it is a farce. they have been a disgrace.
