if bobby was a bit on the mad tyrant side, then i think the 'confidence' players will be given better treatment by pelly, hopefully bringing about a change in form and hopefully will win us the league, big cup, crap cup, chumps lge and world cup!!!!

I both agree and disagree with you on this, LT.

For me now we actually have too many "creative" options. Silva is the main man of course, but I would like to see Ya Ya utilised as an attacking midfielder more this season. Navas will give us some width and I believe Jovetic likes to play in a deeper role too.

I agree Nasri is a busted flush and I'd ship him out, too. But I'd be quite happy with the squad balance with what we have. There are only so many playmakers a team can incorporate and I'd have Silva in that role every game he's fit.

The problem is if he gets injured of course.

Have a feeling something like this could be our CL away game routine. Fernandinho and Garcia tasked mostly with controlling midfield, Yaya ahead with license to go forward more, Jovetic, Aguero and Silva/Navas up top. You could pop Rodwell in for Garcia if you fancied the game ending 5-6 rather than 0-1 too.

Barry and not Garcia holdng for me, mate, alongside Fernandinho (if he's as good as his repuataion)

I did type Barry first, but I think he will be marginalised as he's slowly phased out this season, so wouldn't be surprised to see Pellegrini opting for Garcia (Though I'd rather he didn't). We are going to have to start getting some use out of him sooner or later though.
