Assuming Lescott and Kompany aren't fit

------------Hart
Zaba-Richards-Kolo-Clichy
--------Milner--NDJ
Tevez-----Toure----Nasri
----------Aguero

Balo and Dzeko seem more motivated as subs.

I'd prefer Tevez but he's not fit enough yet.

There's not enough movement up front, we end up just passing it aimlessly back and forwards in front of a packed defence, eventually a fullback gets up the pitch and crosses to...no-one.

Against Sporting and Chelsea we've been pretty poor up until we go 3 up front, suddenly we have options for the midfielders to pick, the opposition defence is stretched and the strikers can get the ball into feet and combine with each other. It's all very well playing Silva drifting in, narrowing the play when he's on form/fit, but he's not.

Get a bit more direct, they'll pack the defence, we need to create holes, we need bodies in the box for when the full-backs get up.

Re: Your Team vs Stoke

Kolarov and Dzeko are certainties to start but maybe our more mobile forwards would be best against Stoke's defence. Too soon for Carlos to start, but he could be a key player off the bench

Re: Your Team vs Stoke

Has everyone forgotten the cup final against Stoke when Mario was bossing the game?

That pitch is small and there is not much room to breathe. If Edin plays and his touch is shit, he will effectively be passing the ball to the Stoke players.
