Re: Your Team vs Stoke

-----------------------Hart

Richards---Kompany--------Lescott------Kolarov

--------------De Jong-------Barry

---------------------Yaya

Johnson-----------------------------Silva

--------------------Aguero

If we play that team, we cannot lose.

right so 2 of your front 3 are players who have been shit for us in recent months? okay...no we definately can't lose with that, and we probably couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo either.

Re: Your Team vs Stoke

I'd go:

---------------Hart-----------------

Zabaleta-Richards--Kompany--Kolarov

----------De Jong--Yaya------------

--Milner-------Aguero-------Nasri---

---------------Dzeko---------------

If we're losing or drawing after 60 minutes then on comes Carlos for Milner.

Hate having to leave Silva out but he desperately needs a rest.

Re: Your Team vs Stoke

Same back 5 as today unless Komps/Lescott return - then push richards out right and pair either of them with toure.

Barry, Yaya, Nasri, Milner, Dzeko, Aguero

There's good arguments for Nasri (form) and Dzeko (height) to play but that team will see us through. Of that, I have no doubt.

Kolarov Pizzaro and Dzeko have to play for me

Re: Your Team vs Stoke

Can't see any particular reason why we wouldn't play with 3 strikers there.

There's no time for tactics anymore, we have to go for it. And we have power to twat Stoke if we start the game with real attitude.

Best on form 11 available, and on tonight's showing that would not include David Silva.

Hopefully one of Lescott or Kompany will be fit.

Barry instead of De Jong.

Three strikers, Aguero, Dzeko, and Balo.

Johnson should consider himself lucky to get a place on the bench imho.

Re: Your Team vs Stoke

Dzeko for Mario and Milner for Silva,otherwise same team unless Komps or Lescott are back,in which case i'd switch Zaba to LB in place of Clichy.

So ideally......

Richards-Lescott-Komps-Zaba
------DJ------Yaya-------
---Aguero-Nasri-Milner---
---------Dzeko------------

What's the infatuation with Milner? He was not on form in his last game. So why not play the last 11 on form. Pizzaro or Barry in Yaya's place, Yaya to Nasri's spot and Nasri to Milner's.
