I just do not like Milner, but he can play till 60 and then Tevez can come in. Also if Dzeko do not score till 60 substitute him for Balo. If Zaba is not fit Tevez can also come in after 60.
Otherwise everything is OK.
Just guys I do not know what a hell is wrong with Yaya? He is not that same old Yaya as it was before African nation’s cup. What Zambians do to him? He is nervous, nervous, nervous....
I think we will win 0:3 (Dzeko, Nasri and Aguero).

He's better at getting the ball behind tight defences than Clichy. Stoke won't be over ambitious against us and Kolarov's ideal to put the ball in to the box over and over and over again.

I disagree.
I think you underestimate their home form and tactics.They will bombard us with long/high balls as well as use every trick available to gain advantage around our box,including the award of throw ins.....

Kolarov would be a liability against such pressure.

Too many don't see that.<br /><br />-- Fri Mar 23, 2012 7:58 am --<br /><br />I kow my line up is unpopular.
...............Hart............
Zaba...Micah...Kompany....Clichy
............Pizza.......Barry..............
....Aguero.....Yaya.......Nasri.........
..................Dzeko.......................
Panti, Kolo, Kola, Milner, De Jong, Balo, Tevez
 
We need to approach the game the same as we did when we played them at home.

Control the possession and force them into errors.
Stoke have had two tough games in the last week so their approach will be interesting. I think we will win by a two goal margin.
 
---------------Hart---------
Zabaleta-Richards--Kompany-Kolarov
----------Barry---Milner--------
------Yaya--------------Nasri----
--------------Aguero-------------
--------------Dzeko--------------

Bench: Panti, Toure, De Jong, Pizarro, Silva, Mario, Tevez

Dzeko double
2v0

Tevez to play 30 minutes<br /><br />-- Fri Mar 23, 2012 2:07 pm --<br /><br />

stick Silva in at Left back and we have a deal
 
The diagonal ball will cause us havoc in this game, can't trust kolarov positionally to at least be anywhere near the player when it gets thrown in, clichy though small is great at anticipating this kind of ball, has to start- key will be pressing them back down the flanks early on so here's hoping vinny is fit and Micah and clichy can pin them back - also going for a stormer from nacho silva libre, he won't of liked seeing someone taking his mantle on Wednesday :

Kompany won't play tomorrow so again the back two will be Kolo and Micah with Zaba on the right.
 
If NDJ is playing, he would provide adequate cover for Kolarov as his defending isn't half as good as his crosses.

cheers mate any idea what the escorts will start?
 
------------Hart--------------
-Rich----Kompany-----Kolarov-

--Milner----Yaya------Barry---
-----------Nasri-------------

--Kun ----Dzeko----Tevez----
 
Now that we know Kompany and Lescott are out, it will be tough to win this. Kolo against the Stoke forwards is bad news.

We are really going to have to pounce early. Go into the second half with no goals and it will be a long day.

Mancini will have to pull a magic trick to deal with this.

Think it may be more like this. Silva/Aguero/Tevez to come on if needed.
