Let's hope the whole team put in a decent performance today.

Silva got booted all over the place in this fixture last year. Not surprised he isn't starting.

Subs- Wright, Kolarov, K Toure, Barry, Rodwell, Silva, Dzeko

Starting Mario in this type of game is nothing short of a shambles. Playing with 10 men before we kick a ball

Stupid post.

Why?? Could do with Dzeko's height rather than Mario's petulance

I really dont agree. Dezko's first touch is so bad, that in game where we will have the lion share of posession we need strong players with superior first touch.

Clichy & Sinclair down the left has potential to be alarmingly rapid :)

 

[SebastianBlue]

I think we'll see Maicon's wing dominance, Javi's creativity and steel, Yaya's bombing runs, Sinclair's finished products, and Tevez's usual terrier work and finishing.

Plenty of width, you would think a big lad like dzeko would play for that reason v stoke's big boys! Hope Mario won't go missing!
