Curious
Which strength, pace and energy boxes does Yaya & Demi tick?

Why are you suggestig Navas on the left?

MDM is a no option due to Mangala being banned and VK not being fit
Yaya has the strength and power (but not in a midfield 2) and always has a good game against Stoke. His aerial presence defending set pieces will be needed. That is unless we play Bony (no thanks).
Navas` pace will be important both going forward and tracking back. He offers more to the "team" than most fans believe. And I`d put him on the right, my error.

Not being funny, but when was the last time you saw Yaya leap and head the ball?

From set pieces defensively he does, offensively obviously not as we don`t play that game.
We shouldn`t be fooled by the new Stoke style with their new flair players. They reverted to type against Chelsea and bullied them with their old style football, and set piece balls into the box. My worry would be if Willy played and his weakness with high balls into the box.
 
Would love to see Silva appointed captain in Vinny and Zabba's absence - he has the full respect of the whole organisation.
 
What the injury situation? Fernando , hart, zabba, navas?
