Balotelli will be definitely starting. I think we should go with Tevez along side him to start. Try and get out of the gate at a million miles an hour, finish what chances we make, take Tevez off when he literally can't contribute any more. Say what you like about the lad, but he'll give 100% in that final until he literally can't give any more. Balo caused plenty of problems for Camel and Vidic, as he can do with just about any body. Between them they should be pulling the defence apart for some Silva through balls.
I don't see the point of not starting Tevez. If he comes on at 60 minutes but can't last out the game, or worse, extra time, we're fucked. If we bring him on at the start at least we know what we're dealing with and can sub him for Dzeko.
