Just seen a bunch of Millwall fans in the Waldorf now, on their way to Ice Station Zebra. Surprisingly, they seemed decent enough, considering. And it was still in one piece when I left!

Yup, my viewpoint today. Bony has to play. Just need to work out who we're dropping - Delph? Or do we rest KDB? If we're playing Bony, Sterling, Silva, Navas, then I want to see Fernandinho and Delph in midfield. If we're seeing two of Sterling, Silva and Navas, then I want to see Toure in front of the Fernandinho and Delph duo. I'd want Toure to sit there and just lay off passes.

Personally the more I think about it the more I'd want to play Fernandinho & Delph. Stick Navas and Sterling on the wings, tell David to pull the strings and make use of the pace. Sterling and Navas should cut inside, jink around, get the balls into the box, shoot when possible - be unpredictable and make chances for Bony.

Fernandinho also needs a rest imo. Didnt he come of injured recently. Its job done in champs league. Delph has hardly played in comparison so he gets the nod. If Toure is tired I'd play Demichellis in holding mid for 50 minutes. It really is about giving everyone minutes and keeping as many as possible match fit.

You would play MDM in midfield? Jesus fucking Christ. What level did you play football at? Your team predictions are so far off point it's absurd. The game bypassed MDM in central defence the other week, let alone in midfield. If people complain that Toure is a passenger at times, they'd be having heart attacks at the thought of Martin in midfield.

lol

From your earlier post, can you see MP leaving Yaya out though? I can't, even though I agree with you about the team I'd prefer to see.

Nah I can't see him dropping Yaya, which is why I'm finding it harder each week to second guess Manuel. Rightly or wrongly he always throws something into the ring which is hard to predict.

Even harder to guess because we have no game for 9 days after this, first time we've had a midweek break in a good while.
 
Not what i'd like to see but I predict we'll line up something like this today.

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

Sagna Mangala Otamendi Clichy

---------Yaya---- Delph

Navas ------Silva--------- Sterling

--------------Bony


Fernandinho, KDB and Kelechi to come on as subs in that order assuming everything goes to plan and we're winning.
