It's ridiculous the papers that say "LOST MONDAY AND YOU'RE OUT!"

BUT.

I think yes if we do lose both games and have no trophy and finish 15-20 points adrift yes he will be gone. But that's for the thousand page thread.

I must be on my own as Silva, Kompany, Aguero and Yaya would be on the bench for me on Monday. Win, lose or draw will have no effect on our season. Losing any of them to suspension or injury for the Chelsea game will have an effect.

Hart

Zabaleta (or Richards/Maicon if fit enough)
Kolo
Lescott
Clichy

Garcia
Barry

Milner
Tevez
Nasri

Dzeko

Subs - Pantilimon, Kompany, Nastastic, Yaya, Silva, Aguero, Sinclair.

Garcia and Barry would get over-run in my opinion. Southampton pressed them to death. They are too slow to form a partnership in midfield.

For one game we can cope.

With an injured Silva and a suspended Yaya? No thanks. Barry and Garcia are international players that a dozen teams in the league would want to have, they aren't two young kids or lads out of the crowd.

We could lose with Yaya and Silva playing, or we could win and then win against Chelsea but after Tevez in 2011 i don't want to risk that chance and i don't think Mancini will either.

Draw. 2-2.

Zabaleta - Kompany - Nastasic - Clichy
Milner - Toure - Barry - Silva
Aguero - Tevez

Not sure Yaya is suspended nor he is on 9 yellows. If I am wrong I apologise.

I really want Yaya in an advanced role but I think this is our best team, and Milner must start against fergies wingers/whingers.

Winnable game.
