How long is mangala out for anyone know?

3/4 weeks I think

3/4 weeks I think

Ok cheers get Sagna CB

 

[sam-caddick]

Demichelis might not be having a great season but he has helped keep 3 clean sheets in a row.

I think it's maybe gone under the radar a little but I think his influence on Otamendi is huge, as is Zabaleta's.

Otamendi as a defender relies on communication so having two Argentine's next to him is surely going to help.

The big question for me is does Yaya start because with the Everton game in the mid-week following this game as I am not sure he can start both games. For me he starts one and is an impact sub in the other.

Common theme here. No-ones picked KDB. I know he's been better at home but he always creates something.

Only to give a rest. And it's an away game. Sterling, Navas and Kelechi are fresher and should play.

 

[vmsuhail]

Really want to win this. It's been a long while since we won 2 league games in a row.

 

[cibaman]

Yep good team that.

It is, but incredibly small by modern standards. Hopefully Carroll's still injured?

 

[DJBusinesscake]

The Fab Four combo doesnt seem to work away, id start the same team that won on Saturday.

We are bloody due back to back League wins!!

 

[Ethan23]

I assume Kolarov will miss this one? If so I'd go for...

..........................Hart.....................

Zaba.......Demichiles...Otamendi...Clichy

............Fernandinho....Delph....................

.......Sterling...........Yaya.........Silva............

.........................Aguero..............................

Then bring KDB on after 60 mins for either Yaya or Silva.

 

[shemnel]

same team as Saturday, this wont be an easy away day

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Like we all keep saying, tempo, tempo, tempo.

If we move the ball at pace we win, with that in mind keep Yaya away from the starting 11.

 

[the_game_161]

Rotate a few as we have cup in mind the week after

 

[waspish]

Set pieces from West Ham will be dangerous we will have to be on top form to not concede.

 

[the_game_161]

As always payet will be the danger man

 

[Marvin]

This is going to very difficult. Teams like West Ham can play rubbish one week, and brilliant the next. And we have the League semi-final days later.

 

[TrueBlueMike]

Would love to see us play something like this

Hart
Zab Otamendi Demichelis Clichy
Fernando
Navas Delph/Dinho Silva Sterling
Aguero

We have bundles of talent, we just lack balance.

Delph if Dinho isn't fit but wouldnt be suprised though if Delph keeps his place in the starting XI after solid performance against Palace.

Kev needs a rest. Maybe from the squad completly for a week. Hes not used to this many fixtures when hes normally had his feet up for a winter break.

 

[the_game_161]

West Ham are so up and down their form is so unpredictable

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Hope we play this team
Hart
Zaba Oti Demi Clichy
Fernando Delph
Navas Silva Sterling
Kun

Bench: Willy, Sagna, Ferny, Yaya, Kelechi, KDB + Humphries

 

[Jazzman]

Another win and a clean sheet please. Now would be a perfect time to start a run.

 

[BlueByBlood]

Hope we play this team
Hart
Zaba Oti Demi Clichy
Fernando Delph
Navas Silva Sterling
Kun

Bench: Willy, Sagna, Ferny, Yaya, Kelechi, KDB + Humphries

Yep. That will do for me too.

 

[cibaman]

Hope we play this team
Hart
Zaba Oti Demi Clichy
Fernando Delph
Navas Silva Sterling
Kun

Bench: Willy, Sagna, Ferny, Yaya, Kelechi, KDB + Humphries

Just pray we don't concede any corners.
