4-4-2 today anyone?

So long as Yaya isn't in a midfield two then yes. We are gonna have 70% possession anyway.

Injuries coming atthe wrong time :( 2 fit striker and 1 of those is badly out of form (like most of the squad)

Hart

Zaba Demichelis Mangala Kolarov

Fernando

Silva Fernandinho Yaya Nasri

Aguero

That's what I'd now go with. Clichy being injured is a blow especially as Kolarov never protects Mangala :( Still we've enough to beat West Ham.

Not bad, you managed to pick a team with 8 fit players!

Now he appears to be on borrowed time he might actually have the balls to drop Yaya







and pigs might fly

Yup, I think that has to be the starting line up, given our injury list. Otherwise I wouldn't select Ya Ya for love nor money

In a game where West Ham will cede possession, the thought of Fernando being the man to pick the ball out from defend and play as a pivot genuinely frightens me.

a) Because he is guaranteed to get caught in possession more times than he passes forward to a city shirt.

b) Yaya will inevitably just have to drop in and do the job anyway, because Fernando is such a diabolically bad playmaking midfielder.

Then Fernando will just hang around like a spare part, until we replace him with someone more attacking when we need a goal.

Hope the talk of Angelino being in the squad is true, would improve my sentiments about the season somewhat if these last few games saw some of the young players get a run out at appropriate times. West Ham don't really have anything left to play for so this should just be a formality for us, shouldn't it?
