What will our starting XI be for the derby?

[Bellamy's Caddy]

I know we've got all week but this is the way I think we'll line up....

-------------Given-------------
Onouha---Toure--Kompany---Bridge (if not fit Zaba)
-----------De Jong------------
--------Vieira------Barry------
-------Tevez------Bellamy----
-----------Adebayor----------

I would like to see a change at left back and other than that keep it the same as it has been, but just think he'll put an extra man in midfield and want to use Vieira's experience. Who do you think will start?

 

[Grand Master Ram Rod]

Same as today but Bridge in for Garrido. If Bridge is still struggling then Zab.

 

[sam the drummer]

----------Tevez----
Tevez--Tevez--Tevez--Tevez
-Tevez-----Tevez-----Tevez
-----Tevez------Tevez---
----------Tevez-----------

He'll be right up for it and all over the fucking place!

 

[allyboy]

same as B/ham, go for the win.

Garrido/Zab the only posible change.

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

----------Tevez----
Tevez--Tevez--Tevez--Tevez
-Tevez-----Tevez-----Tevez
-----Tevez------Tevez---
----------Tevez-----------

He'll be right up for it and all over the fucking place!

Haha, true mate, he's going to be so up for it!

---------------Given---------------

Onuoha---Toure---Kompany---Bridge

Bellamy---De Jong---Barry---Johnson

--------Adebayor-----Tevez--------

We'll need Bellamy's work ethic on the right to help Onouha counter Evra's attacking threat along with which other winger Baconface uses on the left.

I'm going with this although Tevez has proved he can operate alone well and we could pack the midfield out and counter attack. But then we have that problem in the 1st leg of the carling cup when we didnt pressure them and they passed it around for 20+ minutes

 

[Blue Coop]

Given,

Onouha, Toure, Kompany, Bridge

De Jong, Barry,

Johnson, Tevez, Bellamy

Adebayor

Same again, Tevez to come deep into the the attacing midfield role like he has been doing much more of recently. We have scored 11 games in our last 2, full of confidence, we have the players to match United, why start changing it. We can play with no pressure thanks to some good results, enjoy ourselves and really give united a game.<br /><br />-- Mon Apr 12, 2010 1:13 am --<br /><br />Looks like we all seem to agree. Sorted.

Except the OP, would you not sooner Zab in the middle than Vieira, esp against United.

Adebayor - Tevez
Bellamy - De Jong - Zabaletta - Johnson
Barry - Toure - Kompany - Onouha
Given

balance is key. Vieira Garrido SWP RSC on the bench.
