Team for today

Hart

Micah
Kompany
KoLo
KoLa

NDJ

Silva
Yaya
Nasri

Aguero
Dzeko

May opt for Barry as DM rather than start with Dzeko. Expecting KoLa because of his height rather than Clichy. VK was touch and go for Chelsea so I expect him to be go today.

I'd go with that team Dawg, as you may well be right regarding Kolarov.

Just found out it's a 5.30ko, can't believe it. I'm off to Belle Vue dogs tonight and i'm setting off at 6. Ah well, i'll just have to tape MOTD and just hope we've won.

I believe Kompany & Lescott are still not fit so I think we'll play
Hart
Zabaleta. Richards Toure Kolorov
De Jong Barry
Milner yaya Nasri
Aguero
Silva clearly needs a rest and I think he'll pick Kolorov purely on height to counter Delaps throw ins

Meeting a few lads in the bleeding wolf pub on the way to stoke,not been in there for years - it was a proper boozer,hope it's not been done up and ruined

I think thats is mancinis team pplf. I just hope he doesnt play AJ instead of Milner... And Silva should get a rest

Poor 1st half, no width.
can only get better! well, it could get worse if Stoke score!!
We need quick passing and movement, it's far to static and narrow, WTF is Yaya doing infront of our back 4 again? doesn't Mancini get it?
Silva isn't really doing much, as I said in a previous post, we should rest him incase Stoke batter him... I should have a hotline to Mancini I tell you!!!!
Silva off for AJ, let him run a them in the box, we might get a pen, Dzeko off for Tevez with 30min to go

Bollox....
can't believe we're losing to these cloggers, Mancini needs to wake up, we aren't going to win the title playing narrow, with Yaya covering our defenders.
Good goal by Crouch tho

mancini has been doing this for so long. too long. no width. stoke have done fuck all this game and are winning.
