Team for the rags

Assuming everyone is fit, who would you pick?

Zabba or Micah, remembering they are up against Ashley Young or Nani?

NDJ and Barry or just one DM?

Nasri or Yaya?

Here's my shot at who Bobby will pick:

Hart
Zabba. VK, Lezza, Clichy
NDJ, Barry
Silva, Yaya, Tevez
Aguero

It may surprise you guys, but I'd have Nasri starting instead of Yaya, but Bobby will defo pick Yaya.

............Little Joe

Micah....Vince....Lescott...Clichy

...........NDJ......Barry

Sliva..........Yaya...........Tevez

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

That's how i'd start but i reckon he'll start with the same team as today, apart from Micah being in for Zab.

I love Zab for his effort and consistency but i reckon Micha has better strength and pace to deal with young. I agree with NDJ and Barry filling the slot in front of the back four to deal with Scholes and the granny shagger and the front line up.

He are supposed to have all players back, including, Mario...

Anyway I'd go for (after a cheeky quick copy and paste job);

............Little Joe

Micah....Vince....Lescott...Clichy

...........NDJ......Barry

Sliva..........Tevez...........Nasri

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

However, I expect Yaya will start in the place of Nige - if so, that is the biggest problem I have with that starting eleven. We looked a lot more assured when Nige came on against Wolves the other day, Yaya is just not as good in the DM role, and will not press their CMs or help out pressing their wide players as much as Nige would.

Leaving him on the bench and bringing him on with half an hour to go would be ideal - he could power through the middle of the park and be the catalyst for a flurry of goals again as he was vs Norwich.

I agree with Shaken...this will be his starting 11......except I'd replace Sliva with Silva.

The only problem I have with starting Tevez on the wing (although he won't really be playing as a winger) is that we don't want him being enclosed to that area of the pitch, having to help out the fullbacks - we want him all over the place like he has been recently, oparating in that role you have Yaya in behind Aguero.

But then again I'd rather Yaya were in that role behind Aguero than playing instead of De Jong! Tricky one really, if only we were allowed 12 men on the pitch.

The good thing is that no matter how we start, we do have options on the bench.
