Knowing what Pellers knew, who would you pick?

Ok, we didn't know who was injured and how severely before the match on Monday. Knowing that Fernandinho and Garcia weren't available and Rodwell, Milner and Negredo were carrying knocks and far from 100%, who would you have chosen?

Hart
Zabba, Kompany, Lezza, Clichy
Navas, Milner/Rodwell, Silva, Jovetic
Yaya
Dzeko

Personally:

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

Zab.........Vinny..........Lezza....Clichy

........Milner....................Kolorov

....Navas..............Yaya............Silva

........................Negredo................

Like you said, nobody knew about Fernandinho not being fit, but I would definitely have played Clichy at LB, and no way would I have played DeM in MF. I said before the game, Kolorov in LMF may be an option at some point, so maybe have risked Milner. There was another alternative team considering Milner's injury:

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

Boyata.....Vinny..........Lezza....Clichy

........Zaba.......Yaya............Kolorov

....Navas..........................Silva

........................Negredo................

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

Zab......Vince....Lescott.....Clichy

Navas.....Rodwell....Yaya....Kolarov

.............................Silva
..........Jovetic

Hazard against Boyata...no thanks! If Micah was fit, I'd rather have had him at RB with instructions not to dawdle back (same instructions to Silva, Yaya, Kolarov).

I'm not saying we should have parked the bus but a draw would have been decent enough. I think Pellers really wanted to stuff Jose big time and fell flat on his face.

Yeah, all ifs and buts. Chances taken, different game.

TBF, Zaba was as poor defending as anyone else.
