Team Tonight?

After his comments in the press conference, it looks like Yaya will sit deep (ffs!)....but I don't see why he has to. Would like to have seen Micah at RB and Zab alongside Yaya...but can't see it happening, and also, he was 'biggin' up DeM, so guess he'll play instead of Lezza.

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

Zab.......Vinny..........DeM.........Kolorov

..............Milner............Yaya.............

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

...............Negredo...Dzeko...............

That's the team I reckon will start. Need to really bounce back tonight after two poor results.


Gutted I'm going to miss it tonight as I'm out the Reds True BBQ opening. I'm sure the endless amount of meat will help me get over my misery.

What about:

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

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

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

.......................Silva

.......Negredo.............Dzeko

However, i do think DeM will start instead of Jolean. Clichy's in to combat Johnsons pace if he goes over that side of the pitch.

I think it's going to end up looking like this:

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

Zab.....Vince....DeM....Kolarov

................Yaya

Navas........Milner.......Silva

.....Negredo.......Jovetic

Although I think your team looks much better, Shaken.

Is Micah fit? We could play him at RB and push Zab into the holding role, potentially.

Yeah, that team would do it Shaken, but who'd baby sit Yaya? Kolorov would be like some giddy kid.....

I think Lescott should definitely start...but for some reason, can see MP sticking with DeM....god knows why!

Can Rodwell not play infront of the back 4....or is he still being classed as injured?

listening to pellegrini's press conference he said he would be playing yaya as the def mid, because there is no ferna or Garcia. that means he obviously doesn't think Rodwell is up to it just like he says Micah is no centre half.

CMF = Jack Rodwell.

He's either still injured, but bet he's on the bench...or MP just can't trust him.....but can trust DeM!!! 

I've just had a thought. I think we're going to be absolutely fine tonight, and here's why.

My car has just spent a week in the garage being repaired. During that time, I've had a small courtesy car with a weedy engine. And while I've had that car, we've played Chelsea and Norwich, scored one lousy point and no goals.

I picked up my car this morning, in all it's shiny blue glory. So we'll be good

Is this it Leo?

I wish!
