i think we will flood the midfield, so for me team i would like to see, hopefully if ade can play is

given
richards, onouha, kompany, bridge

swp,barry, de jong, bellamy

tevez

ade

a sort of 4 5 1 formation

................Given
Micah...Nedum...Vince...Gaz

........Tevez.......Bellers
................ADE

Bringing Sweep on for Adebayor or whoever tires to revert to a 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 to see the game out and hit on counter, reckon we have to go for it from the start but keep composure and not give them a second to think.

I am now coming round to the idea that Adebayor may start, but with Tevez running about in midfield.

we will finish the game with 2 right backs and 2 left backs
he will start with three defensive midfielders
tevez and bellamy will start and do all the damage
ade will "occupy" their defence for the last quarter
he will use all three subs

Can someone clarify our list of walking wounded?

I think we are minus the following and I am currently working on my team to fax it to Roberto later

Johnno
Santa Cruz
Bridge
Lescott
Vieira
Toure (?)

Is that it?

I thought Bridge was in full training and it's not inconceiveable that he turns up tonight?

mancini says Toure could make the bench, but hadn't seen him at time of quote
Thought Bridge was back training

I like this formation with Komp as 3rd DM (provided Toure will start). But I would switch Micah adn Ned. Micah is better at RB and Ned is more level headed and composed at CB. Barry will have to give a big hand to Garrido to contain Valencia.
