I seriously think we should be looking at making a signing of two.

Zabba has been utter shite. > Ned has only played once (?) all season and is not fully fit.

We are relying on SWP and Ireland. Ireland was total wank before he got injured so I dont think its fair to expect much from him. They are both half fit.

We dont seem to have anyone else to come in so were back to square one. Every player is dropping in form. Ade is another one i wont be expecting much from when hes back. I think our key guy was santa as hes looked the most promising recently up front and now we've lost him!

With everyone 100% fit I'd still say we are lacking in midfield because petrov, robinho and ireland have all been poor.

4-3-3

Given
Richards, Onuoha, Kompany, Garrido
Zabaleta, de Jong, Barry: (Ireland could come in for one of these)
SWP, Tevez, Bellamy

Can drop into a 5 man midfield when they have the ball.
Options to bring on Petrov and Benjani to change to 4-4-2, or Robson to "open them up".
Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

that's probably what I would go with

Right back/centre back is the only question mark I have with that. Onuoha has been shakey when he's been employed thus far this season but I think I'd be inclined to lean towards your selection and avoid what feels like the rather inevitable hauling down of Shrek by Zabaleta

I think 4-3-3 is certainly the way to go here though
