Our best 11 with everyone fit

Zabaleta---Kompany-------Lescott-----Garrido

--------------Viera-----------De Jong-------------

Petrov---------------Tevez--------------Bellamy

---------------------Adebayor---------------------

No SWP, Ireland and Barry? We don't know how good Vieira will be...

They would be my bench, SWP and Ireland havnt shown what we know they are capable of this season.

Barry is an empty shirt, he doesnt do anything productive in most games!!

True, as well as the first statement about SWP and Ireland, however as I said we don't know if Vieira will be any good, so to automatically put him in ahead of Barry seems a bit harsh to me.

------------------Tevez----Adebayor---------------

I think Kompany's done well at CB recently so its a shame he's got injured as I'd like to have seen him get a run with Toure.
I don't think Lescott would be the best going forward but could be the most solid left back we've got defensively. I'd like to see him have a go there.

No Bellamy Walmai? come on, even if things aren't going his way he keeps going unlike Petrov who wouldn't have as much playing time if we didn't have to wrap Bellamy up in cotton wool. I admit I hated him when he wasn't here but he's been terrific. Is he still a bit of a cunt? probably, but everyone hates us anyway so more cunts please if they play like that

Craig?

Yeah, I'd say he's better suited to a 4-3-3 and I think that, whatever the system, if fit and raring to go Adebayor has got to be the centre-forward. Which benches top-scorer Tevez.

I went 442 in the belief that Adebayor would be best served by Petrov's crossing (not SWP's strongest suit).

Bellamy is however still mustard.

Barry plain isnt good enough, i'd say put Vieira there until we find a better option, he cant be any worse.
