Line up v Napoli

[tchumatu]

Did anyone else catch Bob say in the press conference on the OS that Balo has been 'disqualified' for the next few games? Is this from injury, the daft backheel, or just a bad translation?

Balotelli is suspended for 3 games due to the red card against Kiev in last season's Europa League.

AJ & Balotelli are good potential game changers to come from the bench against a tiring oppo if needed.

Ahh right, his pathetic red card v Kiev. Forgot about that (& that Hargreaves isn't in the squad).

It looks like Barry and Milner won't make it, so how about bringing in Zabba alongside Yaya?


-------------Zab--------Yaya----------------

Silva-----------Agüero---------------Nasri

-----------------Dzeko

I'm curious to see what our midfield looks like tonight and who is paired with Yaya.
De Jong is out, Barry has an ankle injury, and Milner apparently has a concussion following his clash on Saturday.
Hargreaves isnt in the champs lg. squad.


--------------back 5----------------
----------------Yaya---------------
-------DS--------SN--------Aguero
---------- Tevez------ Dzeko-----

could we see this? or will he throw on Zabba in midfield?
I dont think AJ will get a spot in the XI following his poor performance last weekend.

should be interesting.
