Bloody Garcia again, I just dont get this.

[mr_nool]

Cautious approach. Might be a good idea to set Yaya free, so that the Chelsea midfield will get something to think about.

I'm a bit worried with Demichelis having to face Chelsea away in his PL debut.

[Tokyo Blue]

Fuck me, he has got to find a place for Garcia somehow, hasn't he? I hope he has a stormer but sadly I just can't see it. On the other hand maybe he is just the player to allow us to release Yaya further forward

[sheblue]

Yaya further up the pitch it looks although it will be more than likely a three in there

We needed a 5 man midfield. Not a bad idea to play him ahead of a back 4.

Maybe he has learned from the bayern match

I really hope you and the manager are right and I am wrong.

[dick dastardley]

No negredo 8(

[Bleed_Blue]

I would say Garcia in defensive mid is better than at CB, lets just hope he doesnt get card. So much to look forward to, in this fixture.

Negredo as first substitute would be good

Yes cause chelski will have plenty in the middle.

4-3-3 from the Engineer?

[MilnersJaw]

5 man midfield? About time

[sheblue]

4-3-3 from the Engineer?

4 5 1 with yaya pushing forward when he can.

[Dwaring]

I think the engineer might be playing this right. He knows it's a brand new partnership at the back and give them some new cover.

Does jovetic have a knock?

And might has well put big money on lescott being gone in January.

4-3-3 from the Engineer?

These days they're pretty much the same thing, roles are grey areas now and wide players are expected to do more in the defensive phase.

[mr_nool]

No Luiz. That's a bummer!

[phips]

WTF? why is Garcia playing? at least he's not playing CH...


i do like him employing a 5-man midfield though..just wish one em wasnt Garcia.

[s1ty m]

Milner for Garcia is a better option. This is a bit mad, in my opinion. Garcia is a huge liability.

Picking a guy who has never played in the PL and who has been injured over Lescott is just daft.
