-----------Kompany--Lescott-----------
Richards--------------------------Clichy
-------------------Barry------------------
-------------------Yaya-------------------
----Silva------------------------Nasri----
-------------------------Ballotelli---------
-------------Aguero----------------------
Subs:
Johnson
Dzecko
Zabaleta
Kolo
Milner
Kolarov
Suarez (Dennis)
Pretty much the same as Mancini but Yaya appears too much on wing for me for some odd reason and my orders would be to stick to the centre.
That's a 7 man bench in some competitions I think we have a 5 man bench in which drop kolo and Dennis. I've put Dennis in there because he looks to be a bright one and if we lose either Nasri or Silva then he can step. We use Milner when one of them comes off but as much as I like Milner he's not attacking enough for me in the out wide positions.
1st article I've done so I kept it simple. il be waiting for my one star off the infamous bandit.
Your preferred formation/line-up

Swap Milner for Nasri and its a perfect balance

Am not convinced in this day and age that there is such a thing as a prefered line up. There are so many factors to take into account not the least s which is setting up a defence to counter a perceived opposition forward line up and setting up an attack and mid field to take advantage of weakness in an opposition defence.
I know at one stage I used to think that we should put out our strongest team in all games but that just cant happen anymore with the tempo of the prem.
I still think however there is a spine to a team
Hart
Kompany
Yaya
Silva
Aguero
And the rest are what you tinker with in differing situations.

Completely agree that these days there are rare occasions for a preferred 11 however I do think everyone has their favourite 11 players who you would play agaisnt a high quality team.
Yes Lee that is definitely our best spine. Without Yaya I was surprised how slow we were at attacking.

If we were playing United at weekend, I'd go for the OPs team but with Milner in for Nasri.
