Team for City

May as well while some 10/10 performances are fresh in our minds.

De Gea
Rafael - Smalling - Rojo - Shaw
Blind - Carrick
Mata - Rooney - di Maria
RvP

Tough one. I wouldn't throw Carrick straight back in for this game. Januzaj and Herrera should start imo

Clichy had a nightmare on Saturday so would definitely play Januzaj.

DDG

Rafael - Jones - Rojo - Shaw

Blind - Herrera

Januzaj - Rooney - Di Maria

Falcao

Time to see if Mata can be an effective substitute

Shame Mata & Falcao haven't shined in the few weeks Rooney's been away tbh.

Can't see Carrick starting with 60 minutes reserves under his belt.

Can't believe I'm writing this...Fellaini should start

Dave
Rafael
Jones
Rojo
Shaw

Herrera
Fellaini
Blind

Di Maria
Rooney
RVP

Falcao on for who ever is playing shittest after 60 minutes

Fellaini will deservedly start to combat the power of Yaya Toure. Based on fitness, there's a big decision to be made on whether Smalling stays in or Jones comes back, too.

Will be interesting to see who gets dropped for Rooney. Will we drop Mata and keep Januzaj and Di Maria on the flanks, or will we drop Januzaj and push Di Maria into central midfield? We could also drop both Januzaj and Mata and play a front three of Rooney, Van Persie and Falcao.

Van Gaal and Giggs got it pretty much right against Chelsea, so I'm fully confident they'll pick the right team for City. Great to have a manager who can excite you with potential team selections. It's so refreshing compared to the dire turd Moyes and Fergie served up over the last few years.

Fellaini to kick £#%&! out of Toure, biggest shithouse in the league

possibly the same team, in the same shape

there's an imblance with no right foot wide right but as long as januzaj works like he did yesterday i'm confident rafael can do some damage running past him anyway, so...

would be tempted to get smalling the £#%&! out of there while he's ahead obviously

valencia - carrick - blind

Go on, what's the reason for not picking Shaw...

you'll need to up your game significantly if you expect me to listen

Fellaini + 10 others
