If we're leading, might bring on gareth for adam, to provide midfield muscle. If losing, push yaya forwards or bring on emmanuel. Main concern is if losing, can't bring adam on for impact. I'd prefer james and david wide, with carlos behind mario, but that's what happens if you get sent off.

This game has got 0-0 written all over it, though I suspect that Lesley will be dying to show the City fans who've braved the cold and travelled to the big smoke exactly what they're missing. I think he'll go all out for the throat and then relish pissing on our twitching dying corpse. That's why I've gone for our best defence with DJ sitting just in front to protect the back four.
I'd drop Yaya (fake an injury story) and play Milner and Barry in the middle with either/or getting forward to support the attack whilst the other stays back to protect the back four with De Jong.
The attacking trio of Johnson, Silver and Tevez should be enough to pick Fulham off at the back but should that fail, we've got Kolarov on the field to blast a shot from anywhere in the Fulham half of the pitch.

I'd go for that team but with Richards in for Boateng for the same reason; our best defence. I'd be tempetd to go for Zabba over Kolarov but Kolarov has looked confident so I'd take the gamble he gells with the back 4 under pressure. Bob will probably pick Yaya instead of Johnson or Milner or Silva & he could be right because he's big, to defend set pieces & he's quick (when he can be arsed) to hit on the break. It's swings & roundabouts but we need fast counter attacks. I'd prefer AJ but who knows?
Fulham may have a bit more ambition under Hughes but this is still mainly Woy's team at the moment & they were strong in the air. Imo it's more about attitude than personnel; have the balls to get forward quickly in decent numbers when we get the ball, as v WBA rather than stroll forward as v Brum (another reason to play Kolarov who really tried to do that). Otherwise, if we sit back & don't scare them enough, they'll get confident, press us back into our box & do us from a set piece/ header or 2nd ball from either.
