Ahead of the super sunday clash between the Manchester clubs at the Etihad this is my combined IV to while away the time. And I must say it wasn’t that difficult considering some players are still playing catch-up as the season progresses.
Formation 4-2-3-1
Goalkeeper:
David De Gea - The spaniard has shaken off an awkward start to become 1 of the best keepers in the BPL. He was the reason United kept Chelsea at bay for that long before Van Persie's equalizer. That save from Hazard's shot was an incredible use of body to narrow the space for Hazard.
Defenders:
Kompany - This is easy. He will easily walk into any defence in the world and be a starter. Such is the influence of the Belgian that City has always looked vulnerable without him to lead the team out. He's the complete defender combining strength with pace and agility. He's kept Diego Costa at bay this season, up next is Van Persie.
Demichelis - He was terrible last season and I think he found the solution in getting rid of his ponytail to cut down time at the salon to train and its paid off this season. He's kept Mangala on the bench and keeps the likes of Phil Jones and Smalling from this squad.
Zabaleta - The businessman. Thats what he is. He does his job without fuss. The Argentine would have been the captain of his club if Kompany wasn't so damn good at his job. Luke Shaw was under consideration but he's only had 1 good game all season against Chelsea.
Sagna - His switch from Arsenal to City has been as smooth as he could have wished slotting straight into the team. He's one the players who can guarantee you an 8/10 performance in every game.
Midfielders:
Yaya Toure - Another easy choice. The ivorian powerhouse has been a little under it this season not really hitting the heights of last season yet but then who's there to knock him out of this team. Rojo has been good this season but its easier to spot in a united team that is not really up there in terms of performance.
Fernando - This was harder. I was tempted to go with flair in the middle and pick Herrera but this team has much of that upfront so I go with tha brazilian hardman. He's so strong in tackles and hardly pick bookings. He's efficient.
Angel Di Maria - His price tag would have got him in there anyway. For United its; if u have the ball give it to Di Maria and problem solved. If you don't have it go for it and give it to him and problem solved. That is how much the team depends on him now.
David Silva - Smooth as silk. Classy. Beautiful on the eyes. The brain to Yaya Toure's brawn. He orchestrates all of City's attack and his absence will be a massive loss to them.
Rooney - United's captain is the current highest scorer in the Manchester derby. His presence on sunday will be a massive boost to the team. He plays just off the striker where he's currently more effective.
Striker:
Aguero - Leading goalscorer in the league and highest league scorer for City. Very difficult to play against. He's fast, he's trickery and he scores. On his good day United are in big trouble.
The big match is tomorrow. A draw will be a massive favour to Chelsea
