Name your starting eleven!

With all the mystery surrounding what our team will be against Blackburn, I thought it would be good to see who the fans would put on the pitch for the opening game of the league season.

My starting eleven.

Given

Zabaleta Dunne Toure Bridge

Wright-Phillips De Jong Barry Robinho

Ireland

Tevez

I almost went with Bellamy up top because he looked sharp against Celtic, but Tevez looked good when he came on so I went for him. If Tevez isn't fit I would go for Bellamy. I am normally a big fan of two up front but I thought SWP deserves a chance to show his real form before being dropped.

What would your line up be?

  6. I like the look of dropping SWP and playing a second striker. The reason I didn't go for it is because I think SWP will get a chance, looking at that team without him though, maybe he won't.

  9. De Jong has looked good especially along side Barry, brave decision dropping him.

  15. I couldn't care less who starts on Saturday as long as we get off to a flyer. Blackburn will try to grind out a point but haven't got the class to match us. City to win 4-0 no problem!

    Have fun!

  24. there is no way that hughes wont play de jong away from home and i dont think he will go with tevez as he is easing him back in so i would go with...

    given
    richards onouha toure bridge
    de jong barry
    ireland
    swp bellamy
    adebayor

    subs:taylor, zabaleta, dunne, weiss, petrov, robinho, tevez

    dont slate me for not picking robinho just think about it logically if we need him to make an impact we can bring him on.

    my team when everyones fit would be...

    given
    richards, onouha, toure, bridge
    kompany/de jong, barry
    ireland
    tevez, swp/robinho
    adebayor/ rsc

    onouha to right back and lescott in alongside toure if he signs

    any thoughts...
