I think you may be right. In the interests if minimum disruption it would be best to probably make that the only change but I wouldn't be surprised to see Clichy at LB
 
Great to have him back, we miss his communication at the back as much as anything else, please stay fit Vinnie.
 
Would go with

Hart,
Sagna, VK, Otter, Clichy
Fern ,Furn, Delp, Yaya and Martin( as a traditional sweeper)
Bony

A clean sheet, a 1-0 victory and the fans singing "are you the rags in disguise". Maybe Ive had too much Margaret River Shiraz.........
 
Whilst I wish him well of course I am utterly bemused at this persistent and seemingly unfathomable problem. It has dogged him for the last few years and I am beginning to wonder at the interminable disruption this situation is causing. I don't have an answer but it seems that we must look to winning season's title challenge without him and so the remini defenders need to get their **cking act together EVERY game and NOW. We can no longer wait for the return of the messiah :153:
