Ramires has always struggled against Yaya. Luiz was the one who matched him physically - even before Matic arrived.

one more reason for him to hold position and not move forward too much... we need both Rami and Matic more fixed today...

I like the lineup as I said a few minutes ago, but I didn't develop further because I was choking on my drool from laughing my arse off at United... but now I'm somewhat recovered, I'll try to talk properly, lol.

I think Ramires and Matic should hold position a lot in this match and I DON'T want/expect them to bomb forward much. Make the transition through Willian and Fabregas and let them get the ball moving to the attack.

It's absolutely necessary - regardless of how good or bad Toure is now (I believe players like him crave big matches like this, so I expect a lot of improvement by him compared to their previous matches this season), that we protect our defense against their two strikers and smart playmaker. So I do hope they follow the instructions I have no doubt Mourinho gave them to think about defending first - and mostly - and let the attackers (including Fab as one of them here) do the transition and set up our attack.

If Rami or Matic venture too much to the attack I think we're screwed.

Yup, spot on. If Rami and Matic aren't positionally disciplined then we'll concede.

I'm also a little worried about City playing two strikers, they've caused our CBs a lot of trouble in the past where one drops deep and the other runs behind which seems to really fuck with Terry and Cahill. If the CBs go with the strikers they must not get turned, however I'm pretty sure they will so again Matic must be there to cover.
