Big game for Garcia methinks.

Mancini will play Garcia but I'd go ...

............. Hart
Zaba Vinny Nasty Clichy
............ Barry
......Milner Tevez Silva
........Balotelli Dzeko

Forget battling for the center of the pitch. Bamboozle them by only playing one DM. Go for it and if we lose we lose.

Arsenal have a pretty tough 10 days fr Sunday as they play 4 games in 10 days, our game, FA Cup replay and two London derby's.


13/01‎-16:00
Arsenal v Manchester City

16/01‎-19:45
Arsenal v Swansea City

20/01‎-13:30
Chelsea v Arsenal

23/01‎-19:45
Arsenal v West Ham United

Arsenal have to beat Swansea otherwise their fans will go insane as its another trophy-less season, and I can see them seeing the Chelsea game more important than our game as its more of a fight for the 4th position.

If we lose and United win it's curtains for us in my opinion, 10 points is too much, I cannot see Ferguson letting United slip like last year.

Pretty Standard up to a certain Mr Suarez, what makes you think he is ready for such a high profile debut? This is an honest question, the fact you chose him has really intrigued me as I don't think he'll be ready for at least a couple years.


I think because of our injuries we are really limited to what kind of team we can deploy against Arsenal, I don't expect any surprises personally.

 

[stimo]

fearing the worst for this, may be a bit of a mauling.

big games for garcia and balo if they play

 

[citytill1die84]

Szczesny

Sagna Mertesacker Vermarlen Gibbs

Walcott Wilshire Ramsey Arteta Carzola

Podolski

Think Arsenal will line up like this a 5 man midfield with either Walcott or Cazola helping Podolski.

Hart

Zaba Kompany Lescott Clichy

Milner garcia Barry

Silva

Tevez Dzeko

If Milner,Garcia & Barry can win the Midfield battle between Ramsey,Wilshere and Arteta we've a very good chance of winning this. Still think it'll be hard and I struggle to see us get more than a draw but out of them 2 team line ups i'd rather ours.

Probably the fact he hasn't had an ability transplant this past few days.

No way on earth that RM would start with Suarez for a game of such importance. It will definitely be Garcia or, if he feels in an attacking mood, then Sinclair. Also, Dzeko will probably start.

 

[AgüeroKun]

Milner MUST start as Central midfielder.

Doubt it. We'll either lose greatly or win marginally. Gotta hope Liverpool beat the rags.
