Lets hope we are all jumping the gun here, because Bellamy being out would be a huge blow, after his comments over the weekend I am hopeful that it's not as bad as the rumor would suggest.

I would like to see us play Petrov left with robbie playing in the free role as a second deep seated striker, throw a midfield in there of Kompany, Zabaleta, Ireland or SWP in front of Ned, Micah, Dunnie and Bridge and I think we'd still have enough to come away from Germany with at least a draw.
This is of course dependant on the validity of reports that Petrov is now chomping at the bit and wanted to play against Arsenal (clearly cant due to lack of match time but a couple of reserve games and maybe a behind closed doors session can sort that for him)
All ifs buts and maybe's but while a little disappointed Bellamy is out Im not as concerned as some others that we could have or after tonight may well lose. Here's hoping everyone else comes through ok.
