a 2-0 win will be ok
 
For a team thats lying 10th in the Championship they should'nt cause US too many problems, no matter what team we put out.

No fucking way I'd be playing Kompany and Silva. Not worth the risk.
We don't have much choice. I'd rather our best team tomorrow rather than Wednesday.

If he's going to prioritise he will surely prioritise west ham, as we are one win from the final, and we can make the second leg a dead rubber.

Surely this makes the most sense!

We could if we play a full strength side next Wednesday be out of sight by the 2nd leg and have the luxury of resting players again in the 2nd leg.

I would consider playing silva though as he got his rest on Wednesday and will be the man who will lead us to the win tomorrow.

Rest Yaya. Kompany, Hart, Zab, Fernandinho, Negredo Navas and Nasri.

I'd give silva an hour too. He makes an ordinary side a winning side
 
Going away to a decent Championship side is not easy, and we can't afford to rest more than 3-4 players. Especially as a draw would lead to a replay which we really don't want

Unlike Chelsea and Arsenal we don't have top quality midfield alternatives
 
Now that Rodwell is injured again I would give each Yaya and Fernandinho one half, Pellegrini did that once already in the League Cup and it paid out. Also as the above poster said, play Silva as he can really make the difference in these tough away fixtures. I'm quite sure Pelle will start him after he was suspended against Swansea.
 
Bit off topic but serius, we NEED another good central midfielder!! Now that Rodwell is lost again Im starting to give up hope on his career.. :( And then it leaves us with only with the terrible Javi Garcia as a back up for Fernandinho and Yaya, im getting very frustrated over this. Everyone talk about maybe another Central Defender or another creative winger, but what we really need is another Central Midfielder... If Ferna or Yaya get Injured for a long time this season will be over. Cant belive media and experts not talking more about this instead of focus on our central defence... Anyone with me on this one?
