Blackburn V City FA Cup Pre Match Thread

[mancity111]

City: Pantilimon, Boyata, Lescott, Nastasic, Clichy, Garcia, Fernandinho, Milner, Silva, Negredo, Dzeko.

Would have played with one extra midfielder ie Yaya and started with Dzeko ( his cups record is first class ) but other than that its a decent starting lineup.

Really would have liked to see Lopes, hope he can be subbed on early in 2nd.

Strong team that.

Call me a miserable old sod but the only thing that gets me excited about that team is Silva... And that's mostly hoping Blackburn take the high road and don't kick the ever-living stuffing out of him.

Miserable old sod :-D

Good, good, bluemoon still has it as it only took a minute.

I was sure the Hugh Laurie wit had left this place. ;-)

It's important to have enough strength in the line up to give a youngster or two a chance when things are in check assuming we have a couple on the bench.

Shame for Lopes, really should have started instead of Negredo/Dzeko.
