Robinho.
This is obviously the formaion we should stick with as both matches under Mancini have started 4-4-2 and when they change to 4-3-3 we start scoring and defending better.
I would be tempted to take a risk and start Robinho against the scum, especially in s Semi final, as I think that he would come alive in big matches like this, but it would be a big risk in playing him.
Robinho must be a bit pissed off, all these players injured and its Garrido getting match time!
To give credit to him though, he did come on last night and set up the icing on the cake goal...
