Interesting that some people are picking fringe players for their line ups. For me we MUST pick our BEST 11. I live in Leeds and cannot possibly and they are bang up for this. They seem to overperform in the cup and have kicked out some of the best in the last few years. Should we be sent out, I'll never live it down and it will be especially galling given its our last realistic chance of silverware this year.
 
Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Nastasic, Kompany, Kolarov, Barry, Toure Yaya, Sinclair, Silva, Tevez, Aguero.
Subs: Wright, Maicon, K.Toure, Rodwell, Javi Garcia, Nasri, Dzeko.
 
I definitely think we need to play a strong 11 for this as they will be well up for it. Other prem teams have taken lower league opposition lightly so far in the FA cup and been knocked out. Plus Leeds knocked out Spurs so they will feel like they can do this.

I would go with if all fit;

---------- Hart ----------
Zaba - Komp - Nasty - Clichy
--------- Rodwell ---------
----- Yaya ----- Silva -----
Aguero ------------- Sinclair
---------- Dzeko ----------

If komps and nasty are still injured bring Kolo and Lescott in for them and if Rodwell is not fit go for Milner as he will give everything.

Options from the bench, Tevez for work rate for Sinclair if he is having no joy and if the game is wrapped up then give Guidetti a run as i heard there was a Pro Am Golf tournament coming up in a few weeks and you never know when you might need him as an option. Also have Lopez and Suarez on the bench to try out if things are looking good. Half a dozen run outs for those guys could give then an edge come next season.

I just want to see 100% effort from all the players, they have had a weeks rest to put the last game behind them and get fired up for this!

Very adequate
 
-----------------------------------Pantilimon--------------------------------------


---Zabaleta------------------Kompany------Nastasic--------------------Clichy------



----------------------------Yaya---------Rodwell-----------------------------------


------------------------------------Silva--------------------------------------------


----Milner---------------------------------------------------------------Sinclair-----

------------------------------------Dzeko----------------------------------------
 
This is a must win game and I hope mancini does not make wholesale changes for the sake of it or by throwing a paddy after last weeks debacle.
In my opinion Hart, Garcia, Nasri and Clichy will be left out of the starting line-up and maybe two of the youngsters will be on the bench.

Remember this is one of Bobbys last chances to save his and the clubs season.

hehe ......

very nicely laid out ...

if only we played with as much 'width' as that !
 
I would play
--------------Hart
Maicon Kompany Lescott Clichy
-----------Yaya Rodwell
-----Milner---Tevez---Silva
-------------Aguero

Pantilimon, Kolarov, Kolo, Garcia, Nasri, Sinclair, Dzeko

Although I think Mancini will play Zabba and Barry (and maybe Nasri)

Anyway, hoping for 3/4 goals and maybe a first for Maicon/Rodwell/Sinclair

I want to see this also. However I believe Hart should play to boost his confidence heading into the Chelsea game.

Give Sinclair a game FFS! Hopefully he can inject some pace and crosses. If not, we have ample substitutes.

Well I hope they have a bit more impact than the ones that came on against Southampton !
 
Wow,playing Leeds in their biggest game for years,and which has also become one of our most important of the season,and some of you want to leave out our current best player and inspiration - Zaba - the mind boggles!

We need 11 warriors on that pitch otherwise we're out.
 
is this one coming? :)

Anyone throwing coins, lighter etc at the away fans please make sure it reaches them and doesn't hit us a few seats away from them.

Thanks.
