looking forward to this. Down from Edinburgh with wife, daughter and grandaughter (7) - its her first game! Hoping for a great performance and a resounding win. Dont really mind who plays as our squad is now so strong but would like to see Mangala and Sagna's debut and more than a cameo from Sergio.
Good if it stays dry as we are 'down the front' and have only just recovered from the drenching we got at Wembley. Predict 5 - 0 win.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Your sauces are slow on that one....... ;)

There's no question, he can really dish out the high tackles.

I'm trying to ketchup on all the Dzeko news I can

Skrtel really doesn't cut the mustard, however Dzeko is mint!

tartar for now!

 

[remember arthur mann]

Will Edin and Kun be fit ?

A lot of people talking about the International break, about resting players etc. I think we have to keep the momentum up so injuries aside would make the only significant change of Mangala instead of Demichelis. Think it is a good game to start him, get used to the speed of the league at home next to Vinny and I'm not sure he will feature much for France either. Gives us the dilemma (hopefully) of who to play at Arsenal and Chelsea if he plays well.

Hart, Kolarov, Mangala, Kompany, Sagna, Fernando, Fernandinho, Sila, Yaya, Nasri, Jovetic.

Continue to ease Aguero back. Fernando won't play in the Internationals so he has to play. Nasri too. Depending how we get on would make changes to the attack/midfield quite early with Navas, Milner and even Lampard if needs be to close the game out. 3 wins from 3 would be excellent and if we can get through the Internationals without injury it would put us in a great position with tough league and now CL fixtures to come! Here we go again!

I think Jovetic has to play to keep the momentum, same with Fernando. Look what happened in the season we won the league when Dzeko was banging goals in for fun, we took him out for the Wigan game (i think) and the goals started to dry up.

I would play...

Hart, Sagna, Kolarov, Mangala, Kompany, Fernando, Fernandinho, Silva, Navas, Jovetic, Aguero.


--------------------------------------------------Hart-----------------------------------------------------------------------

------Sagna---------------------Kompany-------------------Mangala-----------------Kolarov------------------

------------------------------------Fernando-----------------Fernandinho------------------------------------------

---------Navas-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Silva--------------

----------------------------------------------------Jovetic------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------Aguero---------------------------------------------------------

Give Yaya & Nasri a rest and also ease Mangala in on a home game against a not so good opposition.

I'd be disappointed if Milner doesn't get a run out in this one. Maybe rest Silva or Nasri?
