Comparing January fixtures...

The January playing schedule is tough for all clubs. Our strength in depth is better than anybody else's so no worries there and most of our games are at so even less to worry about.

I agree with you on this one, but our January schedule is the hardest.

Liverpool
United
Liverpool
 
I love having all the top games. There was a time not too long ago when very few of our games were the biggest game of the day. Now we are involved in huge games all the time, it seems nearly every week.
 
the biggest worry aabout jan is Yaya going to ACON at some point.

We should be able to rotate our squad as good if not better than the others.

rest a few against sunderland and wigan.

Rags virtually have to play rooney in every game otherwise they don't have much going forward with chico out.

Dippers midfield will now be reliant on key players week in week out with lucas out.

Spuds are the worry at the moment - playing well and have a reasonable run of games coming up

It's great from our point of view. The atmosphere is going to be top notch at some of the games in January. The only worry is that something may have to give.

The league is our priority so Mancini will not rest players in the league for CC or FA Cup. Therefore we are likely to play a "weakened" side against Liverpool or the Rags and if we have a bad day then we may be saying goodbye to the chance of a domestic treble.

For me, I'd rather march on in the league, do the Rags and if something has to give I suppose I'd sacrifice the league cup.
 
The problem lies in the difficulty of our fixtures.

For me the only fixture that we can rest a few in is Wigan - all the others are top sides with the exception of Sunderland but O'Neill will have them chomping at the bit for a few weeks
