Silva defo on 4 booking heard it mentioned after Arsenal game.

Everton Home Booked
West Ham away Booked
Newcastle away (Carling Cup it counts) Booked
Arsenal Home booked

Should have really got himself booked at Leicester. Silva may not take part then which will be a blow but I'd rather have him for Liverpool.

if he's playing trequartarista (no 10) pelle should just tell him not to stick his leg in.
 
Without our leading goal scorer by some way and our two leading goal assists for 6-8 weeks are huge holes to fill for sure.

In saying that Fulham have dropped 17 points from a possible 24 at home and provided we maintain the form and level of intensity in our past few matches we should be ok.

7 wins and a draw going into this game even without 2 of our most important players should give the players the confidence to get the three points.
 
What is Silva even doing to get booked?

If he's on his best behavior I'm sure he'll avoid a booking.

I tell yer it's got to be 4-4-2 with Dzeko and Negrado up top supported by David and Sammi.

We have to play the game upfield and attack!

Why wouldn't we?

Because Navas, Nasri and Silva are all individually better players than Dzeko and Negredo.

We'd be sacrificing quality to play an awkward formation which doesn't suit our squad.

Exactly. Just because he's togged out doesn't mean he has to get booked. Not playing him, for fear he'll be suspended, is a stupid policy, at this stage of the competition.

Then again, if Squadron Leader Scotty's hair gets tossed, there will be tears before bedtime for somebody.

Personally I'd like to see Kolarov or Negredo deal with that wannabe hardman if any haircare issues arise.

He's probably our dirtiest player, he loves leaving his foot in or hacking at ankles.

He's pretty much mastered the blatant tactical foul.
 
I was probably more gutted to see Zabaleta getting injured rather than Aguerro. We are unlucky to see the ones injured that are not replaceble. Than again, X-mas fixtures to me is all about grinting out results one way or the other to keep in touch with the other teams who, like us, have their own problems. Hardly any team comes through the fixtures unscatched. The players need to forget about the beautiful game for a minute (the pitch at Craven Cottahe is not suited for that anyway), and deal with the game in the professional way shown at Leicester. I expect 3 points tomorrow, just.
 
0-3 Negredo, yaya and Nasri.

Not easy by any means and they will have a spell however we are too strong for them, If they happen to score again no issues as long as it is not teh only goal and in the 93rd min.

Got to win.
 
Just arrived with my wife in London. Today a little bit shopping, tomorrow Fulham against City whilst my Missus continues shopping. Sunday eve back to Germany. Glory times. Only thinks I need is an answer of the supporters service where I can pick up my ticket. Ordered two weeks ago, but the ticket did not arrive in time. Same problem for West Ham a few weeks ago. But that time the service worked much quicker. By the way...3-1 City tomorrow;-)
 
Bit of a shitty situation. Milner will have to go RB on mine, really don't want to kill our attacking dynamic by playing Clichy RB and Kolarov LB.

-----------------Negredo
-----------Nasri--Silva--Navas
---------------Yaya--Dinho
Clichy--Demichelis--Komps--Milner
--------------------Hart

Is how I'm lining up the side. Good enough to beat Fulham.
 
I still think that THIS formation will destroy Fullham. After 60 min change Jovetic for Kolarov and Navas for SIlva. At Liverpool game i would also play 4/5/1 the only changes would be Negredo for Dzeko and Navas for Kolarov ( of course Navas on right side and Nasri left, Silva in the middle ). The only other possible change would be Pantilimon for Hart if deserved.

Get there early enough and you can find (free) street parking in the area just after the Hammersmith Apollo. Can be a bit of a log jam getting away.

Kolarov---Kompany----Lescott---Clichy
-----------Yaya-----Fernandinho----------
Navas-----------Silva-----------Nasri
---------------Negredo--------------
