Hull away at Saturday lunchtime comes quickly after Barcelona away on a Wednesday night. We can't be playing all our best players 3 times in 6 days. We have to rest them against Wigan.

Those mentioning Watford at home forget we beat Bayern Munich away with essentially a second string team.

One game at a time. Play the strongest team. Get the game won, and be comfortable doing so

What happens if we draw?

Important that we keep winning and keep the momentum going

But Hull away worries me. Not because they are that tough in of themselves, but that going away after a big away Champions League game is very very difficult. When Barca and Athletico Madrid played their 1st leg away games, they both went away from home in the League and lost.

 

[tiptopcheshireblue]

Pantilimon
Richards - Kompany - Lescott - Clichy
Yaya Toure - Javi Garcia
Navas - Jovetic - Milner
Aguero

That would be my team with the exception of Hart in goal.
If Jovetic doesn't make it, play Negredo.

 

[Andouble]

no chance I'd start Aguero this game.

Pants, Richards, Kompany (hesitant about this one too), Dimechelis (will start, banned for midweek), Clichy, Garcia, Milner, Navas, Nasri, Dzeko, Negredo.

Lopes on bench

..................Pantiman...............
Richards MDM Lescott..Clichy
.............Garcia..Rodwell..........
Navas............................Milner
..........Jovetic.......Dzeko..........

If Jovetic isn't fit, then Negredo.


Big guns on the bench, with a couple of youth.

 

[kippaxchris]

I'm sure we'll have a good sing song for Uwe, I really hope Lescott starts ahead of MDM. The COCup Final was another pretty mediocre display

Are you saying Demi was mediocre against Sunderland???? If so then what a load of shite!!! He was one of our best players!

 

[Indian Cityzen]

We already smashed them 5-0 in League Cup earlier.

Let's do it again.

 

[hateutd]

we need the FA Cup,also....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is all that about?? Very funny. Love to know the story behind it.

 

[shemnel]

Strong team, smash them to bits.

Ageuro to get at least 30 mins at the end, he needs some run outs desperately.

 

[King Geedorah]

A draw is as disastrous as a loss for me.

I'd give Fern a rest given he's just come back from injury.

-------------------Pantilimon---------------
Richards--Kompany--Lescott--Kolorov
------------Garcia--Fernandinho--------
Navas-------------Silva-----------Milner---
-------------------Negredo-----------------

Subs: Hart, Demichelis, Kolorov, Yaya, Nasri, Lopes, Aguero.

That should be a strong enough team to beat Wigan whilst resting a few big players (Yaya, Nasri, Aguero).

I don't want us to be over-confident, but Wigan are a Championship team, we shouldn't need to field our strongest team.

I think it's important Lescott starts since he'll be starting against Barcelona. He's not played too often this season, so it will be good for him to get 90 minutes before the Nou Camp.

I also think it's important that Negredo starts and gets a good portion of the game. He hasn't played brilliantly since his shoulder injury and has been rested in the last few weeks. I think it's important for Negredo to get at least an hour of gametime on Saturday - and hopefully a goal.

I think Aguero and Negredo will both start in the Nou Camp so ideally Negredo would start and play for an hour before being replaced by Aguero. That way both are sharp for Barcelona.

 

[Airbags Optional]

One eye on future games for me but we need to make sure we are no complacent, they are in a good run of form under Uwe.

Pants
Clichy
Michah
Lescott
MdM
Garcia
Fern (needs game time swap after 60 with YaYa)
Naves
Milner
Kun (needs game time as per Ferny)
Edin

Subs: Nasri, Lopez, Hart, Vinny, Zabs, Alf, Yaya.

Any news on Nastasic?

Out of all the games we've got coming up it's that Hull away one i'm worried about more than any of the others

If the Trafford underlings can win there so can we..

 

[penalty spot]

Another team that will not just roll over especially under Rosler. And this being their biggest match of the season. They are in good form and have nothing to lose. We need a strong team and to hopefully score first.

 

[ws01]

We can rotate for this one. Goes without saying that we need to be at our absolute best against Barca.

Demichelis
