I agree with Marvin, a draw would not be that bad, Blackburns home form is not bad, at all

 

[MCFC BOB]

I feel a 2-0 win for Blackburn coming here. Roberto should stick with the same team, as history has shown that if you change a winning team, it causes problems more often than not. But he'll go with this:

Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, Milner, Yaya Touré, De Jong, Silva, Dzeko, Wright-Phillips.

Wright-Phillips and Dzeko will be the players that let us down upfront, and Silva won't know what to do, as a player devoid of skill stands in front of him wanting the ball at his head (Dzeko). Silva - a player who enjoys patient football on the floor - will see Dzeko, play it into his feet, and the attack will break down.

The occasion isn't what it was last week at Wembley, and the players will struggle to find motivation where we got it last week. Let's be honest, we won that game at Wembley because we got a confidence boost as Mancini pushed the team forward. From then on in, it was only going to be ours. But against Blackburn - a team that haven't won a game in 2011 - I fear complacency will coincide with a bad turn of fortune. But here's hoping the total opposite happens.

Do you ever watch us? You're leaving De Jong on the bench, and you're starting Tevez even though he's been ruled out for a month.

How many goals were from his head there? 0

Don't blame Dzeko because the midfield is incapable of slipping a single ball through, Ray Wilkins even mentioned it in the game against Liverpool.

Congratulations Dzekson96, yours must go down as the worst "first post" ever. Don't you have a newspaper or computer in your neck of the woods?
