[deano ou812]

Will be a close game could go either way 2.1,if we score first I feel we will see them off,on a side note was kompany injured when they beat us at home this season?

If we win on Sunday, we will also beat them at Anfield. And if we lose on Sunday we will get nothing in the league game. Therefore we must play and strongest team with no selections based upon promises. Sport is about confidence, ability, and attitude.

 

[Viridian]

So our fullback of the season doesn't make it into the team for the cup final?

It's our strongest position at the back in terms of having two good options. Might as well play Zaba in the final and Sagna at Anfield.

 

[Chi-town blues]

I'm gonna say it but we know they will make a fast start but will we be set up to cope,no

no

Hope tonight takes something out of their legs. They are playing te exact type of game we really struggle against

 

[malg]

Never, ever confident against this shower.

Clichy isn't perfect but is by far the superior left back out of the two.


He isn't at all. Kolarov is poor but Clichy is also poor

they are that bad , that they have helped us to 2 league titles , and a couple of cup victories , YCNFMIU

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

Weve got the better players. We should win. Match them for desire and we win

Yes. That day had Demichellis, Kolorov and Mangala in it and frankly it was a shambles. Even Sagna had an off day.

Liverpool also have a lot of injury problems and players coming back. It's a completely different game. If we can by pass their workers and keep Coutinho quiet it's ours for the taking for me.

As long as he remembers that day and keeps Kolorov on the bench, we will be a lot better.

Im sorry but Kolarov is utterly dreadful, not quite sure how he hasn't left after all these years. Clichy isn't perfect but is by far the superior left back out of the two.

Caballero is just a poor keeper, he shouldn't be anywhere near the starting eleven.

Thought we finally had a bit of balance in the side last side night don't see why Pellegrini would want to change it, same team for me.

My thoughts entirely. Joe is undoubtedly the more assured and in-form keeper at the moment. There is no place for sentimentality in a cup final. Kolarov has been extremely lucky that there hasn't been a real strong challenger for his position - I feel this is the only reason he has remained in the squad so long.
