from Stuart Brennan on twitter ...

Savic doing special warm-up with coach Fausto Salsano, focussed on heading, chesting, defending on edge of box


Makes me even more nervous that he needs refresher training 30 mins before a game ...

I know that is a bit of a joke but really, it is good management to help him focus to settle the nerves.

I think it will be. 4-1 win with Balo scoring a brace and Yaya and Richards rounding it off (and if you've seen my predictions before you'll know I usually predict 1-0, 2-0).

Swansea are doing a Hull style collapse now, expect a nervous Swansea.

to prove, last 10 games:

P10 W4 D3 L3 GS: 14 GC: 13 GD: +1 Pts: 15.

Very relevant posts about the lack of recent PL goals imo. For me, the key is putting away our chances. Lack of Vinny and Lescot obviously a big deal but we'll still create chances - we must just make sure we take (more of) them!

But they can't be nervous they won't be getting relegated.

Their home record against top sides is pretty good this season. Beat Arsenal, drew with Spurs, drew with Chelsea, lost 1-0 to United but missed an open net (Sinclair, one of the misses of the season). They lost their most recent home game to Norwich though, so another of those game-raising teams at home?

well the last six games they have 7 points, relegation form.

I fancy Balotelli to play well today. Very wasteful last week.

Absolutely spot on. Putting chances away is key. Even Mancini has alluded to that in recent post match interviews. We could have killed a lot more games off early doors if chances had been taken. I have every confidence that this team will always create a multitde of chances in games, its converting them that will win a premiership crown (or not).
