gotta be one or the other for me and i'd plump for Merlin. He looks raring to go.

does anyone know how many tickets we've sold for this?

I'd go with both. Either drop a striker or drop Milner/Navas.

Not so much a long ball game but can see West Ham playing for set pieces as they seem quite good at them and we're less so defending them!
I'd like to see Negredo play as he seems more combative in the box than Dzeko but I'm sure Edin won't just be confined to bench and COCup appearances in the next few weeks as many would hope!
Would like to see Milner get a game also. After his great performance nullifying Baines, he could do a similar job on Morrison or Nolan if asked and help Micah if he starts.

451 away from home.

Control the game. Get the game won.

Concentration on set pieces will be absolutely vital.

1-3 city.

Only read a few comments and from what i can gather, people think this will be easy. Everyone (including me) said the same against Villa and it turned into a very embarrassing defeat after leading twice.

Think Silva and Milner should start and our strikers should be Negredo and Aguero. Morrison is their best player and Nolan is always a handful but hopefully Milner and/or Fern should keep them at bay.

Want to be optimistic in this one so i'm going for 2-1 to us, won't be an easy game but hopefully we'll edge a win. If we don't win this then it has to be back to the drawing board for away games.

Hopefully not another "bad away day" - been too many of them already this season. Our current away form is a real cause for concern and if the "new Pelle" doesn't sort this out sharpish, I can see him following RM out the door pdq!

Then you have read the wrong few comments. Very few here think it would be easy. Second, "Villa was easy!" We dominated play, controlled the game, and scored 2 goals on the road. It was a freak accident we lost. If you control play the way we did in that game you'd win 8 of every 10 games and tie 1.
That said, Nasri, Silva, Yaya, Milner, Dihno, Aguero. Front 6. Only 1 striker needed. Sub him at 65, bring in Negredo, Sub SIlva at 70, bring in Jovetic, Sub Milner at 80 bring in Navas.

Time to win games by playing the best team. Not the best players.
