Next: Blackburn (Home) - FA Cup

[Sideshow Bob]

we are usually rudderless without at least one of silva, nasri or yaya. maybe fernandinho will play a more advanced role?

[walshawblue]

looks like its going to be a full house as there are not many tickets showing up on the O/S

[Hutch's Shoulder]

Mum's the word!

Ah, so Jovotic is not available because he is pregnant. I understand now.

I agree, and see Demi playing in midfield to cover the back four - he looked ok there for a few mins against West Ham.

So Silva also FFS we take real beating at Newcastle . So Milner, Navas , Garcia, Ferna .Hope we do not risk Aguero if he need few more days .But congrats to players for last 9 games big pressure , injury , a bit negative away form and they come on top .

[nottsblue]

Pants
Richards Lescott Demi Kola
Milner Fern Garcia
Lopez Dzeko Navas

Should be a strong enough outfit. If poss give Aguero 15 mins to stretch his legs

Bristol City and Watford playing tonight ... whoever wins comes to Etihad in (next) Fourth Round ... if of course we win tomorrow!

[mcfc1632]

FFS play our absolute strongest team in every position and then sub early when we are 3 ahead .

Do not fuck about - this is the FA Cup!!

[Mase]

Kolarov should be rested for the big game at the weekend. Put the shit in for this match!!

[Goaters 103]

Looks like the prize for winning is a tie with Watford (again).

Over to us tomorrow then.

We should win Blackburn with some players resting for league game .This next month one or two clubs will make some distance from pack.

Mate the same was said for Christmas. No one is pulling away just yet. Gonna be a tight season

In effect, we 'pulled away' in the runup to Christmas.

It's just that we were starting from five places behind. ;)

If we had won those early away games, we would now be well clear. We have played almost every top club at home though, so we now have to take points off most of them away from home if we are to be champions.

Hope we can get a few goals tonight & get Lopes involved. If Blackburn defend as well as they did in the first leg, it won't be easy, but our pitch is big & flat & makes that kind of defending a lot harder to achieve.

The top half cant keep playing the bottom half forever!!

[sheblue]

with the character we showed last sunday, despite getting a good kicking, this squad should be good enough to get positive results away at the the other 'top' teams. Of all the away games left everton away could well be the toughest, and we have more than enough to get something there.

Arsenal have some hard games and Liverpool don't have enough players ,maybe i m wrong but i think it will be at list some gap in next month 5 6 points .I hope we will be at top , we just need to play better away .Still have problems but we taking points now.

Yap that Cardiff game and Aston Vila and point against Chelsea that is 7 points we almost give away by mistake and crap defense.
