Happy with that bar the enforced inclusions of Hooiveld and Fox (Not slating them, just not ideal), would have liked to see Lallana in for Punch from the start as he has been poor the last few games but hopefully he can prove me wrong!
Not much different from the side at the Etihad. That was 3-2. We weren't as good then and now we're on our own patch. Lets be positive and whatever happens, happens.
Javi Garcia at CB is the lifeline, he's played there before and is no mug, but him and Lescott won't exactly be a tried and tested partnership. Hopefully he'll be more of a Carrick and less of a Mascherano.
Very true. I'm holding out hope.....but would be delighted with a draw. Other results good for us so far.
Garcia is very good in the air, I think our better chance will be from runners getting behind him or him losing people in the box and general communication and organisation issues. But Rickie could give Michael Jordon problems in the air so I'm sure he'll still give him plenty to think about, but I think Garcia will hold his own.
Who is the young kid in the training photos? he is wearing no.8 but I can not believe Davis is looking so young now
Not great for a team that's 2nd in the League. Milner could definitely give them extra energy and such though.
We're on a bit of a freeroll here. Lose, and at most one team will have gained ground on us. No pressure!
