No other option imo mate, at least not until Hoilett is fit. I don't rate Zamora as highly as some on here so I'm not too bothered tbh.

You going Tuesday?

Yeah I'll be there Tuesday and Saturday. Delighted I wasn't yesterday, sounded shocking.
I can't imagine us starting with two strikers against City, expect another 'can we pinch a goal, but at least get a point' performance, which will only be tolerable to me if it succeeds. But we have to really go for it against the yellow and green flying vermin.
 
I have to say I don't think Granero was 'fine' at all yesterday. He had an ok first half. Second half he started behaving like a spoilt little 12 year old girl, he had hands on hips and started screaming at Faurlin when HE lost the ball!

However, I do think he is capable of far better and he has shown us that on a few occasions particularly Chelsea away. Having been at the West Ham game where we could not do anything with the ball in the midfield and constantly lost possesion, Granero could well be a solid addition and I would suggest partnering him alongside Derry.

However without Adel and Remy against Citeh 3 points is an impossibility.
 
Having given it more thought, I wouldn't be adverse to Granero playing in a central 3 with Derry and Mbia. SWP on the right and Tarrabt on the left. I'd want Taarabt central against the lesser sides though. Granero just doesn't convince me at all.

Worth a go, maybe not against City though.

Ok....the cup is gone. It was hard to hide my anger at today's performance but, onwards and upwards eh?

What's your team for Tues? Here's mine, assuming all are fit besides Hoilett:

---------------------Cesar--------------------
Onouha---------Nelsen-----Hill----------Traore
---------------Derry------Mbia----------------
Mackie-------------Taarabt---------------SWP
------------------Remy-----------------------

By the way....Remy signed my lad's shirt today, so there was at least one positive for him from the day!

Agree with Soops about Fabio for Traore, but otherwise would go for that line-up. I don't think Harry has any other real option for now.
 
Im pretty sure we wont see that formation.


-----------Cesar

Onuoha---Hill--Nelsen---Fabio

-----------Derry
------Mbia----Granero
Mackie----------------Taarabt

----------Remy

sub Traore and Bothroyd for Taarabt and Remy cant make it.

Yeah....I amended my thoughts to a 3 man central midfield. I'd play SWP instead of Mackie though, he's really struggling imo. Also, if Remy and Taarabt don't play, we may as well give them the points.

Where did you hear that?

It's in the interview i posted on page one of this thread.
I think SWP will still play, they'll just pump him with anesthetic. It's just some shards of bone floating around, he's probably been carrying the injury for a while.
