We are definitely missing some energy in the middle, Delph on for Petrov wouldn't be a bad change they aren't really offering much in attack - cept on the counter. He will add some energy and might be able to pick out that final pass.
Carew on for Heskey please, hes not bringing in the midfielders this game and hes not looking a threat on goal at least with Carew we have someone to aim our crosses at
Our midfield was superb, Downing looked class today (think he enjoyed the break) and Young ran at defenders!! best game i've seen from him in a while. Good lead could have so easily been 2 or 3... lets hope that doesn't hurt us
going to bed soon soon hoping nothing happens during the 8 hours i intend on sleeping to stop this game from happening... i'm going 2-1 villa with Gabby and Milner to score
lol its funny u guys talking about it pouring snow causing the game to be called off while right now i have the air con on while its 40degrees outside gotta love Australian weather.
But back to the point how long before the game are matches usually called off before scheduled kick off?
well unless i'm mistaken Petrov hasn't played in any cup games, so i wouldn't be suprised if he wasn't picked as a starter meaning NRC should get to start.
Players like Guzan, NRC and Beye should be starting this game, MON has used the cups as a chance to give Brad sr and Petrov a break and just because we are in a semi i dont think he should stop using his cup team
I could mabye see Cuellar or Warnock being given this game off(our defence wouldn't be weaker )
I'd go
Guzan
Beye - Collins -Dunne -L.Young
Downing - Milner - Petrov - A.Young
Gabby - Heskey
and hopefully Albrington can get a run for Downing at the end
Well apparently it was a foul on Guzan that let them score, sometimes it just happens, but harsh to blame sidwell just because it goes to shit when hes on in a 2 man midfield
"Fab play from Ash Young - what a player. He beats his man before threading the ball through to Big Emile. "
Haven't heard/seen Ash beat his man in a while
