For some reason I'm quietly confident.

im worried about our full backs

by **Plymouth Gooner** » Sun Dec 18, 2011 12:20 pm

Verm at LB and Kos/Mert at CB are fine. Djourou at RB is my only concern.

by **Dejan** » Sun Dec 18, 2011 12:21 pm

Mert vs Aguero/Ballotelli is my concern.

Mertesacker is due a good game, what better time to prove his worth?! :sneaky:

Ofcoure that won't happen tomorrow, but i'm quite optimistic despite the fact that we could easily lose 4-1.

Considering we were down to 10 men 5 mins into the game I find it hard to believe we could play a formation needing 10 outfield players and a keeper.

Hes probably talking about the bore draw when your £500m team put 11 men behind the ball and refused to go past your half way line?

agreed, all he's offered is aggression (often too much)
Coquelin showed just as much aggression, and quality too
IMO, he's the far better player

DJ is obviously the weakest link in this lineup and Mancini will exploit it from the first whistle.. I hope Nasri doesn't have the game of his life against us.

SUBS: Rosicky, Almunia, Arshavin, Frimpong, Chamakh, Benayoun, Miquel
