If the match was on Wednesday night I'd agree with you but I'm not convinced having played 80 minutes this afternoon that Mancini will start him on Tuesday.

I certainly agree that he still looks slightly behind the 8 ball and needs a good run of games to get his spark back.

AJ, DeJong, possibly Barry should be ok as they've not played too much. Could play half a game each with Hargreaves & Razak. Kolarov & Zabba should be fresh. Savic & Kolo should play & hopefully it won't be against arsenal's 1st team strikers, or we're fucked. Kolo got a few mins today & even in that short time, managed to give Andy Carrol a free header.

Aguero to me, looks like he's been carrying something for weeks. I don't think he's been 100% since very early in his City career. I recon we'll see a lot more from him if we get him fully fit so I wouldn't play him at all midweek. We need him & Dzeko fit as we don't know what Balotelli will do as the season goes on.

We will get a reward of possibly a two game semi final v the rags if we win. That will give them the opportunity to kick fucking lumps out of our best players & even out the title odds if we take it seriously.

Aguero hasn't been the same player since the groin injury that forced him off at Ewood Park. Since then he has had a few niggly injuries and doesn't look to have fully recovered. He seems a bit off the pace at the moment and his decision making has been questionable. Considering he has started 3 games in the last week I would leave him on the bench on Tuesday

It can also give us the opportunity to beat them again! I'd love to see us win another trophy, we've got a big enough squad, especially now that were 80% out the CL imo.

I think our squad is about to be tested. We have no backup in central defence & now that Balo has proved he still has it in him to fuck up at any point, we only have two reliable strikers, one of whom seems to be carrying an injury & the other is brilliant one game & dogshite the next. Balo is a bonus card; the Joker.

If we're going to win the Prem, we have to put everything into it & just takewhat comes in the other competitions imo. Don't risk anything that could cause us even the slightest worry in the league.

I completely see where you're coming from but I'd Love to play United and put them out the competition and get another trophy whilst we're at it. I love derbies and two more would be amazing.
