time to put yesterday's disappointment behind us.
Big game on Sunday. from what I've seen Arse has been one of the big teams who have looked good both going forward (even tho they failed to score in first two) and for once they've been solid at the back too. Glad there's four full days before the game so we should be able to play whoever we want. Best starting XI, no messing about. Focus only on this match and only after the game we should look at who played and who should then play vs Villa. my line-up would be

[center]Hart
Zabba - Vinnie - Joleon - Clichy
Garcia - Barry
Silva - Yaya - Tevez/Aguero
Dzeko[/center]

Hart

Zabba
Kompany
Lescott
Clichy

Rodwell
Garcia

Silva
Ya Ya
Tevez

Dzeko

I'd be tempted to start with last nights line up again (but switch Aguero with Nasri) ... doubt very much that Mancini will thou as he'll probably switch about 5 or more players. Important win needed in this one whoever gets the nod

Dzeko has to play in my opinion, the lad seems on form and to bench him seems stupid!

My team.

Hart
Zabs
Vincent
Lescott
Clichy
Garcia
Toure
Rodders
Silva
Tevez
Dzeko

Bench
Balo,Aguero,Kolo,Pants,Suarez,Milner,Sinclair.

Why was Milner not on the bench last night? I would start him ahead Nasri on Sun

almost. you didn't have any subs!

Dzeko has had Mertersacker for breakfast on more than one occasion in Germany, so this is the ideal time to play him.

I recon it'll be Tevez & Aguero though & another bizarre, shock, defensive selection, as Bob is mentally unstable when it comes to Arsenal.

Surely this guy has to give the Dzek a chance FFS.

He'll probably drop him and start Mario though... I am starting to wonder...

Dzeko should never have been dropped this season , I do not understand the problem between him and Mancini.

If i'm honest a lot of his decisions baffel me.

Last season he came through so I can accept (even if I didnt agree with a lot of them), I'm not convinced so far this season...

Milner would have protected Macon last night, shame he wasn't on the pitch

True he would have been ideal last night to give that extra bit of cover on Tranny.

O k the problem is u going from side to side to much , hes shite now he should play hes great i told u all before if he has delivery he will score goals but delivery in cross in ball up front not in hes fet with two players at hes back. , hes on form he should play but i have feeling Bob will make us wonder again i expect Tevez Aguero -Balloteli and if we win and we can with any forwrd we can win they are not problem defence and creators of the game are not on the level of last year , i can say nobody will say why Edin did not play .I Hope i m wrong because i follow Edin so long and i know hes on fire score in first two game and he was injured there ,play for Bosnia score 4 one pealty on him assist 3 and one goal against Latvia is masterpiece i think that Latvia defenders are still injured , come two min against Stoke nearly score ,and against Real i can see hes back he just want the ball, and if he has good deliviry he can repet Totenhem he is in that form now but ,we all of us need to step back and see the team we got its fuckin army, we must be more sure in our self and Bob needs to get that.We need to go out and press Arsenal like Msrid press us because we are that much better that much have better bench all in all we must win that game no more defence mastermind shit.

Whoever has signed a long term contract with us has gone shit in form ... Look at Mancini, what is he doing, we don't understand ... Kompany? Need I say anymore? And of course Silva will join them too ... what the hell is going on?

Mario didn't make the squad for Madrid & Bob said it was his plan to bring on Aguero but couldn't due to injury of other players. Therefore, he preferred Dzeko to both Mario & Aguero in the Bernabau.
