Dzeko off? Poor sub by Mancini. He's been great today and we need him as an outlet.

[shawzy]

Im shocked at that sub..Well played Edin.

[Mike J]

silva is fuckign SHOCKING..SHOCKING.

lol you do go a bit OTT sometimes!

[Mike J]

Feel for edin there, daft swap

[Crossie]

another fucked up sub.

Best player on the pitch with Yaya. Thanks Edin, keep that up lad!

[Dameerto]

Time for the midgets to tie them up in knots just before our battering ram in the form of Yaya delivers a killing blow.

[tikatakamcfc]

Tevez for Aguero would have been better substitution.
Now we dont have a target man who could hold the ball up.

[mr_nool]

Hoping for some Silva magic as a thank you to Bob for the vote of confidence.

[phips]

Maybe he wants Tevez and Aguero to be able to exploit Mertesacker's glacial pace instead of having his own glacier in Dzeko on the pitch...no ideas.

[PALUS]

Feel for edin there, daft swap

Fuck it he play good let save this

[carl_feedthegoat]

clichy trying his best to be the worst on the pitch.

[Sideshow Bob]

Our final ball is utter shite.

[blues2win]

I think Mancini fancies Tevez and Kun against their central defenders as they tire late in the match. Fair play to Dzeko who had a good game but managers have to be ruthlessly tactical. Worried about Silva he wasn't great second half of last season either. He's being tightly marked every match and it shows. Is he carrying an injury or has he been sussed?

[Dameerto]

We've set up to counter attack since Arse have to risk it more now if they want anything from the game. Fresh legs will help.

I doubt it's an injury. I just hope he comes back to play as he did in the first half of the season.
