Personally I think Bellamy and Tevez down the middle should be enough against most opponents.
You're right in the fact it will be down to RSC to lead the line. Bellamy and Tevez are good/great players but are both 5 foot 4. The one thing I've learnt about premiership football over the last few years is that a team without a targetman upfront to hold the ball up and bring others into play is a team that loses matches as they are under constant pressure.

Win the 1st leg and then get through to Wembley at their ground - brilliant.
I hope they play their best team and then they can have no complaints.
What a semi to look forward to.

We'll sign David Villa and all will be right with the world.

Villa is no giant either though, if the problem is the lack of a proper targetman. There's a couple I'd buy but they are from foreign leagues and thus they aren't proven in the Prem...worth the risk?

January is when RSC sinks or swims. He needs to have the chance and he's made mincemeat of us in the past.
