Dzeko starts, Aguero and Silva out

Hart
Zabba, Kompany, Nasty, Clichy
Milner, Yaya, Barry, Nasri
Tevez, Dzeko

Aguero on the bench isn't he?
With Nasri seemingly getting the chance and not doing to shabilly, there's no reason to rush Silva back and risk him being out for the final.

Famous last words, but our team is well good enough if they want it.

Nasri and Dzeko played last year and were rather good. Even Mario played and set up a goal I think.

So far so good, should be atleast 2 up with the chances we've had. Dzeko should have scored with that chance, just needs a goal and the memories of last year will come floding back!
Apparently Silva was ready to play but twisted his ankle!!

Milne off- tight hamstring.. Kolarov on... yikes!!!

left home just after nasri scored, returned just after defoe scored.

Kompany always has a mistake in him...

Should have been out of sight before they scored!

Think we can tell we're playin with a cup final in mind.

I've only seen the 2nd half and it's been total shite......thouroughly outplayed by a team that wants it 10 times more. Got exactly what we deserve.

Sinclair on for Dzeko at 3-1......what is the fucking point. Why do we not make substitutions when we need to and not just to give someone a 10 minute run out. Now Lescott on after 91 minutes.......honestly, i fuckin give up.

This is my major frustration with Bobby, he does it every time! Two shite performances and both involved Kolarov! He is nowhere near good enough

Anyway I said earlier in the week, this was the onerous lose as I can't stand Wenger and so want them to miss out this year.

*One to lose

sadly with Kolarov Dzeko Sinclair etc we are stuck with them till the end of the season. so no point worrying about them, as chances are with a fully fit squad all they will be are bench warmers then gone.

Liverpool did us a favour, so nothing really lost, still comfortably 2nd and the cup final to come.

If Bobby is here next season I really hope there is a serious clearout, my only worry is he doesn't seem to be learning? I can't remember when he has made a good tactical substitution? Can anybody? Even AVB got his changes right today. As soon as Adebayor went off they looked dangerous. We bring on Kolarov, Sinclair and Lescott as a striker! I mean WTF is that?

Spurs are only 7 points behind us. That should be enough of a gap but you never know...

Lescott was brought on in the 90th minute I really don't think throwing a big man up in the penalty are for the last 3 mins was a tactical disaster. It did sum it up though when you have a look at our options on the bench. I f Aguero was not fit he should not have been on the bench if their was a shred of doubt in the minds of the management then in my mind Guidetti should have got the nod. I can understand Sinclair substitution to try & get behind the defense & throw in a few crosses for Dzeko, Kolarov was the baffling one for me especially as we had Garcia on the bench.

Sinclair came on for Dzeko though oz

Correct - baffling substitution. Sinclair is a winger who puts the ball into the box, so who do we replace him with? Our only player who has the potential to head the ball on the pitch off!
