Well if I forgot about Frimpong maybe the FA will too? I guess it will have to be one of the new kids starting for the first team against Man Utd at Old Trafford. Nobody can say we don't give youngsters a chance. Who's going to replace Arshavin after 60 mins? We've reached rock-bottom if we're expecting him to go the whole 90.

Coquellin or whatever the fuck he's called is back, so he might play
I dont why, but I keep having this niggling feeling that Campbell will get his work permit and be a surprise addition on the bench on sunday.
He'll come on with 20 mins to go and put 2 past De gay to win us the match.

How to win this one tactically? It's just so difficult. They look a little stretched in defence, let's be honest. However, our attacking options looked blunt in our last two EPL games. As a result, I can't see us scoring any goals up there and I can't see any realistic scenario in which we could win.
If they decide to play the aerial game against us (which, surprisingly, they haven't recently) then we don't stand a chance with our defence.

I hope you're right, I really do.
I'm still dreading this, we'll have a patched-up defence, an unbalanced attack with no Gervinho and our only experienced player in midfield will be a guy who's played 20 games in 3 years. We might pull something spectacular off and get a draw but with the mancs in good form, Webb with the whistle and our team barely hanging together, I can't see it.
