Mmmmmm Gibbo on the bench.

gibson injured or on bench ?

Osman will be starting until he's 47. He better not get walked all over like I'm picturing in my head.

Glad Kev's playing though.

Osman and Macca vs Toure and Fernandinho is a little scary.

Got a bad feeling Martinez is never going to drop Osman.

Dave how you feeling on this one? I think if Baines and Coleman carry on playing like wingers we might come undone slighty with navas.

I'll go 1-2

I think if we get a foothold and dont concede early on we can get something.

I have a feeling there'll be an audacious move today by Martinez. I wouldn't rule out Kone playing a part. Maybe out wide left where he popped up for Wigan a lot.

Think he'd be starting instead of Naismith anyway.

Osman will always start. We all know it.

Thank God the triumvirate is in place.

Best team we could stick out giving the injuries, unavailability of Barry, glad to see he's not gambled on a half fit gibbo, or raw delefou, best using both as a way of changing the game

Shibbywiggles · October 5, 2013

Lads, we currently have Pienaar injured, Barry unavailable, Gibson not match fit and Deulofeu too raw. Having Osman in our starting line up today is not the worst thing in the world! If everyone was fit and available I still think he'd be our fourth choice CM and I think Roberto thinks that too!
