Jelavic or Anichebe vs Wigan?

Jelavic to start in my opinion.

Cometh the hour cometh the man.

Come on Nikica its your time to shine.

Steve Watson lads.

Failing that I'd start Jelavic.

I thought we played well 442, and Wigan will match us if we don't take the game to them.

When? We played 4-4-2 against Wigan last time we met and they tore us apart on the counter time and time again, its only when we changed back to 4-5-1 we actually got in the ascendency in terms of game play.
4-4-2 against Wigan and I reckon we lose this game. 4-5-1 and any selection will be sufficient to see them off imo.
Also Anichebe for me but won't be upset if Jelavic plays.

Mate, I know exactly what you mean, but to suggest that a striker doesn't start because of how he defends is mental.

About 5 minutes agao I would have said Victor. But I've just got this idea that Jela is going to break his duck on Saturday. I get feelings like this and they are almost always wrong though so I wouldn't take it to the bank or anything

If victor is match fit then he's got to start. Can't believe so many have suggested jelavic, he's been our worst player for months.

Start Jelavic, bring Vic on if and when needed. Ive got a good feeling Jelavic is gonna be the one to send us to Wembley.

FIFA/FM time! Anichebe gets the start. Mirallas and Pienaar swap sides throughout. It worked nice last week when they were allowed to swap and drift central with the fullbacks providing width. If Wigan are winning the midfield, Fellaini or Osman drop next to Gibson.

-------------Howard---------------
--------Heitinga---Distin-----------
Coleman------Gibson---------Baines
---------Fellaini-----Osman--------
Mirallas------Anichebe-------Pienaar

Wigan pack the midfield playing 4-4-2 would be suicidal IMO.

Jelavic for me...only just mind and mainly because vic is an excellent impact sub which could come in very handy in a game like this.
