The FA CUP Sixth Round - 9/10 March *** Spoilers ***

[Bucket]

Chico is a given, his record against Chelsea is pretty good.

The only surprise for me is Rooney being missing from the squad again..

Shame that the knock for Rafael was obviously more than just a knock too .

Nani/Valencia really have to step up and be the senior players in the attack today, really hoping Nani catches some form and plays well. Without Rooney or RvP and the relatively young Hernandez/Welbeck they need to be leading the team.

 

[Bucket]

Chelsea starting XI: Cech, Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Luiz, Cole, Mikel, Ramires, Hazard, Mata, Oscar, Ba.

 

[Rameses]

Why no Rooney, has anything been said?

Phil McNulty Rooney exclusion is because of a groin injury picked up on England duty. #bbcfootball

Probably just eaten too many easter eggs!

 

[Tom84]

Well when City win the cup maybe that'll keep Mancini in a job and give us an easy job of retaining the league next season #everycloud

welbeck, 2 goals in 35 apps? i'm still in bits from last night but did i read that right?

Rvp should have been subbed last match. He's looked tired and lethargic as it is.

welbeck, 2 goals in 35 apps? i'm still in bits from last night but did i read that right?

How's many does Adebayor have this season?

 

[Robbo]

Not feeling overly confident looking at that team... (Jones + Smalling, No Rooney/RvP).

 

[Bucket]

How's many does Adebayor have this season?

2 in the league, 4 overall.

And he's actually being playing as a striker, unlike Welbeck.

 

[The Running Man]

Fergies gone OTT on ensuring we win the league at the cost of everything else.

Egg-zactly

Fergies gone OTT on ensuring we win the league at the cost of everything else.

He's put out the strongest side, considering RvP has barely scored lately too and has been average for a number of weeks.

adebayor is appauling. we have a cb with a better return than welbeck.

 

[The Running Man]

But he's been playing rvp to death in the league, the cl etc when maybe he should have tested him.

 

[Azza]

Expected Fergie to start Giggs!

He's played as a striker twice in the league this season, you know.

 

[No1newts]

Sure that pundit was trying to get a rise out of Keane there

 

[Tom84]

Expected Fergie to start Giggs!

Aye I did to, not unhappy at Carrick & Cleverley though (can't keep trying to rely on Giggs in the big games)

 

[Clearly]

Adrian Chiles is such an insufferable nob..
