The Battle of Wounded Knee Part II

Ok, so my title isn't accurate for all involved, but you get my point. It's another day, another game. That seems to be the pattern at the moment. It was interesting to see Mowbray on the telly this morning pointing out that West Brom are struggling to get a team out, with up to twelve first teamers missing for tonight's game. I sympathise, Tony, but not too much. We can see each one of your injuries and raise you, though I doubt that our struggle to win the league compares to their battle for survival in their eyes.

We go into the game with the possibility of breaking the clean sheet match record, which would be extended to eleven games. Normally West Brom would be the ideal club to have a game like this against but the injuries once again make team selection difficult. Everton at the weekend will be a tough game, though they may have the Merseyside derby next week in mind, so we'd be looking to keep key players for that fixture, but can we? There's talk that Ronaldo may be held back for that match, with Nani and Tosic starting tonight. That would suit me just fine. I'd also keep at least one of Tevez or Berbatov on the bench with Saturday's match in mind, and if the choice was mine that would be Tevez. His industry would be more helpful against a tough Everton back four if he was totally fresh and raring to go.

Anyone of you nice readers have a pair of tickets for the Carling Cup Final going spare?

Nah...?

Thought not.
