Siggurdsson sitting in the 3rd spot on my bench

Kompany likely won't play, McClean ahead of him coming in for Young

need one more injury to get him in, eugghhhhh

FatRat

53 points with 5 left to play! Class!

FutureGuy

52 with RVP, Bale, Skertl and Enrique to play. Roll on tomorrow night.

Jax Teller

I was sure City and Chelsea was on tonight

Dempsey

33 points with 5 players left to play including RVP(c) & Sigurdsson to come in for A.Young.

keano_afc

45 points so far from 5 players. Rooney as captain let me down a wee bit, cant believe he had only one assist in a 5-0 win. Still have Josh, Enrique, McClean, Bale, Silva and RvP to play. Hoping for a decent score.

Cantona's Collars

49 with 5 to play,results I want now are a Spurs 3-1 win with Bale getting 2 & an assist,RVP to score once,Silva hat trick in a 4-3 loss;),McLean brace for Sunderland & Liverpool to draw 0-0.

Easier to give ya the winning lotto ticket! :pac:

51 with 4 to play. But those 4 are BAE, Bale, Silva, and RVP... so I won't be gaining much more ground since most will have at least 3 of those.

Simpson and Taylor are both waiting with 6 points a piece should anyone not play.

You'd be surprised. Alot of people seem to have dropped one of Bale/Silva to get in a United midfielder.

A big week from Bale would be great, preferably with Adebayor not playing I've Siggy sitting on the bench to come in with 16 if he doesn't.

Need Bale, McClean, Silva or the Yak not to play to get Siggy on as first sub - little chance though. Bit sickening when others getting him on as 3rd sub.

Sickening alright but I wouldn't let it get to you too much. Seansea beating Fulham 3-0 was a freak result, nobody could have expected it.

I was expecting a low scoring game and that's why I left Siggy on the bench. I expect him to stay there now because Ade will be fit by tomorrow so I'm at least happy that Valencia, who for some reason I stuck into my starting eleven on Friday evening, matched Siggy.

If I'd of played Siggy, I'd of had Valencia on the bench so I've not really lost or gained anything. I would of been alot more annoyed had Valencia got a ten minute cameo (although there's still every chance Ade could do it).

I'm not having a go but dude... its 'have'. Three times in one line is enough to make a grammar nazi's head asplode

Mr Moon

Also, it wasn't a freak result, Swansea are a fantastic team and well organised! A 3-0 away win to a stop start Fulham team didn't shock me.

Still need one of Bale/Silva/Suarez/VP or McClean not to play so Siggy will come in. Would rather Suaraez or McClean cause my opponent in the cup here has the others and Siggy as his first sub

If it wasnt a freak result, why did you have Sigurdsson on the bench?

Of course you're not...

yet this is the first time I've seen you correct someone's grammar on this forum, despite there being far worse grammatical errors than those highlighted above.

As I've said previously, this is an informal, internet messaging board, I'm not going to spend time re-reading and editing my posts when the point I made was clearly legible. I'd imagine you aren't either because I'm not quite sure what to "aspolde" is.

Now, enough of the pedantics please. I've better things to waste my time on.

I had to drop someone and he was my away player this week, bad management by me really.

Swansea can beat anyone on their day. I didn't have Sig (I do now), but if I did I'm sure I would have benched him, Fulham are generally strong at home, they just got their tactics wrong on Saturday and paid for it

They can but they're no Barcelona either. They've also lost to Blackburn and Norwich twice. I think what you said is right though - get your tactics wrong against them, like Fulham did, and you're in trouble.

Clearly defined in the highly reputable Urban Dictionary

Asplode

v. to self-combust or become structurally compromised in a most likely spontaneous manner

Example: Lemlin's grammar makes my head asplode

Yep. Fulham underestimated them. You can't foretell these things. They should have started with Murphy and dropped Dembele/Ruiz. Also Hughes should have played instead of Senderos, who to be honest can be a bit of a disaster. I should have phoned Martin

Alot of people had Siggy on bench because it was the right move this week in a lot of cases. I have no regrets about having him as first sub as I felt that the rest of my midfield had better fixtures. Fulham are strong at home and Swansea have failed to score away from home in plenty of matches.

At this stage of the season, I have no qualms about having points stuck on the bench if I feel that the move was the correct one for that particular gameweek. As rotation kicks in, I need to make sure that my subs are contributing to the cause instead of scoring 1-2 points.

My rivals have the likes of Tiote as their subs. That suits me fine tbh.

Hindsight is an exact science tbh,

Swansea werent known for their away form and Fulham have a strong home record this season. Also Sigurdsson isnt known for being a consistent points scorer, its pretty much hit or miss with him. Like most, you backed what seemed logical.

Just checking, for every 10+ GW he's had, I had him on the bench. Twice I was lucky enough to have him come off the bench and the other GW, formation rules meant he was pushed to 3rd sub. I think I started him every time he's had a 2-3 point week. Seems that I should be backing him when I think he'll do nothing of note.

Jimmy Iovine

Great news. Lescott seems like he's going to miss out on the Chelsea game according to Mancini. Sigurdsson will now come into my team.

Beautiful, I have Caulker coming in... Do you have a source?

All I need now is Silva or RVP getting injured in the warm up and my bench will finally start contributing something

Heard it from the horses mouth, he definitely said Lescott is out. Also said Kompany is a 'major doubt'.

There's suggestions that he's playing mind games and both will play though, there were rumors that Lescott was back training so who knows.

kennyb3

Please please Martin O'Neill give James McClean a rest to prevent burnout

FatRat

More great news is that the Blackburn/Bolton game might well still go ahead this weekend.

Brekingnews confirms this:

http://www.breakingnews.ie/sport/soccer/tevez-set-for-bench-role-544185.html

City have central defensive problems with Joleon Lescott (groin) out and Vincent Kompany (calf) very doubtful but right-back Pablo Zabaleta (hamstring) and midfielder Gareth Barry (back) are fit.
