O, hell! How does Nicky Butt walk straight back into our side? I think Kinnear is too negative - obviously, he doesn't want to lose games, he doesn't want to damage himself in any way, and I'm sure if we manage to scrap a draw tonight he'll be pumping his fists at the end of the game; he'll declare it a great day in the club's history; and he'll spout some more nonsense for the sake of himself and the board either after the match or tomorrow morning - and perhaps he sees Butt as a solid option tonight against a good team. But it leaves us without our best passer of the ball; more, Guthrie looks better defensively than Butt has done for a long time; and he and Barton showed some potential together against West Brom. And it isn't as though Barry and Reo Coker are a particularly attacking central midfield pair. We could really do with Butt being crocked for a longer period.
I'm happy that Enrique is starting at left back again, and the rest of the team is as expected. It would be nice to see N'Zogbia sometime tonight. And hopefully Martins and Shola perform.
