Centre-back pairing for Birmingham

Assuming gallas is out, would you rather play sol n song, sol n silvestre or silvesre n song, personally i would go for sol n song, and if sol doesn't recover for next wednesday we should play song alongside TV, and keep diaby as holding midfielder.

Song and Sol looked solid enough against the Spammers. I can't Silvestre playing for us again (didn't he have a go at Wenger in the papers a few months ago?)

u cant stick Silvestre in this game, i'd like to see Song and Sol as u said, with Cesc Diaby and Denilson as the 3 centre mids, id be happy with that seeing as tv is out

silvestre is like that dinner you made last night, then there were leftovers and so you froze it.

it's just for emergencies

Thing is, if Sol plays Saturday then he's gonna be questionable for Barca on wednesday... Who would you rather have trying to keep Messi & co at bay, Sol or Sylvestre?!

There is a sticky for the Brum game where this has already been discussed.

Sol and Song, and as was said above if Sol isn't looking good for Wednesday play TV and Song

That's the question - Sol is unlikely to play Saturday, then Wednesday. So if Gallas definitely is out, then there isn't much option other than to use Silvestre. Or a partnership of Sagna and Song

.

I think it will be Silvestre and Song...and I will be pooing...a lot.

Silvestre isn't awful, but i prefer when he's in at home. It'll be Sol-Song, Barca is a luxury game in many ways, the leagues no.1

Song and Silvestre,keep Sol for barce.Play Diaby and Denilson infront of them.

We shouldn't have signed Sol if he can't play twice in four days. In that position I'm fairly sure he can, especially given the boost the big game against Barca will give him. Got to play him in both.

If we're desperate for alternatives, is my mind playing tricks on me or was it not said that Sagna can play in the middle when we signed him - certainly has a good enough leap on him. In which case you could play him with Eboue at right back in one of the games.

There is more to think about than just who the best two are, thats obvious, its Sol and Song, but id rather save Sol for Barcelona, which means on saturday i would play Silvestre and Song, they can handle Birmingham no problem!

I like Sol, but I think he has got a big mistake inside him waiting to happen. He looks so clumsy and uncomfortable on the ball.

Hmmm, I'm tempted to say Silvestre and Song
