f***. Booked flights and hotel for the Everton match. Then it got moved to monday. Cancelled it all and booked a hotel for the City game on Saturdays. Was looking to rearrange the flights with Easyjet. That will not be neccessary anymore.
My guess is that Mascherano is playing because we will try to hit them on the counter attacks and Masch is there for protecting our defence when the counter attacks fail. Keane had cramp when he fell in the 2nd half last Friday. Riera is rapidly getting tired in the second half of each match and I think this match is too soon for him.
He already was like this when he started every game for Ajax although a bit younger. It's in his nature. He will not be able to change it easily. Unfortunately for him we haven't got the time waiting for him to improve.
