Tough enough game this. another 12:45 kick off. Its also a pity we have been broken up when we looking like gathering some momentum. team i think we will see. reina finnan carra agger arbeloa babel gerrard sissoko kewell crouch Torres Think the weak link is sissoko at the moment with been out of form and he hasn't played in a while. I would put masch in there but he is away on international duty.
Can't seem him throwing Agger back in for 90 minuets yet, Sami has been playing well too. I'd say he'll take a chance on Masc too, Momo has been out of form for so long. Would love to see Babbel getting a game on the right, but Rafa dosen't seem to rate him there.
Think Rafa is doing a great job with Babel- he just doesn't look up to it most of the time- really feeling his way in still and will be for a while yet I guess.
can't see him starting agger. too soon for him. think he'll play momo, not masch. would like to see babel start. any news on pennant
I could see Momo and Masch play in this one to be honest. Lucas might also play with Stevie on the bench... worth a bet!
I reckon he'll start Lucas in the middle this weekend. Possibly alongsideh Sissoko and Gerrard on the right with Kewell on the left. Kuyt & Torres up front.
It's a game we must win, Utd and Arse have easy games this weekend. I'd like to see us go and attack them from the start. I'd start Kewell on the left and I'd like to see Babel on the right, but with Rafa we could see Kuyt on the right and Riise on the left and only one up front leaving Stevie to support from the middle. I'd play Torres up front if fully fit with Crouch. Start Agger on the bench. My team: Reina Arbeloa Carra Sami Riise/Aurelio Babel Stevie Masch Kewell Torres Crouch
Seeing as Kuyt was on the bench for Holland last night, I'd be expecting to see him in the starting 11 come Saturday. With Crouch and Voronin both playing 90 minutes last night and with Rafa's selection policy it seems the most obvious partnership really. The only question is will he play more out on the right wing, or be up front supporting Torres.
Would not be suprised to see the following Reina Finnan Agger Carragher Arbeloa Benayoun Sissoko Gerrard Masherano Riise Torres Hopefully Reina Finnan Agger Carragher Arbeloa Benayoun Gerrard Masherano Kewell Torres Crouch
Not too tough of a game I hope, Torres on his own would work with Gerrard followinn up...I would love to see Lucas gettin more game time as well, he is supposed to be a young Gerrard aint he? and he has looked grand when he has the chance even on the big stage against Everton he proved his mettle
Gerarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd Goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll fecking screamer
What a goal by Stevie. We are dominating the game all over the pitch. Kewell looks spritely. Aido was there a foul on Given when Torres hit the post?
