Yup, Should have gone 442 with benni on the left and the gog upfront, mascherano and stevie in the middle. No excuse against the bottom side in the league not to be putting out an attacking side.
I'll wager Rafa and the club physio's are in a better position to judge his fitness. I think he may start on Sunday for the very reason hes been rested, the worst outcome from tonights game could have been that we went out anyway, with Aquilani getting knobbled as a result of a clumsy challenge from a nothing team having been stuck on for the last half-hour in a game we didnt look like drawing despite playing within ourselves.
We were winning a poor game and Rafa was more than likely being kept informed of the events in the other game. No need to risk Aquilani in this sort of game on a below par pitch against that lot. Save him for the derby. We are out of the CL, move on.
Seems he's keen to leave Bayern asap to secure a world cup spot. Big & powerful player with a good record, think he could do a good job for us alongside Torres. From SSN: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_5715701,00.html
