Team for Birmingahm ?

[Falconhoof]

Would a yellow card for Momo mean he'd be suspended for Arsenal or are we past that now ?

 

Reina

Paletta

Agger

Peltier

Warnock

Pennant

Sissoko /Guthrie

Zenden

Riise

Fowler

Bellamy

[Benitez]

Dudek can play this one now can't he?

 

Not sure about Momo, I thought he was safe now, and that was why Rafa didn't start him yesterday.

 

I'm sure we'll go with that back four though. And maybe Gonzalez will start, cos he could do with the games being as his season so far has been so stop-start due to injuries / illness.

Its a tricky game to approach this because Birmingham are on a bit of a run while our game away at Arsenal is so important it can't be overstated.

 

I want us to win at Birmingham but I can't help but look forward to our next 2 league games. If we win away at Arsenal and Boro then we have two relatively easy home league games. Get through all of that on a winning league run and we might be ready for a real push in the New Year. I know, I know, one game at a time.

[CarraLegend]

If Momo is booked he'd miss Boro away, i'd rather he got booked away to Arsenal and missed City at home to be honest.

[Nerik]

Dudek

Peltier

Agger

Paletta

Aurelio

Pennant

Zenden

Momo

Gonzalez

Fowler

Bellamy (if fit)

[Sion]

On the tele as well. Sky sports

[Maldini]

I hope El Zhar gets a run

[Guest Kev]

Dudek can play.

 

Fowler, Agger, Pennant will play.

[Alonso]

Dudek

 

Peltier Paletta Agger Warnock

 

Pennant Guthrie Zenden Gonzalez

 

Bellamy Fowler

 

Given Guthrie's competent performance last time out I think he deserves to start and plus with the Arsenal game in mind I wouldn't want anything to happen to Sissoko.

[Maldini]

Guthrie and Zenden in midfield doesn't provide much protection for the back 4 though

[Gravy]

Where's Elisha Scott with his team sheets.

I doubt the manger knows yet.

 

Not arsed about the league cup this season but now its on Sky and probably billed as fat heads revenge, I don't want to go out to them.

 

Put out a strong side capable of winning the game but rest players for Arsenal. We're not in the position Arsenal are, where we can rest a whole team and still beat most premierships first 11.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

I would work out my team for Arsenal and then work backwards from that.

[Phil236849]

didnt rafa say that after beating reading, he might start taking the competition more seriously?

[Andy @ Allerton]

Rafa will surprise everyone with his team selection

[Bigal]

Are you playing andy?

[Falconhoof]

Rafa will surprise everyone with his team selection

 

 

Will he surprise you Andy ? Sounds like you won't be surprised because you are prepared for a surprise.

[Kahnee]

Maybe the surprise will be that there isn't a surprise, which will certainly surprise those expecting to be surprised, and could equally catch out those who didn't know whether to expect a surprise or not

same team as saturday

That would be a surprise.

[chiliking]

That surely is a surprice

[psl]

The fact is that we won't be surprised when Rafa springs a surprise. Unless he fails to spring a surprise, which in itself would be a surprise.

for sure

[Bootle Buck]

After using the youngsters in the last round. Rafa, in his persistance to boggle the minds of the media has decided to play 5 of the Liverpool Legends team. Alan Kennedy, Jan Molby, John Durnin, John Walk and Ian Rush will all start.

[McBain]

Does the thread title have an accent?
