Injuries....

does that mean they're all suffering from depression?

[Guest The Defender]

Offal says Alonso has a dead leg.. he should be ok soon then hopefully.

[Mad_Fer_It]

I don't get how a dead leg can make someone not continue playing...

[Guest Stephen King]

He did get hit pretty hard.

If you get a "proper" dead leg (i.e. unlike the ones we used to give each other in the school playground)

they are totally crippling. I got one in 5-a-side once, very similar to alonso's, it was bloody agony and

I could barely walk for 2 or 3 weeks.

So that is a midfield of Gerrard, Gerrard, Gerrard and Gerrard this wekend then.

While on paper that does look strong, I'm sick of Gerrard been played out of positions.

[jimmylibel]

Guardian reckons that Pennant will be ok for tomorrow, Xabi is probably out and Speedy is out for a month.

 

Ere

[Coyler]

What was meant to be wrong with Pennant? Hate to sound sceptical, like.

Garcia, Gerrard, Zenden, Bellamy

 

Though Riise/Warnock might get a game at left mid if he doesn't want to play Bellamy there

It was probably cramp

Warnock at LB and Riise on the wing wouldn't be too bad.

[CarraLegend]

Warnock is injured I think aswell as Aurelio, it'll have to be what we finished with on Wednesday or maybe Pennant right if hes fit and Garcia left

[Benitez]

great innit, some where wondering how we'd manage to keep all these left backs and left midfielders happy. And now we have only one fit!

[Gomez]

Yep, on the OS it says Warnock's had a groin op and Aurelio is out too.

 

If Pennant doesn't make it, could end up with Finnan in mid and Peltier at FB, or maybe Bellamy out there.

I think at home we should go for it. No point paying a full back at right midfield.

He went down in front of us, and I thought he was looking to come off for a while before that. He went down holding his head and then worked his way down to his leg - he'd been kicked and elbowed a few times with no protection from the ref or linesman.

 

Thought he looked quite good but a little lightweight.

 

Thought Gonzalez looked great before he went off!

[diaspora]

Anyone think that there is any mileage in Hyppia with Agger at the back and having Carra as the holding midfield player. I think he is still the record holder for U21 caps all as a midfielder

[Phil236849]

it always provokes an outcry but i'd love to see dan agger in CM. him with stevie g could be very sexy ya?

[CarraLegend]

Nah, thats just f***ing around with the defence to f*** around with the midfield. I'd just play what we finished with the other night if Pennant isnt fit

[Gomez]

Suppose we could always throw Anderson in, he's a LM isn't he?

There are worse games than City at home to make a debut.

[Guest redfromtubebar]

I don't want to see the defence changed at all since we have now started to keep a run of clean sheets(6 in the last 7).

 

At home I think we can get away with Garcia, Gerrard, Zenden and Bellamy in midfield.

[slapnuts]

Obi Martins got stretchered off with one on his debut.

[Mad_Fer_It]

hope we can see hammil or anderson thrown in
