Team for 'morra?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

I'd go with:

 

Reina

Arbeola, Sami, Agger, JAR

Momo

Pennant Stevie Gonzalez

Bellamy Fowler

 

 

or something

[RafaShanks]

What's our yellow card situation?

[anny road]

reina

 

Finnan Carra Agger Arbeloa

 

Pennant Masch Alonso Riise

 

Gerrard Crouch

Finnan Carra Agger Arbeloa

Gerrard Crouch

 

I'd play Bellamy myself. Needs a goal.

 

I might also play Momo and rest Gerrard

Bellamy's a guaranteed starter without Dirk.

[Cam]

Reina

Abeloa Carragher Hyypia Riise

Pennant Alonso Mascherano Gonzalez

Bellamy Fowler

 

Strong bench but a couple of kids amongst them.

 

I might also play Momo and rest Gerrard

He may need games, and 'dead' games like this may be the best place. But I think Momo's form and confidence is such that he's practically a write-off until Rafa can spend some quality time with him during pre-season.

see what you are saying about Bellamy

 

I dont think Gerrard will be rested...he may come off at HT if we are over the horizon....

 

I can see him not playing Sat at City

I'd be annoyed at that (Gerrard not playing at city)

 

Have him on the bench and bring him on if needed.

 

Cam, theres no way that Momo won't play til next season.

he never plays well at City......fact......

[sutty]

That left back is always too good

[anny road]

thats the reason to play him this year

 

boot the f*** out of Ball

 

In other news, Chris got in lumber on Monday for telling Geoff's barmaid bird that he had a bit on the side, he then topped it off by saying to the wife of a local hard nut..."By christ, you've put on a bit of timber love"

I'm sure we'll start with as strong a line-up as is available. I know we're three up but we still can't be taking chances. If we're level or up after the hour then I reckon that's when Rafa will start bringing players off to give them a rest of sorts before the weekend. If we win our next two league games then we'll be in a position where we can probably start to think about taking more chances with our starting line-ups for league matches, but we need to be mathematically sure of fourth at the very least before we do that.

 

Even if we do end up making the final in Athens I think we'll still need to play as strong a team as we can to keep the players match fit. There are only two league games scheduled in the three weeks between the second leg of the semi and the final.

[San Diego Red]

Pennant definitely deserves a start, and so does Sami.

[kacangpool]

So long as we don't play Dudek.

[Swagger]

Pennant definitely deserves a start, and so does Sami.

 

Agreed.

 

Reina

Arbeloa Carra Sami Riise

Pennant Stevie Xabi Speedy

Bellamy Crouch

[Bigal]

Pennant definitely deserves a start, and so does Sami.

 

as agger didnt play on saturday, sami wont play

[RafaShanks]

Rafa will start with a relatively strong team I think.

 

This is the team I'd like to see FWIW:

 

Arbeloa Agger Carra Riise

Pennant Momo Stevie Gonzalez

--------Bellamy Crouch---------

 

If we score a couple, then he can take the likes of Carra, Stevie and possibly Crouchy off.

[Red]

Crouch seemed strangely absent on the pre-match training video posted in the other thread.. or did I miss him?

He was one of the red poles the lads slolam pass.

[Rich Gobey]

I'd give Sissoko and Zenden a go in the middle, or Mascherano and Zenden.

He must've turned sideways and hid behind one of em y'mean.

I can see Zenden playing tonight alright, but maybe on the left rather than the middle.
