Who is going to miss out?

[deacon]

I was looking at our squad earlier and reckon this is the list of first team players able to play in the final:

 

Reina

Dudek

Finnan

Arbeloa

Riise

Carragher

Hyypia

Agger

Gerrard

Mascherano

Alonso

Sissoko

Pennant

Kewell

Gonzalez

Zenden

Crouch

Kuyt

Bellamy

Fowler

 

That's 20, and with the 11 starters and 7 on the bench, 2 are going to miss out. Who do you reckon they will be?

 

I have a horrible feeling it will be Momo and Fowler, which would be a shame as Momo was brilliant against Barcelona and it would be great to see Fowler involved in the final, if we won it'd be the best way to end his career with us.

[Guest Finnan3]

Gonzalez

and Sissoko or Fowler

[nrkintheuk]

Gonzalez

and Sissoko or Fowler

 

Think it may be Momo, especially if Zenden's included

[fred milne]

My guess would be Fowler and Gonzalez.

[Guest Finnan3]

Think it may be Momo, especially if Zenden's included

 

On the other hand - 4 strikers in an 18 man squad?

[Rimbeux]

Gonzalez

and Sissoko or Fowler

 

 

Word

[Stevie H]

My guess would be Fowler and Gonzalez.

assuming riise starts at left-back, ditto.

[Falconhoof]

Gonzalez

 

and one out of Sissoko and Fowler. Christ thats a tough one to call.

[Guest Dexter]

Fowler will be in the squad in case it goes to penalties!!!

[beejay]

My guess would be Fowler and Gonzalez.

 

Would be surprised if that's not right. Final decision may still rest on fitness ie if anyone has a knock or tactics if say we only play 1 up front (which I doubt).

 

The only way I can see Robbie on the subs bench is for penalties but even that's a long shot.

What about your reserve keeper as well? 3 to miss out now.

[Rich Gobey]

Pongolle and Warnock would be my guess.

Yeah but with Momo and/or Zenden there's 5 CMs. Plus Rafa subs strikers and attacking mids way more than others. Could even be Arbeloa/Sami if he thinks Carra can cover full back or Arbeloa can cover CB

[JimmyF]

Fowler and Gonzalez IMO, if Rafa plays one up front chances are Gerrard, Alonso and Masch all start thus Momo will be needed as cover
