Team for Carling Cup On Wednesday?

[RafaShanks]

Now that the Manc game is out of the way, we have a quarter final game against Chelsea on Wednesday.

 

Possible semi final clash against the Bitters to look forward to if we get through.

 

My team:

 

--------------------Itandje----------------------

Arbeloa-------Carra-------Hobbs----------Aurelio

Babel--------Lucas-------Stevie------------Leto

-------------Voronin------Crouch---------------

Carragher

Aurelio

Benayoun

Lucas

Sissoko

Leto

Voronin

Crouch

[crisps]

--------------------Itandje----------------------

Arbeloa-------Carra-------Hobbs----------Aurelio

Babel--------Lucas-------Alonso------------Leto

-------------Voronin------Nemeth---------------

 

Probably let Spearing have 30 mins too.

[Guz]

Hope we play a strong team and beat the f*****s

[Digger]

Sorry lads but i'd go full strength for this, Chelsea rarely rest players for such games and we need a pick me up asap.

Not worth risking Xabi for this IMHO.

Play Babel up front with Crouch, Lucas and Sissoko in the middle, if Alonso is ready put him on the bench, give Aurellio some game time too. Dont think Chelsea will be full strength either Drogba's out anyway and Terry had a bad knock today so he wont play either.

[Guest RedIsMyColour]

I couldn't care less at the moment. I am like a balloon with a leak.

Hobbs

Riise

Babel

Sissoko

Lucas

Aurillio

Voronin

If Xabi is fit I would play him instead of Voronin and push babbel upfront, play a midfield 3 of Xabi, momo and Lucas.

Think it's Carra that needs the rest more than Sami at the moment...

[Hassony]

I agree, thats why i put Hobbs in with Sami. Hobbs can learn a lot from Hyypia

Agree with that (although i'd rest one of carra or sami)

 

A third domestic defeat on the bounce would be very bad news.
