Sami Hyypia

Why wasn't he at least given the last ten minutes upfront ?

Why, Mourinho taken over already, has he?

 

 

[psl]

I did wonder if Rafa would do that. We had no presence at all once Crouch went mental.

I was thinking the very same thing

[DonRafa]

We're a bit short of centre-backs at moment, it would have been madness to risk Sammi.

[RafaShanks]

Reina would have been more effective.

So why was he on the bench then ? What would have happened if Carra or Hobbs had of needed to come off ?

He was there in case of emergency. If one of the centre backs had needed to come off, then he would have been brought on - but there was no need to risk him in a Carling Cup tie when we have four games in eight days and Agger still injured.

If he did put Hyypia upfront there'd be 10s and 10s of "he's lost the plot" "what the f*** is he doing putting a slow defender upfront for?" type posts today.

Not to mention the fact that we all made fun of Jose relentlessly for it...

Because he's not even remotely a striker?

A better option than Crouch on the night then ?

Load of s**** this.

I'm sure Benitez was thinking just that. Should I throw on Hyypia up front? No, better not, the internet posters and phone in jockeys will think I've lost the plot.

[Koogan]

Roy Hodgson did that. Sami played up front the last 10 minutes in Finland vs. Serbs earlier this year.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Cant believe this is even being considered.

Yea, don't Finland still play that 'over head height' rule?

[Kahnee]

Kev, stop talking b******s

 

Most sensible post so far

[Guest Snorky]

What's with the abuse?

 

Can't see nothing wrong with throwing a defender upfront for the final 10 minutes when we are trying to save the game.

I've never seen one before, no-one has, but I'm guessing it's a white hole.

It's not allowed due to 'style of football' rules. Tall players are only allowed in defence.
