We played Anzhi while their season was ongoing and while giving a few fringe players at home a chance we beat them 1-0 and only lost 1-0 away with almost a reserve team.

 

Liverpool-Azhi 1-0

Anzhi-Liverpool 1-0

 

And if we look at the table we can see Anzhi is above Zenit, so with a winter break in Russia and a full strenght team I fancy our chances to get a good result in this game-

 

 

We can also look at the results Zenit had in the Champions League before dropping to the Europa League in what I'd say is one of the weaker groups considering the current state of Milan and Malaga.

 

18/09 20:45 Málaga - Zenit St Petersburg 3-0

03/10 18:00 Zenit St Petersburg - Milan 2-3

24/10 18:00 Zenit St Petersburg - Anderlecht 1-0

06/11 20:45 Anderlecht - Zenit St Petersburg 1-0

21/11 18:00 Zenit St Petersburg - Málaga 2-2

04/12 20:45 Milan - Zenit St Petersburg 0-1

 

Champions League group C:

1. Málaga 6 3 3 0 12-5 12p

2. Milan 6 2 2 2 7-6 8p

-----------------------------

3. Zenit St Petersburg 6 2 1 3 6-9 7p

4. Anderlecht 6 1 2 3 4-9 5p

 

 

I know football is not maths, but based on this I think we should be favourites and I will be bitterly disappointed if we dont go through overall and get a good result away in Russia.

[boomer39]

no its not maths... its bloody football and matches aren't won on paper...

[Guest San Don]

no its not maths... its bloody football and matches aren't won on paper...

 

After Monday night's performance, I'd take a draw right now.

me too but think/hope they will be up for this one after monday's show...

[amli]

Long away trip here, so I'd go for a mixture of youth and experience.

 

Gulacsi

Johnson Sama Skrtel Wisdom

Ibe Baio Sterling

Sturridge Sinclair Ngoo

 

Gulacsi looks the most gay of the keepers, and stick their ex-player Srktel in just to wind them up even more about their manifesto.

[Johnny Cougar]

Fuck mixtures. Best team out and try and get a goal or two.

 

Reina

Wisdom Skrtel Agger Johnson

Gerrad Lucas Henderson

Downing Sturridge (if fit) Suarez.

[amli]

Fuck mixtures.

 

 

Drop Johnson then if you're not keen on mixtures.

Don't think we have a gay RB to play in his place though.

That team would lose about 200 nil.

Yeah, that's the team I want to see as well. This is the only trophy we have a chance of winning, fuck playing a weakened side. Its going to be tough enough with our first choice.

You're a fucking loon. That'll be NGoo who's currently on loan at Hearts, will it?

[boomer39]

and sturridge who is ineligable

Send the best team out absolutely,The Europa league is all we have left to play for this season so if we go out our season will be over in February and thats a bit early for my liking.

 

Surprised you did not know Sturridge is cuptied though.

I think you're trying to be funny about the whole racism thing?

or am I missing something?

[Razoray]

You're a fucking loon. That'll be NGoo who's currently on loan at Hearts, will it?

 

I'd say that team/post is a dig at the homophobia and racism of the Zenit fans

Don.

[Kevin D]

Are the Zenit fans boycotting the game? I have it on good authority Suarez will be stepping off the plane with the diabolical intention of having non-consensual sex with the entire Zenit backline.

Forgotten all about him being Cup Tied until Boomer mentioned it.

With that in mind I'd go

 

Reina

Wisdom Skrtel Agger Johnson

Gerrard Lucas

Downing Henderson Enrique

Suarez

 

We have looked much better with another recognized attacker up with Suarez in recent times, but I don't think Borini counts as that at the moment, he looks lost, lacking in touch and confidence and like a player who doesn't have the trust of his manager. So, I'll go with Enrique and Downing on the sides to help out their fullbacks and allow them to overlap.

I wouldn't play Enrique as a pure LB ever again.

[Johnny Cougar]

Ah yeah, I see. I did wonder what the fuck he was on about talking about mixtures/gay RB's etc...now I get it.

Don.

 

Thanks for waking him up.

Didn't help me escape his regular weekly negative rep though.

[Jairzinho]

I'd like to take this opportunity to publically apologise to amil.

 

You did a funny, and I did not notice.

[thompsonsnose]

Fuck all to play for domestically now.

A Team please.

Or whatever Rodgers thinks is his A team...

[mike23]

We've fucked up any chance of doing anything in the league now and we're out of both domestic cups so I really hope we start taking this competition seriously now. Strongest possible team please. I'm not sure we've got much chance against some of the other teams left in this competition but I'd be pretty disappointed if we couldn't beat Zenit over 2 legs. Shame that Sturridge can't play. He probably barely even featured for Chelsea in their champions league games.

Er, hmmm!

Less of the lip. Perhaps you should use a smiley once in a while? :whistle:
