Tonights Team

[Red Nick]

I it was me id play

 

-------------------Reina------------------------

Finnan-----------Carra----------Hyppia-----Warnock

-----------------Alonso-----Sissoko-------------

Pongolle--------------Garcia------------------Kewell

---------------------Cisse----------------------

 

However think rafa wil play Zenden & Morientes instead of Pongolle and Cisse

[coop]

would like to see Pongolle out there on the right as well - tonight is a big opportunity for Cisse to show what he can do - if he has another game where he misses chances then the media are gonna have a field day

[kop]

Do you really think Kewell's playing?

 

My guess would be

Reina

Finnan - Carra - Hyypia - Warnock

Garcia - Alonso - Sissoko - Zenden

Morientes - Cisse

 

Or Hamann in for Cisse in a 4-5-1

[dave u]

Got a feeling Cisse will be the hero tonight.

 

Starting with Flo and Kewell isn't an option surely? Neither of them have much match practice.

 

My team, assuming SG doesn't make it, would be

 

(3-4-1-2)

 

Reina

Carra

Sami

Djimi

Finnan

Xabi

Momo

SW

Luis

Djibs

Crouchy (if fit)/ Nando

[Rashid]

I'd play:

 

Reina

Finnan Carragher Hyypia Warnock

Garcia Alonso Sissoko Kewell

Cisse Morientes

[Flight]

Got a feeling Cisse will be the hero tonight.

Djimi

Is Djimi fit now ? Top news if so.

 

 

Suspect we will see Hamann, Alonso and Sissoko all play tonight.

Is crouchy near fitness then, I had it in my head it would be longer

A week ago I read that he should be ok for the super cup.

 

As for Djimi, he had a run out for the ressies this week, and he hasn't been out as long as Flo or HK, so he could probably come straight back in.

 

I think the team Rashid picked will be pretty close to how it is, maybe with Zenden starting instead of Kewell.

It'll be Garcia on the right, Zenden on the left with Momo, Xabi and Didi all in the middle I reckon. Morientes up front. Maybe Djimbo in if he's fit.

 

If it was me I'd play Riise on the left though ahead of Kewell but keep the rest of Rash's team.

[terry mac]

Crouch was left behind, still struggling with his hamstring

[Paul]

I like the cut of your (D)jib. That formation plays to the strengths of the players available, although I'd have JAR on the left of the four rather than Warnock. If Djimi really is back, that is excellent news.

Or like kop's team if you like :party:

 

I really hope Pongo gets a chance tonight also, he's looked lively and your reports suggest he might be on his way to the next level this year.

No Gerrard! Josemi.....Oh dear!!!

[Bare]

Josemi playing with Warnock on the bench. Not Good.

[mni]

He'll probably play Riise LB, Josemi RB and Finnan RM...

[Stefan]

Josemi as left back, or three central defenders?

[Spy Bee]

Keep 'em guessing Rafa!

[WeAreTheBest]

People moaning before kick off? We've got the best fans in the world? Yeah right

[drewy]

Who's moaning? Are you happy about Josemi playing?

[WeAreTheBest]

Who's moaning? Are you happy about Josemi playing?

 

"Josemi....Oh dear"

 

"Josemi playing instead of Warnock Not good!"

 

I dont mind him playing, if he plays aswell as he did the other night its fine by me. I certainly wont be ridiculing him before kick off.

[cochcaer]

Not a bad team but would have played his Lordship and Momo

[drewy]

People are entitled to say what they believe. No one is ridiculing him and I like the way you say "If" he plays as well as he did the other night. Does that mean if he doesn't you'll ridicule him or have a little moan?

No it doesnt, if he can play as well as he did the other night then I dont mind him in the team but it he plays poorly i'd prefer someone else in the team. Its hardly rocket science.

[drewy]

Hindsight is a wonderfull thing.

Word. I'm really not convinced by Didi and Xabi as a combination. I reckon Rafa's going with Riise and Finnan as wing backs, Garcia playing behind Moro.
