The great big lets focus on the derby instead thread

[Dirk]

What's the deal here then? Win? Lose or draw? I think we'll skull fuck them. We need a show of unity from our supporters, it's easy for a sense of frustration with non-footballing events to spill over to the players. We need unity now more than ever.

 

 

My team would be:

 

Reina

Finnan

Carra

Hyppia/Agger

Riise

Aurelio

Gerrard

Alonso

Pennant

Kuyt

Bellamy

[rondeco]

I would choose crouch ahead of bellamy and agger instead of hyppia. Its gonna be a typical numb skulling day. Methinks.

[Stu Monty]

Is Johnson fit for it or not? I think that wil be the difference between it being a game and a massacre.

[kopitegaz]

Yeah, we have to think of the rest of this season and what we still may be able to achieve. We can talk all we want about what may or may not happen off the pitch, and thats only right, but at the game we need to get behind the reds more than ever.

[Newport]

Kill, kill, kill! Let's use the rage to run them over. 5-0

[kopitegaz]

Is Johnson fit for it or not? I think that wil be the difference between it being a game and a massacre.

 

And when we take one of our "wonderful" corners, at least they'll have Albert Steptoe on the back post again, so maybe he'll nod one in for us.

[Guest TK-421]

Can Pennant be trusted in a Derby after his irresponsible display of twattishness the other night? They're sure to try and wind him up.

[Toddler]

 

My team would be:

 

Reina

Finnan

Carra

Hyppia/Agger

Riise

Aurelio

Gerrard

Alonso

Pennant

Kuyt

Bellamy

 

 

Get off the fence....Hyppia or Agger? you can't have 12 players!

[G Richards]

Two up top for me, and I'd go with Kuyt and Bellamy. Better movement and pace. Crouch can be held back to be used an an impact sub should we need that around 70 mins.

 

I don't know how far away Momo is, but Rafa could shock us and throw him in. This is the sort of game he revels in.

 

We need to get stuck in and fight fire with fire. After a bit of bluster and going toe to toe our superior quality will tell. 3-0 for me.

[Dirk]

It depends on whether you think they're going be an aerial threat. They're probably going to have to play Beattie and his lack of mobility is telling so they'll resort to lumping it to him. Hyppia.

[WeAreTheBest]

I think he'll stun the world and play 4 3 3 with Masch man if he's allowed or Momo starting. I know both have been out for ages but it wouldnt surprise me if either started. Alonso was incredible away to Juve in his first start back, Gerrard majestic at home to Arsenal that time after his injury (He played about 30mins at Boro before) so I wouldnt be shocked if we go 4 3 3 especially if Masch is available as it allows Alonso and Gerrard even more freedom.

Alonso

Pennant

Kuyt

Bellamy

Yeah id go with that team. I wouldnt play Crouch, I think that would suit the BS by making it a long ball fest. Keep it on the deck, Xabi pulling the strings, Dirk in between Cahill/Carsley and Bellamy running between their FB/CBs.

 

Agger can cope with whatever they've got up top, be it Johnson or Beatty.

 

In short: 3 lovely points.

[Captain]

So Agger is out because we need Sami to handle Beattie? Fuck that.

 

Play Agger, he will have no problems whatsoever dealing with Beattie. Neither will Carra.

[stmichael]

I'd go for this.

 

Reina

 

Finnan - Carra - Agger - Aurelio

 

Pennant - Gerrard - Alonso - Riise

 

Kuyt - Bellamy

[RedinSweden]

I'm going 2-5-3

 

Reina

 

Carra Agger

 

Pennant Gerrard Mascherano Alonso Aurelio

 

Crouch Kuyt Bellamy

 

 

 

Come on!!!!!!

[Al Campbell]

Wipe the floor with the cunts. I'd go with the team that started against Chelsea, maybe bring Bellamy in for Crouch.

[Thants]

Yeah id go with that team. I wouldnt play Crouch, I think that would suit the BS by making it a long ball fest. Keep it on the deck, Xabi pulling the strings, Dirk in between Cahill/Carsley and Bellamy running between their FB/CBs.

And then we'll be home in time for a nice cuppa YAY!

[05 Milan]

Kill! Kill! Kill!

[Owen]

I wouldn't have Pennant or Mascherano anywhere near this match. Wouldn't be too surprised if Bolo started in the centre with Gerrard right.

[Ian Sea]

I'd go;

 

Reina

 

Finnan, Carragher, Agger, Aurelio

 

Pennant, Gerrard, Sissoko, Gonzalez

 

Kuyt, Bellamy

 

I'd have Alonso in the centre if Momo isn't fit though.

[madstock]

--------------- Pepe -------------

-----Carra------Sami----Dagger---

---------Xabi------Masher--------

Finnan-------Gerrard---------Riise

-----------Dirk-----Bellers--------

 

Will be great to see Dagger, Masher and Bellers in the same team :whistle:

[Guest TK-421]

I'll eat my sofa if Masher starts this one.

[Kurt]

I'm going 2-5-3

 

 

 

 

Come on!!!!!!

 

And you wonder why Athletico RiS struggle? ;)

[Momo Is A Beast]

i'm goin 3-1 (kuyt 2, gerrard)

[fivetimes]

I would go with the same team as Tuesday.
