this is very worring news that zenden will be starting is this correct?

Honestly more worried about us only playing one up. To be honest although not a great player, Zenden will work hard. Whatever team we put out left mid will be our most obvious weak point. I just think that with one up we will find it very hard to retain the ball.

Kuyt and Crouch would be my prefered partnership up top.

im worried about that aswel though id rather bellamy tonight it would be like him to nick a goal after everything thats happened this week! i have no doubts that zenden would work hard but i feel in a match of this magntude we need something more from players!

The problem is the injuries we have and the poor form of Gonzalez give us limited options. I think whichever player we play there will be a risk, however Zenden seems better at playing a disciplined role in the team. If it were in the group stages I would have prefered Gonzalez to get a chance to prove he still has what he showed last season, however in this game the stakes are too high, Gonzalez has been given chances in some big matches (notable against United) and so far has failed to show the desire or positional discipline to convince me.

On a side note: I wasn't especially excited about this game, until I woke up this morning having a dream of Momo scoring the winner. Now I have an odd feeling we might pull off something special.

I had a dream last night that I was ****ing one of my mates' girlfriends.

you have a point as gonzalez has looked lightweight in big games! zenden is our only option i hope 2 **** he plays out of his socks tonight!

[Rhys]

i dont think rafa will play it too defensively as we will lose if we do. barca will play through us and score if we just sit back and defend. valencia showed at the weekend the way to beat barca is similar to how you beat arsenal by closing them down quickly and attacking keeping the ball in their half as much as possible. we should play two up front (kuyt and bellamy) and go for it.

Zenden is pure 100% rubbish and always will be. If he plays tonight it will make our task even harder.

Massive rumour floating around that Zenden will start tonight!

[ufc43]

Team for Tonight!

What would yours be?

Mine starting eleven would be.

1.Reina
2.Finnan
3.Riise
4.Carra
5.Hyypia/Agger
6.Alonso
7.Pennant
8.Gerrard
9.Crouch
10.Sissoko playing just in front of Carra & Hyypia/Agger
11.Aurileo

4 - 5 - 1

Option of bringin on Bellamy or Kuyt at 60 min.
Gonzalez or Zenden at 70 min or so.

Either way, we must keep Barca out.

Massive rumour floating around that Zenden will start tonight!

Well yeah, Teamtalk and one or two other outlets have called the team as follows:

Reina

Arbeloa
Carragher
Agger
Riise

Finnan
Alonso
Sissoko
ZENDEN

Gerrard

Kuyt

If that's right.......................oh dear.

[MrMichael]

I think he might - though for anyone to try and call Rafa's selection this early in the day is foolhardy, especially if its teamtalk. Anyway, I would ask everyone to remember Igor's performances in the '05 CL campaign that propelled him to legend status despite him being consistently crap in every league game he ever played.

Zenden to score the winner tonight

I wonder what odds you can get on that...
