Let's have 'em.....the Barca build up thread

[MrMichael]

Probably the same as on Smicer scoring in Istanbul

[MrMichael]

Decided to change the thread title slightly, what was with the "oh ****...." anyway - we're Liverpool Football Club, 5 times European champions, BRING 'EM ON!!!!!

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

Mate, Telegraph has him starting. ANd one other paper/website I have been on. Not happy.

Finnan at right mid and Arbeloa RB was the other thing of note. Not sure about that either to be honest.

As I said earlier in the thread, Balague was predicting this on Revista De La Liga last night,

[desertscouser]

Massive rumour floating around that Zenden will start tonight!

I was looking at the Nou camp training ground pictures and my heart sank when I noticed that Zenden was wearing a grey bib along with Gerrard and Kuyt. I immediately put 1 and 1 together and deduced that my mate Zenden was starting.

[desertscouser]

Arbeloa was also wearing grey...

[bazza76]

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.

Doesnt look too bad.
By the looks of things, Zenden will be starting on the left, not central midfield. He does know the Barca squad pretty well after all.

Zenden had better have the game of his life. None of the bullsh!t like from Toon away

We all live in hope...but don't hold your breathe. Thankfully we have other quality players on the pitch who can make up for Zenden's inadequacies.

If Zenden plays just pay attention to how many needless fouls he gives away. It's incredibly irritating. Could be very dangerous in the last third.

Quite. Give Dinho enough free kicks and as he proved in game at w/e against Valencia he will eventually score

He makes Luis look like the most disciplined tackler in world football.

Aside from giving away dangerous needless fouls, he's also amazing at losing the ball.

[Mumsafan]

Is anyone else incredibly nervous already ?

No. What will be will be.

[Red_Polo]

I'm ****ting myself about the prospect of Arbeloa playing because I've seen **** all of him. However he did cope with Ronnie very well last time apparently.

At least he knows Barca well. I remember Rafa saying that he had a very good game against Ronaldinho and Barca this season already.
