Formation V Barcelona

[blacky]

So lads what will it be 442, 352, 532, 4231......etc etc

I reckon Rafa will try keep it tight so

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

--Carra--Hyppia --Agger--

Finnan--------------Aurelio

-----Momo-----Xabi--------

---------Gerrard-----------

------Crouch------Kuyt-----

[jonesie]

I can't see us playing 2 upfront. For me it's Kuyt and Gerrard behind Bellamy.

Sort of a 3-4-2-1.

Reina; Agger, Hyypia, Carragher; Finnan, Sissoko, Alonso, Riise; Gerrard, Kuyt; Bellamy

[FoxForceFive]

I think he'll play Stevie out right for this leg, to help Finnan keep the buck toothed genius contained, with Momo & Xabi in the centre.

I miss Didi for games like this, much as I like Momo.

[anfieldanfield]

I think...

---------Crouch--Bellamy
-------------Gerrard
-------Alonso-------Sissoko
Aurelio-----------------------Finnan
------Agger--Hyypia--Carra
--------------Reina

[anfieldanfield]

Or...

-------Crouch--Bellamy
Gonzalez---------------Gerrard
-------Alonso--Sissoko
Aurelio--Agger--Carra---Finnan
------------Reina

[Marky]

I think...

-----------Crouch--Bellamy
---------------Gerrard
---------Alonso-------Sissoko
Aurelio-----------------------Finnan
--------Agger--Hyypia--Carra
----------------Reina

That's the line up i'd go for too, bit controversial leaving Kuyt out but i haven't been to impressed with him of late, whilst Bellamy has been looking sharper by the game, his pace will cause problems to the one paced pairing of Puyol and Marquiz, Crouchy, well imo he's been terrific all season.

Crouch has been superb in Europe this season, with four goals, he's got to start.

Blimey!
We agree!

Apart from Crouch.

[FoxForceFive]

Blimey!
We agree!

Apart from Crouch.

What?!

He's scored 4 in Europe this season FFS. He's got to start, he'll trouble their defence, & never mind 'we'll just lob it up to him' that's what we'll be doing all game anyway, team bus in front of goal, hit up quickly on the hope of getting something on the break.

Well, nothing personal against the lad, I just prefer Kuyt up front.

[FoxForceFive]

Kuyt's in poor form.

That combined with Crouch's record in Europe will ensure he starts.

Agree with this.

Kuyt hasn't even scored in Europe this season.

[tomasjj]

I reckon we will get our goal from a set piece, if we get any.

[FoxForceFive]

I reckon we will get our goal from a set piece, if we get any.

Yet you'd still prefer Kuyt over Crouch?

You're a mentalist mate, with all due respect like.

I can see big Sami getting on the end of something.
