    Hhhhhmmm. Rafa has a slight problem. Masher only needs a yellow to miss the final. My guess is he would have been 1st choice with SG in the middle. Xabi played the full game yesterday, as did Momo, suggestiung to me, they're not starting. But if Masher gets booked, and we get through, it'll be a real shame. I wonder of Momo's got a bet on that?

        Momo was injured though mate, and we had no Masher at the time. Gerrard had that extended run in the middle and didn't really pull up any trees.

        I would, however, play him in the middle on Tuesday.
        Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

          Riise always offers a threat at LM, which is more than Gonzalez does.

              If he "plays it safe" we'll all being watching the final on tele, even our players! Zenden on the bench at best IMO!

                I would have thought Geremi would play at CB instead of Essien,
                Oh I don't know.

                  Some good news from the beeb -

                  Chelsea have been rocked by the news that Michael Ballack and Ricardo Carvalho will miss Tuesday's Champions League semi-final against Liverpool.
                  The Blues lead 1-0 after the first leg but midfielder Ballack is likely to miss the rest of the season after having ankle surgery on Friday.

                  The 30-year-old picked up the injury in the early stages of Chelsea's goalless draw with Newcastle last weekend.

                  Defender Carvalho, 28, sustained a knee problem against Bolton on Saturday.
                  Mental note to self:

                    My Team would be:

                    Reina
                    Finnan
                    Carragher
                    Hyypia
                    Agger
                    Pennant
                    Gerrard
                    Mascherano
                    Riise
                    Kuyt
                    Crouch

                    This way we have the height of crouch and hyypia for set pieces, the movement of two strikers to try and drag their centre backs out of position allowing Stevie to surge through the centre.

                    When they have the ball we have two banks of 4 to defend by playing Agger at LB.

                    When we have the ball Stevie plays off the front two and Jamie either steps forward into his space and we compact the other 3 together, or we use Jamie almost as a sweeper to combat the long ball to Drogba.

                    The critical thing in this game is going to be the counter attack.

                          Probably, but we have to do something about Drogba on Tuesday.

                              I agree, Chelsea will sit back and defend deep so Bellers will be useless IMO, Crouch has to start but I would like to see Pennant on the right though with Gerrard in the middle or behind Crouch.

                                Bellamy will be of zero use in the home leg, exactly how many goals has he scored at anfield anyway?
