Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.

Or is there a lot of noise coming from our camp about this one tonight? It seems pretty quiet from their side and I personally prefer it that way. Do the talking on the pitch or after the game is won
as for tonight Pennant has to be on the right otherwsie if Stevie's there they'll be able to break down the right all night long.
Stevie left with Riise LB is an option.
Or I recon he'll go with Steive behind Crouch gives him the option of helping out the midfield who can then cover lb and rb if they push on.
when ever we do that though we seem to play 451 with crouch deserted up front 442 is the way to go.

most uncharacteristic...not used to it and I'm not sure I like it...
Did you mean to post this in the virginity thread?
. Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
The probable Chelsea team (barring any last minute 'miracle' recoveries will be:
Cech
Ferreira
Essien
Terry
A. Cole
Makelele
Mikel
Lampard
J. Cole
Kalou
Drogba
AT ALL TIMES Crouch must get onto Essien. Terry will want to be the man to mark Crouch, Essien will be unsure. This could create confusion like we saw in the league game in January. Enter Kuyt.
Pennant and Gerrard to swap flanks every now and again. Jermaine will want to have a go at his old mate Cashley, so let him. 15-20 mins on one flank, then switch and have a go at Ferriera on the other. Gerrard, of course, will not stick to the wing, but come inside whenever possible. He has to get into the box with Kuyt to try and get on the end of any Crouch knock downs.
Stop Joe Cole and Kalou getting the ball. If we starve them of service then they'll be forced to go long to Drogba.
DO NOT let Lampard shoot from around 30 yards. The man is a deflection finding machine. He will find one and it will go in.
Keep set pieces to a minimum. We know how skilled Chelsea are at scoring scrappy goals from corners and free kicks.
Get Xabi on the ball. He's due a big game and when he ticks, we tick.
Wind up Drogba, Joe Cole and whoever else is playing and on a booking. They are likely to go into their shells if they think they won't be playing in the final.
Riise, Alonso, Gerrard, Agger, god even Pennant, SHOOT! Just have a go. We've scored great goals against Chelsea in the past. They're not going to give us many chances so take them whenever you can.
Stop the full backs getting forward. Chelsea are a very narrow team, if we stop their full backs then our full backs can get forward and overlap. Both Riise and Finnan are good crossers of the ball. Get wide and get it in to Crouchie.
If in doubt, go long. It's not pretty but we've got a 6 foot 7 striker up there for god's sake, get it into him. Chelsea won't be confident against him, few are.
And finally, if you like me are going to the match tonight, THEN SING YOUR ****ING HEARTS OUT!!!

i think you are correct on the lineup for lfc.
use crouch to pull terry out of the key area and kuyt will score from a cross
simple
once its 1-0 and level on aggregate, theyll wet their nappies
