The Official Match Thread - Liverpool v Chelsea - 2nd Leg

[Guest]

It has to be said that our options on the left are quite limited, but would have gone with Gonzo who has more pace. I think Rafa is expecting a tight game once again.

[SouthAfricaRed]

The most surprising thing about the lineup is IMO that Riise plays left back and not left midfield.

Maybe Rafa wants Jose to think that

Ferreira will be in for a shock when Riise comes at him

[Red_Polo]

I am totally gutted that Zenden is playing. Big big mistake. Could be costly

He will score for us tonight.

**** it Gerrard in the middle thats all that matters.

[Jayesh87]

I was quietly confident before i saw the starting xi's, hate to say it but i think rafa has got it totally wrong again

one hour till kick off

[ARIMAN]

I`m worried they`ll unlock our defense without sissoko

[leftpeg]

Subs
Padelli
Alonso
Arbeloa
Hyypia
Gonzalez
Bellamy

You missed Fowler

Not wishing to second guess Rafa, but how the feck are we're going to unlock chavski's defence without our best passer being on the pitch...

Nah, he will come on later when we will need some vision and killer passes. Rafa's got this right!

In fairness he hasn't been our best passer lately,but he can turn it on at any second.

At least he's on the bench.

[Jack D Rips]

This is a kamikazi selection.

[Tom]

That's a huge risk by Rafa, leaving alonso out.

[Guest]

Has anyone the subs?

Shut it you.

[Morph]

it's been swaid but i'm absolutely gutted that zenden is playing, he wasted every ****ing ball in the first leg, cant beat a man and then tries a cross with his **** right foot, feel like going to anfield and busting his legs so he can't play

[lfc4ever]

If any other top 4 team had Zenden in their starting 11, we would laugh our socks off, that is one reason why the strength of depth of our squad is not at the required level - yet.

You missed Fowler

Thanks for pointing that out.
