Looking at the team who played chelsea and the subs bench

-------------Reina
Finnan----Carragher----Agger----Riise
Pennant----Mascherano---Gerrard---Zenden
-----------Crouch----Kuyt

Subs
Padelli
Hyypia Arbeloa
Alonso Gonzales
Bellamy Fowler

Does anything fowler will be missing from the CL Final with Sissoko and maybe Kewell coming in. The two most likely to drop out are gonzales and Fowler.
First should Fowler stay in the squad just for penalties alone and does anyone feel sorry for anyone who would miss out and that has played all year with Kewell coming in at the last minute. Final question does the whole squad get medals or just the players involved on the night.

[El Jefecito]

Don't care if Harry comes in at the last minute. He's the best we have to play @ LW. If he is sharp enough then we should use him.

As to the others, WHATEVER.

[Maestro]

The whole squad get medals this time.

[tommykopite]

Agreed with you on kewell with gonzales likely to make way. But Rafa will more than likely play an extra midfielder against Milan Sissoko and Alonso to come in and Crouch on the bench, which leaves Fowler the most likely to give way. As a great admirer of Fowler over the years it would make a fitting end if he was to score the winning goal in a penalty shoot out if it comes down to that. But should he be included for this experties alone

We'll win it with this lineup:


-------reina-------
Finnan--Carra---Agger---Riise
Gerrard---Xabi---Jefe---Kewell
-----Crouch-----Kuyt-------

Subs:
Dudek
Bellers
Pennant
SpeedyG
Momo
Hyypia

I thing Zenden will be in there somewhere probably on the bench, No Arbeloa for the extra striker. Like the look of the team though

[Meursault]

I think we might have to crowd out the midfield by playing Alonso, Momo and Masher to counter Milan's superior/more experience midfielders.

They destroyed us in the 1st half in '05. They totally obliterate the mancs on wednesday night. That is their most potent force. Stop their midfield, we're stop them from playing me thinks.

[anfieldanfield]

The whole squad get medals this time.

Are you sure ?

Either way, I think Fowler will be on the bench for a possible pen.

[lfcruleus]

I love the way people are hyping Harry for a final place when he has been routinely slagged off for 2 years, makes me giggle.

[tommykopite]

There is a big question mark on kewell fitness, having already come in at the last minute on two cup finals and did nothing in either. If he is fit he is still the best option over Zenden or gonzales for the left

I would agree but he has been slated for faking injuries since 05 now they want him to play in the biggest club game in the world, there is an irony there, if I was HK i would tell them to **** off

I have a feeling that Robbie might get the winning goal in Athens.

I thought this before the semi, but I kept that thought to myself.

It would be a wonderful way for him to sign off his (LFC) career.

Unless it's the winning penalty, I highly, highly doubt it.

[Welhung]

Yeah I have been thinking the same thing. Robbie to score the winner. Not from a penalty either, but in the dying minutes of normal time, when the teams are drawn. Rafa brings on Robbie and he nicks a goal with a minute to go. Liverpol win no. 6

**** I would love that. It would be like all my christmases came at once.

[Bob]

It's laughable. There is **** all to suggest he is ready to even play.

Harry has NO chance IMO.
