Just looking at that team selection. What a relief it is to have so much cover at virtually each position.

If Sami and Riise had have been injured last season we'd have been screwed

I think that Pennant will start with Garcia to come off the bench to show some magic.
Alonso Momo and Stevie in the middle, with Pennant and Gonzalez on the wings will be too much for Haifa to cope with. JP and MG will mean we can alternate between a 4-5-1 and a 4-3-3 formation, we're already aware of MG's ability to cut inside and play further up top with Crouch.
Its vital that we dont concede, which is why I think a 3/5 man midfield will be the way to go

If Stevie isn't 100% I reckon Pennant will start.

But I think the score will be 3 - 0, it's Momo's time.

[ronan]

cant say im worried about this fixture at all.
neutral ground, reds 2-1 up
i'd do the easy easy chant but the glove would kill me

[Resu]

Since they have to score I think we`ll have speed in attack, which would mean a start for Gonzales and Bellamy, with Crouch as the target man.

I have it down as a draw. Not confident at all.
