Team for Brum?

[Shaggy]

Reina

Arbeloa
Carra
Hyypia
Aurelio

Pennant
Gerrard
Sissoko
Riise

Torres
Voronin

Can't see Momo and Gerrard playing together. No chance.

I'd go:

Reina

Finnan
Carra
Sami
Riise

Pennant
Mascherano
Gerrard
Aurelio

Torres
Crouch

Surely time to give Arbeloa a well-earned rest, allowing Riise to get some match-fitness back and easing Fabio back in a midfield role.

[Joe King]

Reina

Finnan
Carragher
Hyypia
Arbeloa

Pennant
Mascherano
Gerrard
Babel

Torres
Crouch

This is our most attacking team and Rafa will want a response. Riise and Aurelio to get a game in midweek. All to be rested against Reading.

Aye, i'd go with that but Kuyt for Crouch. Think Reading is better for Aurelio like you say and Lucas and co aswell then giving the first team a week without a game.

Kuyt ran his socks midweek, will be rested, IMO

Cant see it, he was rested at Pompey despite playing neither game for Holland.

Toure is far better on the ball and Momo's not really a "stay in one place" type of player. I couldnt think of anything worse to be honest

Toure was very similar when he 1st arrived and still gets caught out sometimes, still i see your point but twas only a just in case we have an emergency suggestion. Wouldn't mind seeing whathe could do in a nothin game like on wed.

I think i'd rather stick Crouch at CB than Sissoko if it came to it

anyway getting back to the thread topic we have to start with our strongest team get 2-3 goals up then start resting players so that means stevie and torres to start

I'm expecting a strong side, expecially considering we only have a CC match in midweek, i think i'm looking forward to that match more tho, hope we get to see the likes of leiva, leto, insua

Arbeloa has played every game and should get a deserved break.Lucas has to play some time or he will go again.I would try Gerrard behind Torres.

Gerrard, in thee hole has been a disaster. He should be in the middle with Kuyt playing the supporting role. Did you see the CL final???????????

Ya he had a few chances and missed them.With a striker like Torres ahead of him i'm sure Gerrard could pick out his runs and maybe chip in with a goal himself.Have you watched him play????????Did you see how they linked against Chelsea for the goal and how he linked with Owen who is another pacey player who makes great runs.Gerrard is so good he could play every position for us bar striker.He could adjust to it given time.
