ok, nice bit of rotation, hopefully Pennant will pull his finger out and perform for us. Would like to see babel get involved a bit more for us today.

The midfield against Porto looked like strangers, hopefully playing them again will see an improvement.

Return of the tinkerman. Spend £21.5m on a striker...Quite simply...he's got to start every game when fit. The guy is on form...bizarre

[ningnangnong]

Will be interesting to see how Arbeloa does in his natural position as opposed to left back.

well we dont know if he's picked up a knock or just looked off the pace in training.

[ILLNEVERWALKALONE]

doe any one know where on the internet we can watch the game...I can see it is on Asiaplate.com, but only as a last resort.

[Sarb]

If he's unfit then fair enough, but if he's on the bench then not a good move to be honest. I hope I'm wrong though as we need to pick up three points with either Man U, Chelsea or both about to drop points tomorrow

Vital game

True, but when you buy a striker to win you the Premiership you kinda expect him to start Premiership games.

Too right Bigfooty, that was a very strange game that, we looked so out of it from the first minute. Disappointed that Torres ani't starting, but side looks good. Big game for JP this, he'll be getting ****loads off their mob

What like Chelsea, Sunderland, Villa and Derby? As it stands he's started all the Prem games bar coming on as a sub in one. We dont know what the story is with today yet.

that is one way to look at it, but you cant flog the lad to death!

Very true bigfooty and that's two in a row he hasn't started.

I was looking forward to seeing him ripping Brum apart.

Oh well.

We should still have more than enough to win this one.

[Chris]

He's on the bench along with Crouch, weird having two strikers on the bench so maybe there is a slight knock with Torres and its a case of if we're desperate with 10mins to go.
