Besiktas - Match Thread

[Morph]

Sooooo probably,

Reina,
Finnan Hyypia Carragher Riise
Pennant Mascherano Gerrard Babel
Kuyt Voronin

not the team i'd have picked but i'm not the boss, seems bizarre to have wingers on and for Crouch to not be playing, even if Rafa has plans for him v Arsenal, he could surely do with a tune up match

[El Diego]

****ing good squad. should win easily

[Mattshark]

You a cricketer?

Nope but rain in Florida = lightning
Lightning + water = bad

[kurtangle01]

Why wont Rafa play Crouchy?

Decent team except i would have Crouch or Babel upfront.

He's on his way, surely? It seems that Rafa has ideas on how the team should play and those plans obviously don't include Crouch.

Two words: Fried Shark!

Yep. As strong as could be expected with the injuries we have had.

[Red_Al_77]

Excellent lineup with what I regard as a well balanced midfield. Could be very good tonight.

Certainly starting to seem that way.

Does raise the question, does he already have a deal lined up?

It's possible. Obviously if that's the case we're only playing him in the case of an emergency.

I dunno, I'm pissed cos it is not on ESPN and I have the afternoon off because of too much rain.

Too much rain gets the day off love it. I work in Birmingham but live in Manchester, got a nice drive home now, woooooooooooo!

[Shaggy]

Could we get any more defensive midfielders on the bench?

Expect moans quickly if Rafa fiddles with the positions and plays Voronin right midfield, Pennant in the center and Gerrard upfront.
