[REDSCOUSER]

GARCIA was one of the better players in the 1st half, switching left and right. Alonso was ****, he must be subbed off in the 2nd half for Pennant, Gerrard goes back to cm.
Crouch was **** as well, kuyt will come in for him.

LETS KEEP THE FAITH

[Red_Al_77]

Rafa got it wrong with his initial lineup. Lets hope he's put things right at HT.

[Cantankerous]

Come on lads, we must BELIEVE!

Remember Istanbul, remember Kenilworth Road last season.

We can win this

*sings* You'll NEVER walk alone!

That's the attitude G-Man. We all remember those, s just the fact that we're losing to them that is depressing me.

Come on lads, get out there and goddamn spank them!

[OldManRed]

What, no changes??

[Red_Al_77]

Pennant, Kuyt, and Riise warming up.

[TheStig]

Kuyt for Crouch!

[red-or-dead]

I missed who went off?

[OldManRed]

Horrible image from the radio "Kuyt and Alonso involved in a sandwich with Phil Neville" - shudders

[Red_Al_77]

We are a bit headless chicken at the moment.

this is extremely hard to stomach xabi is not in it stevie is in and out robbie is hardly in it aurelio is abysmal carra is not fit this is hard

[Cantankerous]

Alonso looks like he needs a rest from footie for a while. He's just not been anything like the Xabi we know from the last 2 years... Esp not the Xabi from the match at Anfield last year...

[blacky]

Come on Kuyt you could be a legend if you bagged a hatrick today?

[rodo]

pennant for xabi please

[nbryan1764]

its strange last season we recognised that we desperately needed pace so we bought bellamy, pennant, and gonzales. Today we desperately need pace, so we will pick errrr..........

[TheStig]

Finnan close with a decent effort.
