Looking ahead to the Blackburn Game

[Shaggy]

if i see sissoko/mash and kuyt vrononin i will cry and riise left mid will be icing on the cake

Gerrard apart, that is the 'front six' I dread. It's the pits. One goal threat out of a front six.

I think Riise will be reduced to squad player status with Arbeloa, Aurelio and Kewell fit again!!

Is Masher fit to play? I thought he picked up an injury?

He came on late against Cardiff and looked fit to me.

Mmmm better change my team prediction...

Been thinking a lot about this game and i dont see Crouch starting it at all.
IMO, he'll put Kuyt up front on his own and stick another man in midfield.
Momo will start, and theres no way on gods earth that Yossi, Babel or Kewell will start this game, tbh i dont even see Harry making the bench.
Rafa will go for strength and power and make us hard to break down and try and nick a goal from somewhere.
Scoreless draw for me, my main concern would be if they score first because i dont see us getting it back.

Itandje is out, not that I guess it makes much difference, martin will be on the bench

[FT9]

Gerrard NOT on bench

[bigfooty]

I really hope that isn't the case, it would once again smack of Rafa placing a higher priority on Europe.

[slimbimjim]

What is the starting XI?
