Team vs PSV

jaust a thought. perhaps if rafa actually thinks it's possible to play our best 11 andlet them settle as a team making only 1-2 changes per week we might actually start playing with a bit more fluency and variation?

Agree. That's what happened during our unbeaten league run last season.

I remember a statto telling me that Rafa didn't play the same 11 for 2 consecutive premiership games in his first season.

[desertscouser]

I take the point about Zenden but tonight he was one of the better players out there.

Fair enough

I think we need to go to 3-5-2

Riise/Aurelio/Gonzo left wingback
Finnan right wingback

Momo and Xabi in the centre with Gerrard pushing on

2 strikers, take your pick

Agger, Carra and Sami at the back.

Interesting...

I think Rafa already has that in mind...

and look what happened in that season in the league. yes we won the CL but the league form was woeful.

with the way Rafa keeps changing the team, do you reckon he knows his best 11 ??

I know, 10 defeats

[Sprouty]

MOM by a country mile = Dan Agger

That was a good result tonight. A point away from home in the first real champions league game with our big-time players rested is not to be sniffed at.

Dirky looks the biz too. I'd play him every game.

Well said Tom. I'm satisfied with that result.

[G_Man]

Could have been, I erased it from my memory (doesn't take much).

I'm fecked off tonight, I'm off to the gym.

Night all!
