... and if Marseilles and Besiktas win, then we will be totally our of Europe. Hopefully that will not happen!!!!

[Shanks]

Obviously going to include OUR SPINE

Carra, Gerrard and Torres.

Reasons for being subbed today.

I would rather see us finish fourth than third.

No point to play in the UEFA Cup. I know that it's another trophy but it's to many games to play before you reach the final and it would hurt our chances to win the league.

Do you honestly think that even if we didn't play another cup game this season we would win the league?

We are getting closer but still not good enough. Another busy couple of transfer windows with some serious backing should do it.

Personally, a UEFA Cup final would be nice. 15 minutes from home and looking at the state of the teams that could be in it, we would be firm favourites.

I know what you mean AF.

If it were up to me, I would treat the UEFA Cup with utter contempt and field as many reserves as possible.

[Shanks]

We'll beat Marseille.

If it were up to me, I would treat the UEFA Cup with utter contempt and field as many reserves as possible.

I would play with players like Nemeth and Hobbs for example in the UEFA Cup. Players that need experience or that need to play games to stay match fit.

Not any regular starting XI players at all.

We could end up missing out on a CL place next season if Torres for example would get injured playing in the UEFA Cup.

I can take it if he gets injured playing in the league or CL, **** happens, but if he got injured playing in a game he shouldn't even be considered playing in, then that would really make me

[MascheredUp]

Riise ****ed me off more than any other player today.

Apart from the freekick, everything he did was utter ****e.

He can't pass, can't defend, **** in the air and scud missiles are more accurate than his shooting.

There is no way I'd play him against Marseille.

If Finnan is fit, then Arbeloa on the left.

We need experienced heads, so Masch along side Stevie for me.

Reina
Finnan Carra Sami Arbeloa
Benayoun SG Mascherano Kewell
Crouch Torres

Unfortunately, I'm not sure if we could play anybody we didn't register with UEFA at the start of the season.

Our Champions League squad list is:

Goalkeepers

25 Pepe Reina
30 Charles Itandje
40 David Martin

Defenders

No Name
3 Steve Finnan
4 Sami Hyypiä
5 Daniel Agger
6 John Arne Riise
12 Fábio Aurélio
17 Álvaro Arbeloa
23 Jamie Carragher
39 Stephen Darby
44 Robert Threlfall *
46 Jack Hobbs *

Midfielders

No Name
7 Harry Kewell
8 Steven Gerrard
11 Yossi Benayoun
14 Xabi Alonso
16 Jermaine Pennant
20 Javier Mascherano
21 Lucas Leiva
22 Mohamed Sissoko
33 Sebastian Leto
34 Jay Spearing *

36 Ryan Flynn *

Forwards

No Name
9 Fernando Torres
10 Andriy Voronin
15 Peter Crouch
18 Dirk Kuyt
19 Ryan Babel
38 Craig Lindfield *

I think players with a * are those who are only illegible to play if the others aren't available.

[Chris]

Riise ****ed me off more than any other player today.

He's ****ing wank. Sorry I know he's somehow still got fans on here but he's awful.

Them two crosses in the 2nd half summed his last 18months or so up. One cross ****ed up, fair enough it happens, he then goes and does exactly the same thing about a minute ****ing later. We need better than him. And we've got better but Fab is always crocked and Finnan keeps getting injured meaning Alvaro cant go out there.

[kopash]

... and if Marseilles and Besiktas win, then we will be totally our of Europe. Hopefully that will not happen!!!!

if we were not to beat Marseilles I would prefer for this to happen and not be in UEFA cup. Then we can concentrate on the league 100%.

Kuyt/Kewell/Benayoun/Finnan will all start. Arebloa at left back (please!)

Isn't winning the UEFA worth summat like 10 million bones?

not that i'm even contemplating the fact of being in the uefa cup, but you can change your lineup in jan, otherwise how would new signings get a look in, might be different altogether if you drop into the uefa, but it's not goin to happen

[Gazzla]

After today I'm hoping we go for it big-time....grab the game by the scruff of the neck from the off.

-----------------------Reina------------------------

Arbeloa--------Carra-----------Agger(if fit)-------Riise

--------------------Mascherano---------------------

Benayoun-------------Gerrard-----------------Kewell


----------------Torres-----------Crouch-------------

That is the exact team I would pick if all were avaliable and bring on Babel with 30 minutes to go to freshen things up.

if that team play as they can do and we approach the game with the correct mentality we should win comfortably
