Would you risk Alonso today?

[glynner]

I'd be really tempted to throw him into the side.

When he came back against Arsenal, he looked in good form, and we had a geater urgency to our play while he was on the field, especially first half

He also used his experience early to get the free kick which Gerrard scored from

I'd love for us to line up like this:

---------Reina-------
SF/AA--Carra--Hyppia--Riise

-----Alonso----Masher--

------Gerrard------

Benny---Torres---Kewell

[Armchairkopite]

I'd go with all that.

[Darth Marty]

nah. we will beat the scum if we line up as we did against marseille. Keep xabi until hes 100%

[Marky]

No way would i risk him in such a fixture. Even having him in the squad is a risk.

[Dan]

I'd love to see that formation but dont think Alonso should be risked

bench most likely

I wouldn't even have him on the bench. A match fit Lucas is a better option.

I would give him 45-60 minutes against Chelsea in the CC and take it from there.

I dunno, he's been out ages and will be a little rusty. Better off sticking with Masher.
