pick your team against Chelsea

[Pablo]

I'd go:

Reina
Finnan Carra Sami Riise
Pennant Gerrard Masch Yossi
Torres Crouch

Although I'm confident that won't be Rafa's team

I agree with this and I actually think its what Rafa might start with. Babel to come on as an impact sub in the second half.

[MattB]

I want to see us go there and play 442, but expect to see 451

Personally I think Rafa won't go with two out and out strikers. My guess would be that he'll either go 451 or Torres up front with Kuyt off him

[Fubar]

i think in this game we have to stick to carra and sami at the back but i also think we will get battered if we only play 1 up front. start torres and crouch and have yossi playing to provide the chances

[mersey86]

Reina
Finnan Carra Sami Riise
Pennant Gerrard Mascher Benayoun
Torres Kuyt

[Imy]

Reina
Carra Skrtle Hyypia
Finnan Blah blah blah Riise
Mascha
Gerrard Lucas Babel
Torres

something different to keep Grant on his toes.

[Kloppster]

Reina

cant see Rafa starting both Lucas and Babel agains Chavs, not experienced enough

Insua Hobbs Skrtel Threfall

Pennant Alonso Leiva Leto

Kuyt Lindfield

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

If Rafa picks Kuyt for this one I'm done with him.

Ah, I see you beat me to it.

[saveferris]

Reina
Carra Agger Hyypia Finnan
Yossi Gerrard Masher Riise
Crouch Torres

[rage]

in the scheme of things trying to get a point here and lining up with only one striker is a stupid idea.

Crouch and Torres have the making of a partnership, would love to see them start together.

This is too big a game for skeletor, so carra and hypia at the back with finnan and arbeloa/riise as the fullbacks.

gerrard and masch in the middle, yossi on the left and as much as it pains me pennant on the right.

Reina
Finnan Carra Hypia Arbeloa/Riise
Pennant Gerrard Masch Yossi
Crouch Torres

Babel as a 2nd half impact player and Lucas to come up and strengthen the midfield and defend a lead after we take torres off after he scores his hat trick!
