Internazionale Build up thread

[the rev leeroy brown]

Must be a good side. But I'm hardly ****tin' myself at the prospect of facing that XI.

i think i can hear mancini saying the exact same thing!

[JPK]

Reina

Finnan - Carra - Hyppia - Riise

Pennant - Masch - Xabi - Babel
Gerrard
Torres

Subs:Kuyt,Crouch,Yossi,Lucas,Skrtel,Aurelio,Charle s

Liverpool 0-4 Inter

Liverpool 0-4 Inter

We will win. Benitez will out fox them

[Nic83]

liverpool 2- Inter 1

Won't be down to Benitez though. It will be down to the fans raising our players performance for a usual Anfield European night.

[-V-]

The match will be won in Midfield. If we go at them from the whistle and attack them then id like to think we should have the pace and power to trouble them.

We should have a faster and more intense midfield than them. If Gerrard, Pennant and Babel can run at them then i can see us winning it

Oh and I'll be there. I have never ever watched us lose so i hope my good luck continues

[Nic83]

I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves babel on the Bench. He'll probably start Pennant and leave Kuyt in there partnering Torres.

[-V-]

No im guessing Babel was taken off early to rest him for Inter. I think he'l play Pennant right wing and Babel left wing

Cruz will probably play upfront with Zlatan.

Hope so, I hate playing against Crespo. He's a weapon.

I see they rested Ibrahimovic at the weekend too in preparation for us.h:

Cruz is better than Crespo and Suazo. Probably the best striker in the air in Serie A and excellent holding the ball up.

A very underrated player.

[RoadEnd]

I think Rafa will play the Youth team. We've got a tough home game against Middlesboro at the weekend.

[Parm]

In all this chaos, we've got a slightly important game coming up in just over 50 hrs time. I think we can safely assume Gerrard and Torres will start. I hope we set ourselves up like we did against Juve.

My lineup?

Reina

Finnan -- Carra -- Hyypia -- Aurelio (if fit)

Benni -- El Jefe -- Stevie -- Babel

Crouch -- Torres

spot on, think we're in for a special night

[wavydavy]

Suazo scored two against Livorno so he'll probably start (although Crespo has a history of scoring against us)

---------------- Toldo -----------------
Maicon -- Materazzi -- Cordoba -- Zanetti
------------------Cambiasso------------
-------------Vieira----------------------
----Figo ------------------ Stankovic----
----------Ibrahimovic -- Suazo---------

A lot of our members seem obsessed regarding how poorly backed Rafa's been financially. How much did the Inter team cost to assemble? Were all these players bought for top money or brought in relatively cheaply from South America? Just curious. No more than that.

[AFII]

Stankovic and Vieira are only half fit and very doubtful for the game. Would be good for us if they played if you consider that they are a long way from being match fit.
