Arbeloa at CB, 3 central midfielders...

[Sprouty]

Alonso not even made the bench again?

[MrMichael]

Just a general note after some of the recent debacles on here - Today's match thread will be full of insightful and well considered posts, there will be no bitching, wuming, narking or e-penis comparing please.

Thanks

Arbeloa at CB, 3 central midfielders...

Is that the news or a supposition? Bang goes my team prediction for another week if its the latter

[Chris]

3 central midfielders...

Good, we drew at Chelsea with it and beat Inter with it. People whinge if he keeps changing, well now he isnt

[bigfooty]

It's almost the same team that played Inter, but whilst I could understand being cautious against Inter I'm not sure the same applys to the mighty Boro.

Babel, Torres, Kuyt, Gerrard, Lucas gets forward, not sure how it's cautious exactly

Did you actually watch the Inter game? If thats cautious then I'd love some more of that please.

[El Jefecito]

Maybe Rafa is really going to cut back on the rotation. Would have been an unchanged lineup but for Carra's suspension.

[MrMichael]

Yeah right.

You are very optimistic.

I have 2 important buttons that make me so. The delete button, and the "sinbin user till the game is well over" button (well, its more a menu than a button that one).

You do recall them going down to 10 men and spending the majority of the game with them all behind the ball?

The last time Lucas, Gerrard and Mascherano started together at home in the Premiership Lucas was played as a left-winger. We won the game but it's something to keep in mind.
