Should Crouchy start on Tuesday?

[Welhung]

Crouch should start. He's not a world class player, but he'd be the dogs bollox against the arse in this game.

We need 2 strikers in a 442 formation. Torres on his lonesome up front is ineffective against the pace of the arses' defence.

We should just go for it.

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

Carra--------Hyypia----Skwertl the turtle---------Aurelio

Gerrard---------masch--------Alonso--------------Yossi

----------------Crouchie---------Torres---------------

[Harv]

yep, he should start.

I very much doubt that he will though.

Crouch and Torres will be too much for them to handle, we would be guaranteed a goal.

[El Jefecito]

No!

In the inter milan game at Anfield he did not touch the "This Is Anfield" sign.

Die dog.

[MrMichael]

Absolutely not.

We should play the first team, in the formation that has been established as our best, and one that the team knows how to play in. Now is completely the wrong time to mess about with anything, and that includes playing 4-4-2. We haven't got proper wingers, Gerrard will get over-run in midfield and we'll look dodgy at the back.

No no no NO NO!

4-2-3-1, Gerrard in the hole, Kuyt and Babel wide of him and Torres up top. Christ, everyone has a go at Benitez for not knowing what his best team is, now he does everyone wants to change that completely. Madness.

Crouch should be retained as an impact sub for this game.

My feelings exactly and I think Babel will have more of an impact at Anfield.

[WILF]

I voted yes , here's why

I don't think Babel will do much against the constant double marking of Eboue and Toure. So I think playing Torres , Gerrard and kuyt behind Crouch will be much more effective against Arsenal.

Torres has plenty of experience playing behind another striker, Stevie and Crouch have a good understanding and so we will have more of a goal threat.

Bring Babel on for the last 20 minutes or so as the Arse players are tiring after 3 hard games within 7 days, then he will be more destructive with his pace.

[Pablo]

He will come off the bench to score the winning penalty in the shootout after Reina saves from Fabregas and Eboue

[Shanks]

I voted no, for the usual reasons but I have a horrible feeling this game could do a bit of extra time, in which we could see the Crouch meister.




I do like the thought of this one though to accomodate him.

why not play torres in kuyts place,that would give arsenal something to think about

[Johnny]

4-4-2 with Crouch and Torres for the 1st half just to throw all off Wengers gameplans out the window.

Imagine the look on Wengers face.

Fuuucckkkk.

[Johnny]

Imagine the look on Wengers face.

Fuuucckkkk.

I remember a Mourinho interview saying his defence had no idea what to do with Crouch.Maybe rafa`s been keeping him until now as our not so secret weapon.

[mersey86]

I think the question should be should Plessis be involved - what a debut!!!

Actually the proper question before a big game is - has Harry Kewell recovered?

[Fiddy]

Imagine the look on Wengers face.

Fuuucckkkk.

'****. I sought zat lanky **** was going to be on ze bench'
