Totally agree with the team. Send Babel on for the last 25 or so to wreak his usual havoc on tired legs.

Benayoun will score the opening goal.

[Vermilion]

So JAR it is, Yossi starts too, says it's pissing it down at the bridge, who will a rainy wet slippery pitch suit best??

[Marky]

Interesting.

Benayoun starting ahead of Babel.

Also delighted that Essien's been taken out of the midfield. Lunacy.

Is that 442 ?

Same as usual if you ask me......4-2-3-1 with Yossi and Dirk in wide areas (nominally left and right respectively but likely to switch IMO).

There's a possibility that Gerrard and Yossi will be interchanging positions. He changed the game when he was moved in that position on Saturday.

And it's a clear indication that Rafa has put emphasis on keeping possession. Yossi will be less explosive but will keep the ball better.

Was just thinking that. Benayoun plays much better when playing through the middle.

To be honest all of the '3' can switch freely. I reckon Dirk & Yossi will start right and left respectively, but switch fairly often.

I also think he's a better dribbler of the ball than Babel and is good at finding openings
