so then team for blackburn?

[ronan]

reina
finnan carra sami riise
pennant gerrard alonso garcia
bellamy fowler
i reckon...

[friedk]

that would be nice, but I'd prefer

Reina
Finnan Carra Sami Riise
Garcia Gerrard Alonso Gonzales
Bellamy Fowler

Would be great to see Anderson on the bench.

[Resu]

I`m not sure we`ll see sami as he played twice for Finland (I think).
So it could be a choice between a injured Agger and a tired Sami.

[Jack D Rips]

Is Agger definitely out?. Sami played in Kazackstan on Wednesday night. Doubt if he got back until last night at the earliest

---------------Reina-----------------
---Finnan---Carra-Hyypia---Aurelio---
--Pennant-Gerrard-Zenden-Gonzalez--
----------Bellamy-Fowler-------------

Bench

Dudek
Paletta
Garcia
Alonso
Riise

Thats what i'm thinking will happen, but there are a few questions:

If Hypiia is knackered and Agger is injured, will Rafa try Paletta, he should have been at Melwood all week.

Are we likely to see Alonso rested for Zenden and Gerrard move into the middle?

With Aurelio and Gonzalez training at Melwood all week, will they be the first choice left side and give Riise a rest?

[Jack D Rips]

If Agger, Kuyt & Momo arn't fit I go for:

Reina
Finnan
Carra
Sami
JAR
Stevie
Xabi
Bolo
Speedy
Bellamy
Crouch

[Shaggy]

Not a clue.

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



finnan--------Carra------Sami-------------Riise




Luis---------Gerrard-----Alonso-----------Speedy





------------Bellamy-------Fowler------------



Rafa fancied the Bellamy-Fowler partnership in preseason and with bellers having not traveled, i think he'll go with him over Crouch.

Also, blackburn are goo at the back in the air so a little extra movement will be needed.

If Crouch misses out AGAIN it'll be the fifth game out of the last six that he hasn't started. The only game he did start he scored two good goals including a wonder goal.

Pick the man FFS Rafa.

[Morph]

I'm just going with what I think Rafa will pick, idealy I wouldn't pick Zenden either.

[Rich]

What I think Rafa will go with:

Reina
Finnan - Carragher - Agger - Warnock
Pennant - Gerrard - Zenden - Aurelio
Fowler - Crouch
