Much rather have Gerrard beside Masher and Benny behind Torres but we'll see how it goes

I'd agree with that and bring benny in for Lucas

I can see your logic but I think Rafa wants Chelse's holding midfielder occupied by Gerrard, this will hopefully push Chelsea back.

Kuyt is against Deco, he should destroy him

[tiktu]

What is Chelsea's XI? Think both Essien and Obi Wan will play...

yeah thats probably what hes thinking but for me we just aren't creative enough when Lucas and Masher play together.

So far anyway,maybe today that will change

[tiktu]

Well, I missed the train with Obi...

If that f*ck Ivanovic scores from a set peice I'll give him a Cheslea smile

[red g]

slightly dissapointed with line up, would definitely prefer to see stevie g in midfield and benni of torres.

2 master tacticians, cant decide if it will be a goalfest with both defences not at there best and cech out, or its going to be a boring goaless draw

[kingfunk]

0-0

[el matador]

we wont be able to get the ball to gerrard and the whole system wont work.
