Starting XI for Sheff Utd?

[G_Man]

No Gonzo REDS?

TBH G mate, I think it will take him time to get used to the prem, he ain't the biggest of fellas. Maybe employed more at home than away where the more trusted Riise or Kewell will start.

Yeah maybe.

But I just have a hunch that Gonzalez will settle in pretty quickly...just a hunch...

like others im really struggling to nail on a starting 11 - i have to say though i think that whatever system is started with will be tinkered with throughout the game and will adapt to various situations - assuming we get Pennant i think that the first 11 will be like this

Reina
Finnan, Carra, Hyypia, Riise
Pennant, Stevie, Xabi, Momo, Kewell/Gonazlez
Bellamy

with the potential to bring crouch or fowler on and if Sheff Utd are trying to get physical i think we should bring the 'Drill' on for some experience (obviously i mean Paletta!!)

[Infadel]

It's all guesswork - the starting XI will depend on how the players train and fit into Rafa's plans. All things being equal I would like :

Reina

Finnan Caragher Hyypia Aurelio

Pennant Alonso Sissoko Gonzalez

Gerrard

Bellamy

Subs: Carson, Paletta, Riise, Garcia, Crouch
