Wigan build-up

[byrnolegend]

Not happy, not happy one bit.

Why play three centre backs against ****ing Wigan at home??? Degan should be playing right back and Carra in beside Agger.

Why put Insua back in when Aurelio's fit???

Why no Aquilani??? wtf is going on there.

Why no Torres??? If he's fit to be on the bench then surely he's fit enough to start.

Joke.

Surely this adds credence to story I heard at work that if he starts a PL game before Christmas we pay 5 million as part of one of the clauses? Anyone else heard such ramblings?

This aquilani situation is getting completely baffling now though. so hard to understand what the issue us.

[Shaggy]

Playing for a draw imo

[Daffy Duck]

Reina
Carra Agger Skrtel Insua
Benayoun Gerrard Masch Aurelio
Kuyt N'gog

Because I really can't see how would anyone want to put Aurelio into central midfield while having Lucas and Aquilani on the bench.

[Kenneth]

Yep, ****ing barmy.

[Rich]

What's Skrtel doing in the team

[andrewces38]

Im amazed at this line up and even more amazed at the bench 3 defenders and a defensive midfield?......where's the like of Pacheco , ecclestone? el zhar surely Rafa needs attacking options?...............we need to win this for his sake and Kuyt is playing AGAIN

To be fair it IS a good set up but I cant see Rafa using it and where's Kelly?

From offal's twitter
FC team to face Wigan: Reina, Carragher, Skrtel, Agger, Insua, Kuyt, Mascherano, Aurelio, Benayoun, Gerrard, Ngog.

So

---------Reina---------
Carra Skrtel Agger Insua
----Mascher Aurelio----
--Kuyt Gerrard Bennie--
---------N'Gog---------

With Torres and Aqua coming on if we can't break them down...that team should beat Wigan...should...

Reina
Carra Agger Skrtel Insua
Benayoun Gerrard Masch Aurelio
Kuyt N'gog

Aye that would need to be it. 4-4-2

Young N'gog needs someone up there beside him.

I wouldn't put it past Rafa. He's liable to do anything. Remember that this is the man who once played Bolo Zenden in central midfield against Arsenal instead of Gerrard.

[Kenneth]

I don't think that has any credence at all.

[Kenneth]

Don't think Kelly is fit.

He's a tactical genius. Skrtel at right back, Kewell on right wing, heck even Bolo Zenden in the Champions League final!
