maybe?

Was my thought when i first saw the line-up as well

Or possibly a 5-3-2 instead?

[ashey]

Agger's injured.

[-V-]

5-3-1-1

If you though the team for the portsmouth game was bad.................

I'll just go find somewhere to hang myself

[SK]

it's rafa's gamble, and if it doesn't pay off, he'll be under immense pressure not only because of the result but because he put 6 defenders, 2 holding midfielders, a work horse and a young striker in the lineup for a must win game..

on a positive side, the bench does look like capable of changing the course of the match.

hope we win, but i'm not to confident.

This in my opinion is were Rafa fails he thinks too much about what the other team will do, if we played an attacking line up and played with pace and width we would take them apart

[Taxi]

holy ****ing ****

[red g]

that is a horrible horrible line up devoid of flair, imagination and creativity....

this is going to be painful to watch

[Bender]

why not give pancheo a start rather than be on the bench .....

[Chris]

We've got to fluke a goal from somewhere and hold out defensively, because if that team goes a goal behind there is not a chance we're winning this match.

we set up defensively and still let in stupid goals.

bye bye rafa

Hang about, Lee Mason did the Portsmouth game too didn't he? Were for a complete re-run

[sambirken]

Everyone's complaining. But think about it.

We played what most people think is our starting eleven on Wednesday and look what happened!!

We have to let Rafa get on with it. Pick the team he wants to.

I think this is one of the things that have gone wrong lately. Remember when he first came, he always picked a team that confused the pundits and internet warriors and it was successful.

I'm looking forward to it.

only 1 defender on the bench? mind u 9 playing haha!!!
