Masch on the bench? hmmm

[-V-]

Agger n Mascher rested. Interesting looking line-up that.

................King Pepe
Johnson.....Soto.....Carra......Insua
Maxi........Lucas......Gerrard......Benni
..............Kuyt..........Torres

I suppose Kuyt will drop off alot though.

I'm a little disappointed with that line-up. I think Birmingham will take encouragement from the fact that we have weakened our team. Fingers crossed that Rafa knows best though.

The pitch or the radar ?

Thought Babel may have started considering he won't be on Thursday. It's a pretty attacking looking line up with Mascherano on the bench.

Was just thinking that...for an away game .

We need to win it so we need to take on more risks. Shame we didn't do this earlier in the season when we could actually afford to take on risks.

Disagree. We were playing piss poorly earlier in the season and taking risks wasn't even in the equation, we were trying not to lose games.

Streams anyone for our non UK viewers...?

[little dave hedgehog]

maybe agger is getting rested here to prepare for a bigger job running on thursday, down the left?

strange decision to leave babel out who will be fresh and i won't matter if he's tired on thursday, but i guess they need to publicly shame him for some reason.

also interesting to see aquilani back.

Disagree. We were playing piss poorly earlier in the season and taking risks wasn't even in the equation, we were trying not to lose games.

Also..to a certain extent..an large element of risk was already imposed on us...by the very nature of the team we were able to field due to injuries.
