    Nowhere near enough quality there. ****ing hell. The trio of Kuyt, Downing and Adam worries me enormously. Time to step up boys.
    I am worried too.

    Feel little bit better with Jay in the lineup but offensively I don't think we have anything to offer.

      I'd like to see 433, with Kuyt and Downing either side of Carroll.
      If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

          The worry for me, is that the way to compete against these is to actually give them problems as well as stopping them. I think we'll be looking to contain them and hit them on the break (without any pace). Trying to contain them at their place is dangerous, keeping them at bay with that kind of mentality is going to be ****ing difficult.

          The one thing that pleases me is that they're only going for 3 proper attacking players in Silva, Aguero and Dzeko. I was expecting them to play only one of Milner and Barry, alongside Yaya Toure. So in a sense, we've got the back four plus the protectors, to deal with what is essentially just three big attacking threats.

            Thought Kuyt did quite well when coming on against NUFC.

              around the 70th minute, then I believe we have a real chance coping with them. Until then, I don't see it, hopefully I'll be proven wrong (as I was many times before luckily )

                  If we can keep the tie for about 60 minutes until both Bellamy and Stevie are ready for their shifts I think we'll be fine.

                  Otherwise we might be in for a long night.

                    We've set up to frustrate them and hit them on the break. Only problem is, our attacking four players have no pace. Counter attacking with players like Gerrard and Bellamy is an altogether more prosperous option.

                      I hope it isn't like last year's 3-0 defeat, that was one of the worst nights in a long time. especially as they scored early and dominated us

                        Set up not to lose. Hopefully still 0-0 at 60 minutes when subs might make a difference.

                        I'm worried about Adam in the engine room, he's been off the pace lately.

                          Charlie Adam's set pieces will need to be much improved and with their big defenders, Carroll will need to find some aggression.

                            Aye.

                            The lineup offensively is set up to try to provide deep coverage for our fullbacks but beyond that I cannot see of how we will create any chances with our lack of mobility upfront.

                            That said, you never know.

                            We did see strange things develop so many times this year.

                              Fair evaluation IMO.

                                It's the same team as against Newcastle FFS, bar Kuyt for Bellamy as we know he can't play 2 in quick succession.

                                I think we'll win, Carroll and Dirk will destroy them.
