Zenden

The Guardian has picked up on the injury now!!

I'm inclined to think it's true tbh

Carragher or Agger in midfield if it is? Although Carra has played there before I'd go for Agger because he's a better passer of the ball, and Carra and Hyypia have more of a partnership going than Agger and Hyypia. 5 at the back again with Agger pressed forwards when we have the ball? With Rafa, who knows?!

Bring in a young un'.

Yeah. Agger in CM for me.

Yep deffo agree with ye there Bob.

It makes the most sense, He'd be a good holding MF IMO and as we well know he can also march forward and shoot from distance.

If Bolo is genuinely injured then it would be Agger alonside SG for me

[mersey86]

If Bolo injured:
Reina,
Finnan, Agger, Carra, Riise
Pennant, Gerrard, Hobbs, Garcia,
Kuyt, Crouch.

Subs: Dudek, Hyypia, Palletta, Fowler, Bellamy/El Zhar

May seem odd to leave Sami on the bench but I think he'lll be needed more on Saturday.

Portsmouth also have a few injuries of their own.

We're absolutely stretched to the limit now. Not only is Zenden sh!te but he's injury prone as well.

JAR has played in the middle a couple of times for Norway, so this might happend.
He`s done OK while at CM, but I have my doubts about his positioning.

[Resu]

Maybe let Guthrie get a chance?

[Fan65]

Better get Diao back quick.....


Did I really say that...

JAR is the only left-sided player we have left though. Remember our left side is decimated too Warnock, Fabio, Kewell, SpeedyG are all injured.

He is a warm body tho'. Now we don't even have that!

[bazza76]

****ing no chance. He's dangerous to the extreme in that position. I'm hoping Rafa goes with Agger personally, though its a bit of a long shot i think.

Id consider playing with 5 midfielders and with Garcia playing as the lead attacking player ahead of SG and an other player, preferably Agger, do you know who else could play in midfield too, as he seems to have no problems coming deep and finding passes and is strong physically, Kuyt, although i'd be amazed if Rafa played him that deep, an advanced midfield role maybe?.

[dww]

I think that Paletta might be another option in DM. Not really a fan of playing CB's their to be honest but when he came I remember people were talking about how he had played that position for the Argentinian U20's. I would much rather have an established partnership at the back (I think our best is currently Agger and Carragher).

[tomasjj]

Peltier or Guthrie in the middle, with JAR on left mid, tucking in when defending to help out.
Agger or Carra at left back then.

[Rich]

Why can't Peltier get a game in the centre? He's big, strong and tidy in possession.

[El Jefecito]

I'm with you Cacodemon (oh for the Doom days). He's 20 now so he should be ready. He's been given a new contract recently, so Rafa obviously has high hopes for him.
