Rafa makes it sound like one of the CBs is in for the holding role (even Sami).

"We have a number of options when deciding who can play alongside him. Jamie Carragher can play there, Sami Hyypia can play there because he has a lot of agility and very good stamina and I've also been talking to Daniel Agger who told me he used to play as a holding midfielder. We'll decide tomorrow."

I'm not claiming to have anything like Rafa's football knowledge.....but Sami? Agile?!?

[Rich]

Agile in a lumbering kind of way?!?

[leftpeg]

I think what he probably means is that he can jump a bit, and he doesn't panic when he needs to get around a man with the ball at his feet. And we all know that he can run the entire length of the pitch to watch another rubbish corner fail to beat the first man. So he's definitely got the stamina down. Who knows, it could be the second coming of Sami. Momo might not get back in the team for years.

Carra in the centre for me with stevie. Did alright in the world cup warm-ups and will be adequete for the pompey match in my eyes.

[Morph]

if we play a CB in the middle, it will just turn into a glorified 5-3-2 or a 3-5-2

Guthrie is not playing for the reserves today, but all the other youngsters named for tomorrow are.
A sign that he`s going to play at some point tomorrow?

Agger will be the man.He can tackle,is comfortable on the ball and has a cracking shot on him.

Gotta be Carra for me. Played well there for England, and used to play there a lot early in his liverpool career and done ok. Peltier on the bench as well just in case.

No I'd prefer Agger there. Carra is better at marshalling the defence and Agger is better at going forward.

[Endless Dream]

refer to my Carra, Stevie post above, Rafa's already thought it through, so expect to see either Agger or Carra there!

[jayjay]

Yeah. Agger in CM for me.

No brainer
