Pre-Match Build Up - Galatasaray 05 Dec 2006

[Shaggy]

Pick a team from this lot!



Steven Gerrard was one of several members of the first-team squad left behind as Liverpool flew out for their Champions League clash against Galatasaray in Istanbul.

Liverpool top their group, giving manager Rafael Benitez the opportunity to rest key men.

Skipper Gerrard, Jose Reina, Sami Hyypia and Steve Finnan were all left behind - none is injured.

Benitez brought in a host of youngsters, including full-back Stephen Darby, captain of last season's FA Youth Cup-winning side, for his first call-up to the senior squad.

Other youngsters included were Danny Guthrie, Lee Peltier, goalkeeper David Martin and midfielder Miki Roque.

Team (from): Dudek, Agger, Riise, Alonso, Crouch, Fowler, Pennant, Bellamy, Kuyt, Carragher, Paletta, Luis Garcia, Guthrie, Peltier, Darby, Martin, Anderson, Roque.

Desperately wanna see Anderson start...

No doubt he wont though.

[dww]

I thought Roque was a defender, am I mistaken. To be honest I'm really looking forward to seeing some of the youngsters play.

He is mate yeah. Can play in midfield when required though as hes comfortable with the ball at his feet.

Aye you’d have thought so. My only knowledge of CL squad registration stuff is from Footy Manager, naturally, and I know in that you have to register 25 players max.

Can anyone shed any light?

Just to add to the already said registration date:

Squad list A:

Each club may not have more than 25 players on List A during the season.
As a minimum, places 22 to 25 on List A (four places) are reserved
exclusively for “locally trained players” and each club may not have more
than two “association-trained players” listed in places 22 to 25 on List A. List
A must specify the four players who qualify as being “locally trained”, as well
as whether they are “club-trained” or “association-trained”.

Squad list B:

Each club is entitled to register an unlimited number of players on List B
during the season.
A player may be registered on List B if he is born on or after 1 January 1985
and has been eligible to play for the club concerned for any uninterrupted
period of two years since his 15th birthday by the time he is registered with
UEFA.
