Yossi has a decent scoring record (11 goals in 44 appearances), and Babel is quite effective as a sub.

And Drogba is a diving :censored:

, not relevant but nonetheless true

not too much of a suprise concerning riise seeing as aurelio knacked himself in the last game. the babel bennynoon thing will probably be the reverse of the way he does it normally. expect babel on around the hour mark.

Yossi wanted the big games and they dont come any bigger that this.

I just hope he isnt another Zendan

Riise in for Aurelio and Benayoun for Babel!

Rafa pulls a surprise again!

Yeah, most of us thought/hoped Aurelio would start ahead of Riise even when injured!

Chelsea: Cech, A Cole, Makelele, Essien, Carvalho, Lampard, J Cole, Drogba, Ballack, Kalou, Terry.

Liverpool: Reina, Riise, Gerrard, Torres, Benayoun, Alonso, Arbeloa, Kuyt, Mascherano, Carragher, Skrtel.

No freakin´Crouchie? Bet he comes on at half time regardless of the score.

Im actually glad Riise is starting he will work his balls off tonight to make up for that o/g id say!
Im surprised at Benny for Babel.
Benayoun keeps the ball better,maybe thats what Rafa has been thinking!

My pessimistic side has now kicked in due to the fact that those other c*nts are now in the final waiting for a winner in this game. I just think the worst. No doubt we'll now have some stinking luck in this game or in the final. It's always usually the way against them b@stards, though in saying this, our cup record against the top four has been spot on in recent years. I seriously believe that only the officials can now stop us from winning this competition.

Wise for babel to be on bench. There is a good chance this will go to ET, he will be frightening as an impact sub.

COME ON LADS!!!

Him running at tired legs late on has to be the best plan, if he's needed. I can't see this being anything other than tight, substitutions could be critical and I just hope Rafa gets his right

exactly what i think rafa has in his mind. pennant and babel running at you with fresh legs in the last 30 mins or extra time will be hard to cope with.
