Well......time to up that eversh1t result behind us and concerntrate on the trophy which we are gonna win come may 2007.... 

Hope rafa gets back to basic and picks his strongest side for this game....

No more "who performs the best in training"...No more "who is the most freshest" ...... Just pick the strongest team rafa and we will do fine. Yeah we have a stonger squad and all but this could be a disadvantage if rafa keeps chopping and changing his squad every match....


Anyway, coming to the champions league match....i would like to see -

1)Alonso dropped - Don't get me wrong...i like alonso and all, but he hasn't been performing well at all. He needs a few games on the bench

2)Gerrard has to be in the centre - All this about gerrard being a great RW is . The fact is gerrard is a such an awesome player that he can do a great job in any position. Give him RB and he will be great...Give him support striker and he will be great. But for Gerrard to fully impose himself, he has to be playing in the centre of midfield, with sissoko cleaning up behind him (Looks like we are missing hamann now). I also don't like that fact that gerrard always seem to cut in when playing RW, and that leave a lot of space for the opposition LB & LW to expose. So Gerrard has to be in the centre.

3)Make sure we play either Bellamy or Kujit every game. Fowler and Crouch combo is no different from Crouch and Morientes combo (Slow and unmobile strikers)...They just don't work..... (BTW, this is not a dig at crouch as i am starting to become a massive crouch fan. He just needs a more mobile striker to play off him...not Fowler).

Well...thats all folks.

Here is how my team line-up will be.

- Although hyppia looked slow, he always raises his game in the champions league...So start with him.

- Carra to play if he is fit...if not being in agger.

- Still not convinced with gonzales (i always knew that english league was a lot tougher to play in than the spanish league)... so i will start with garcia. Hope kewell recovers soon.

- Kujit has to start because he is so familiar with the dutch league..... (also cos crouch is looking preety knackered after the international matches).

Hoping for a scrappy 1-0 win.

after what I've seen today from Liverpool, they really must raise their game if they don't  wanna lose at Eindhoven. Beacause our 2 attackers (farfan and kone) are faster and better than that of everton and your defence really sucked today

no offence dude  but you will face a much different liverpool  you dont offer the same kind of threat that the bitters do...i dont mean this in a bad way but you are not as phisical as the bitters...  kuyt cant wait to get at you...

I realise now that we miss our captain, Cocu. He will be a great miss for us, without him we aren't as good as with him

Yep we will need to get better organised and play better too. But it has been less than a day and half since most of the first team were back from those poxy internationals, Kuyt included (though he looks great).

We should be in better shape for the next games, and you should certainly expect different perfromances.

Today was the first time we lost in 18 matches.. not bad going I'd say and but for some amateurish errors, the margin of defeat would not have been so flattering to the 'oppossition'.

[Well Red]

Reina HAS to be dropped. Bring back Dudek for a run of games

[onizukaeikichi]

time for dudek to take over reina IMO, kuyt should play as he knows the opposition more than any of our players. Hopefully the slap in the face today will kick start our season

[redsince2001]

more like kick in the nuts!

[Rush]

Reina HAS to be dropped. Bring back Dudek for a run of games

And when Dudek starts fecking up I suppose it will be time for Reina to have a run of games.

Rest Hyypia and let him get refreshed for the Chelsea game next weekend. Give Kuyt a start, stick with Alonso, he will play himself into form, even when he hasn’t got his passing game going his defesive work is superb. Bring Gonzalez in on the left to give us some width with Gerrard both going wide and coming in off the touch line from the right.

                     Reina

Finnan   Carragher   Agger   Aurelio

Gerrard    Alonso    Sissoko  Gonzalez

               Kuyt      Bellamy

That team looks good to me. Save Crouch and Hyypia for Chelsea.

It'll be a very difficult game no doubt about it. I'm tempted to say that I'd be happy with a draw, although I still maintain that we have the quality to beat them if we're switched on.

In many ways I'm glad Guus Hiddink has left PSV because he's the only manager who can match Rafa tactically in Europe imo. They've got some decent players still, Patrick Kluivert, Farfan (Forwards), Philip Cocu (Midfielder) and Alex (Defender). However when you look at the players they've lost in the last 2-3 years (Van Bommel, Kezman, Robben, Venegoor of Hesselink, Bouma) they're not what they used to be.

Kuyt has to start upfront because we're playing against opposition which he knows better than most. Bellamy should start alongside him. At the back, Agger should come in for the clearly unfit Carragher, who should be rested for the Chelsea game.

[molovinPSV]

I think that bellamy will have a tough night against alex, last week with Wales he was completely dominated bij alex

[Red Dotty]

Chance to get the season underway and boost the confidence ahead of the Chelski game.

2-0 away win

Reina
Finnan
Agger
Carra

We won it 5 times la la la la

I would be happy with a draw against you guys, though I (offcourse) prefer a win. But cocu will prove a real miss to us, he could be the man to outplay gerrard. I really fear him with his shots from outside the box
