[*]Well now we are the only English club that have not gotten a point in matchday two of the Champions League. Chelsea beat Porto 3-1 and now we have to face them on Sunday.
It will be interesting on what kind of game plan Benitez will come up with. Will he go with the 4-5-1 formation as always when we play away or 4-4-2? Will he have Cisse and Baros up front from the get go or will he bench Cisse and have Garcia and Baros in front?
Rafael Benitez vs. Jose Mourinho
UEFA Cup Manager vs. Champions League Manager
Tactician vs. Tactican
Liverpool vs. Chelsea
Jerzy Dudek isn't horrible but he really shouldn't start against Chelsea. This is the time when we use Christopher Kirkland. I think he has waited long enough for his start of the season. Even in the pre-season in America Kirkland was better than Dudek and I think it is important that we have a good keeper against the likes of the Blues.
If Hyypia wants to be a leader of this team he needs to step-up once again like he did when he was captain before Gerrard. Finnan shouldn't be played against big clubs, and this is the time to bench him.
Harry Kewell doesn't deserve a start. To me he doesn't want to be here, it seems that he doesn't really care whether we win or lose. Considering that Duff will start for Chelsea, we can't afford to play Kewell.
Cisse will have to stop being offside, it is very irritating. It will take him to settle here but his the 2nd ranked player with the most offsides in the Champions League as of now [7 total].
This has to be the day for Alonso to shine, not just against Norwich but against big and tough opponents.
I don't know what to expect, it's up to the players whether they are really eager to bounce back. Super Stevie isn't here to rescue us, time to do this on our own.
