i take it we will play Crouch.......that must be why he was rested for this big game.

by **The_Rock** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 4:52 pm

We will win it...... This is the best time to play chelsea as they don't have drogba.

Rafa has to go with a balanced team.

I think Babel must start up front for this one. Their defenders would have an easy time stopping voronin and kuyt. But they have a lot of problems defending against fast forwards.

Well John Terry has been ruled out for six weeks with a broken foot, so obviously they will be without him.

The only problem with that is Arsenals reserves/kids would tear apart ANY other teams second 11 and half of the Premierships first teams.

So what do we do if we make it far enough to play them, go with our first 11 ( what ever that is :oops:

) or mix and match, its a win win situation for Arsenal if they beat our second team they go through or win it if its the final, if they beat our first team

Rafa gets slaughtered of the press muppets and finally if they lose to our first team, "They are only kids"

Play a mix of kids and reserve players and save our better players for Portsmouth

intandja

finnan hobbs agger riise
masch leiva
Alonso
babel benayoun
torres

I'd say that would be welll balanced giving babel another start...
mixing experience and youth at the back .........
resting some key players gerrard,reina,carragher.......
seeing if the formation works well as a 4-3-3 notlike the other time putting kuyt and crouch on the wings :laugh:

putting yossi and babel with the extra cover for the back line with lucas and masch and alonso to be a provider of creativity and torres to finish the game

Not sure what kind of team to play might see Leto, probably Lucas, maybe put momo on display in the shop window (considering his form, he might just lower the price:( ) I would think Voronin would play Torres to rest, Alonso to come back, still doesnt sound like Agger is ready, Finnan to come back, Aurelio to start, not sure about resting reina or not. Hobbs might play (baptisim by fire) and not sure who needs the rest more between carra and hyypia
Reina
Finnan Hobbs Hyypia Aurelio
El Zhar Lucas Alonso Leto
Voronin Babel
Subs: Darby, Momo, Insua, Yossi,Crouch

by **ruskiy playmaker** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 2:28 am

JoeTerp-Chelsea would slice through that team like a knife through butter. I would at least put momo in there.

by **poolboyuk** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 3:12 am

I'd go for
Reina,
Finnan Carragher Arbeloa (If Hypia is too knackered), Riise
Gerrard, Sissoko, Alonso, Kewell
Torres, Babel

If we dont beat them, they will beat us and I hate to see that and futhermore normally Liverpool don't lose 2 in the row ... We must beat them ....GO LIVERPOOL !!!

by **Ciggy** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 5:52 am

Our reserves won 2-1 last night against Spurs Kelly & Lindfield scored, the team was:

Liverpool: Gulacsi, Kelly, Insua, Dominguez, Huth, Spearing, Crowther, Duran, Lindfield, Pacheco, Putterill. Subs: Nemeth, Bouzanis, Brouwer, Ayala, Bruna, Darby.

Players that didnt play Leto, Hobbs, Leiva, El Zhar so they will probably be in the squad for Chelsea.

by **Seano Kop** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 12:14 pm

I don't care that its just a minor Cup, it's still Chelsea, and I always want to beat a blue team! :laugh:

My team would be:

Reina

Carragher
Carragher
Carragher
Carragher

Gerrard
Gerrard
Gerrard
Gerrard

Torres
Torres

That'll stump them :laugh:

welcome! love the formation

by **Seano Kop** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 12:52 pm

If only we knew how to clone

But in all seriousness, my formation would be:

Itandje
Finnan
Hyypia
Carragher (just to make fun of the fact they dont have Terry)
Riise

Yossi
Mash
Gerrard
Kewell

Torres
Babel

I always want to beat Chelsea, I dont care what kind of match it is!
