I'd say Rafa is expecting a lot of high balls into the box!Smart move.
He's started rotating already.theres no way Hyypia will start the next game!!

haha - all jokes aside though, it is good to see that Rafa is sticking with a pretty consistent system.

Sami didn't last too long in the corresponding fixture last season , and Carra got injured as well...... hope we can get through this game without any injuries.

Very surprised at Rafa leaving Alonso out, but think playing Hyypia instead of Agger was a smart decision.

I am still confident we can win quite comfortably, if we can weather the storm and grab an early goal. Hopefully Keane will break his duck and take a bit of the pressure off.

Alonso got a knock in Belgium and gerrards not 100% suppose he doesnt want to risk the two of them getting injured.
