Anyone think we may risk 3 at the back?
Finnan Carra Aurelio/Riise
Masch
Kewell Gerrard Babel
Benayoun/Voronin
Kuyt Crouch
Yeah not bad. But no Kewell on the right. Play Benayoun there. Something like
Finnan Hyppia Carra
Mash Momo
Yossi Gerrard Babel
Kuyt Crouch
We either win 10-0 or lost 4-0. We can't afford to hang on to a 1-0 lead and cough it up in the last minute.
Beşiktaş have injuries at fullback. Their wings look weak - I watched the Fenerbahce game and they didn't have much to offer on the wings - everything came up the middle through tight and concise passing. The only time they put a dangerous cross into the box was in the 95th minutes and they scored - only to have it ruled off.
If we choke the middle of the park with MomoMash, we may be able to get away with 3 out and out defenders.
Problem is, we've shown fuck all on the wings ourselves. We also have shown a fantastic resiliency at the back but fuck all up front. Is it wise to throw the book out the window and bet it all on a sputtering attack?
Babel seems to have a magnet in the middle of the park the way he cuts in, and the right wing has been, well, abysmal recently. But I guess that par for the course when we play a centre-forward in that position.
Either way - we aren't up against a team that's gonna run us ragged down the lines.
