NO fekking Keane... Glad to see Babel tho

Flame1845 · « **Reply #3 on:** January 28, 2009, 06:59:27 pm »

Riera should've started.

Raz · « **Reply #4 on:** January 28, 2009, 06:59:30 pm »

Kuyt on the bench?!

thredworm · « **Reply #5 on:** January 28, 2009, 06:59:37 pm »

As predicted there's a few 'restings' in there. Keeping Xabi and Dirk fresh for Sunday.

Yes!

£60m+ on the bench!

Helsinki Red · « **Reply #8 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:00:33 pm »

Babel was poor on sunday. Hopefully he'll do well tonight.

Come on you Reds! This is a must win.

Adeemo · « **Reply #9 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:00:47 pm »

Lucas to run the midfield and Babel to score, me thinks.

y2w902 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:00:53 pm »

Liking that team, although I'm dissapointed in no Alonso. Not bothered about Keane, he will play when Rafa wants him to.

AdamR · « **Reply #11 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:00:56 pm »

Wow dirk has lost his immunity from being rested.

The 2 in the middle need to be grafting hard tonight in order for us to get 3 points.

AhmedAlonso14 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:01:16 pm »

would've prefered to see riera start instead of yossi. but anyway, come on u reds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TALBERT · « **Reply #13 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:01:20 pm »

KUYT on the bench utter madness sack Rafa now!

scouser4eva · « **Reply #14 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:01:21 pm »

Im giving Lucas one more chance, if he plays shit today im gonna slate him all season.

G1 Jockey 4(betfair) · « **Reply #15 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:01:23 pm »

well done rafa.

i like the thinking.
now the fullback ballance is better bring the kid back.

put gerrard back where he does well.
add a bit of pace and link play with babel and beni.

booooooooooooooooooooooooooom

come on the reds

felix. · « **Reply #16 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:01:30 pm »

ohoho no kuyt! i can't believe it! i thought he would never be left out for a tough away game, even i would have played him.

good strong team.

Phil M · « **Reply #17 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:01:43 pm »

Good team imo, good to see Ryan Babel start again.
Possibly our most reliable back four not taking anything away from Agger/Sami.

I knew he'd leave Keane out, hopefully we start at a good tempo and are able
to take our chances tonight.

Journalists and pundits are already writing there lines should we fail to take all three points tonight.

Good side though and plenty of options on the bench should we need come. Come on Redmen!

EndOfTheStorm · « **Reply #22 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:02:37 pm »

Another dangerous team selection

This is our priority. Riera should start. Alonso should start.

Its 3 points or bust tonight.

Babel first goalscorer you can see it happening

Mooncat Sundog · « **Reply #25 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:03:05 pm »

Babel needs to improve ten fold on his last showing. That and 3 points will be enough from tonight.

Clonsilla Red · « **Reply #26 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:03:11 pm »

im just prayin lucas plays better than his last start at stoke......

Riera should've started.

I agree. It seems that, instead on injecting pace into our attack Babel seems to slow it down by misplacing a pass or losing the ball 80% of the time.

He does need form though. More matches hopefully will equate to an in-form Babel.

Djibriliant · « **Reply #34 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:04:26 pm »

I'm glad Babel has been given another chance to get a run of games, and some form behind him, he just needs to pull his finger out.

Come On RedMen!!!!

shelovesyou · « **Reply #35 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:04:27 pm »

I wanna see Arby and Aurelio down the flanks behind the defenders tonight please Rafa , get some balls into the box

Fiend · « **Reply #36 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:04:32 pm »

Alonso must not be 100% after his 7 stitches. Hope Lucas puts on a performance. I still think he'll be a quality player.

eitzel · « **Reply #37 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:04:59 pm »

Im a bit worried about this line up(Rafa's reluctance to make changes early doors and so on)

Winning this one is pretty massive....plenty of scope with that selection to increase the pressure if we lose

gazzalfc · « **Reply #38 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:05:06 pm »

Nice to see Agger back in the squad after his ''knock''
