Hmmm. Don't know i'd agree, but I still think Rafa will go for more of a 5 man midfield. Obviously with Stevie pushing forward, but what we have to make sure we don't do is let Lampard (fat fuck) get hold of the game. If he does, then with Cole and Duff/Robben out wide, it's going to be mighty difficult not to be drawn deep. I'm starting to worry!!

To be fair, that is the team that got us here, so he should stick with it.

Baros will probably get a hatrick now. He's due a goal. Lets hope and pray it's Tuesday.

If he doesn't score a goal in any of the remaining games, I can see him being sold in the summer.

he's been 'due' a goal for fuckin ages and i dont think he'll score again this season!

(now he'll go and get 10 more b4 the season ends)

Tony19:6 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 30, 2005, 07:00:18 pm »

For me

Baros
Garcia
Kewell Hamann Gerrard Nunez
Riise Sami Carra Finnan
Dudek

Thought both Nunez and Kewell played well today.
Riise has been superb all season
Baros must start - we wont see the best of Cisse until at least next season.
Hamman or Biscan ?? no contest

yea definatley biscan then. hamman has just come back from injury. and are you forgetting igors european performences this season?

Pass & Move · « **Reply #15 on:** April 30, 2005, 07:02:54 pm »

Biscan has done well in the Euro games. I actually feel a bit more comfortable with the big Croat in there. Didi has been injured and has hardly played for weeks. It's a big ask for him to step right in and play in a game like this. I'd have no problem playing him alongside Biscan as he can then just do a mopping up job in front of the defence.

Redlady · « **Reply #16 on:** April 30, 2005, 07:04:32 pm »

But Biscan's injured

I'm sure Baros will start; makes no sense resting him today otherwise.

Is it serious? He might have just been rested to not take any chances.

Mighty Red · « **Reply #18 on:** April 30, 2005, 07:12:20 pm »

I'm pretty sure barring injuries it will be:

Dudek

Finnan Carra Hyypia Traore

Garcia Biscan Hamman Gerrard Riise

Baros

subs

carson
kewell
warnock
cisse
welsh
nunez

CarraLegend · « **Reply #19 on:** April 30, 2005, 07:14:51 pm »

We have to beat these cheating shithouse long ball merchants. Here's hoping we destroy them and Lampards and Gudjohnsens legs.

Pass & Move · « **Reply #20 on:** April 30, 2005, 07:19:25 pm »

I don't see the point of resting Cisse anymore. We've only got a few games left, and it's all or nothing now. Baros is still badly out of form, and doesn't look like he'll get any better.

I would start with him, and he can always change him for Baros if he gets too tired.

Hattori Hanzo · « **Reply #21 on:** April 30, 2005, 08:23:36 pm »

Biggest Game For 20 years? well, maybe

heres my team

-------------------------dudek

finnan----------carra------------hyypia----------riise

garcia----------gerrard---------hamann------kewell

-----------baros--------------cisse

i predict a 1-2 to chelsea

Hattori Hanzo · « **Reply #22 on:** April 30, 2005, 08:24:25 pm »

ffs, close me up lads

Aidan_B · « **Reply #23 on:** April 30, 2005, 09:22:57 pm »

Don't think that he will start Cisse and Baros.

If Biscan is fit he'll play alongside Didi with Gerrard just behind the striker.

I think Riise ahead of Traore and Kewell on the bench.

So ....

Dudek,

Finnan JC Sami Traore
Biscan Hamann
Garcia Gerrard Riise
Baros

Subs : Carson, Kewell, Cisse, Nunez, Warnock, + 2 (Welsh, Potter ?)

Comfortable 3-1 victory for the reds. 3-0 up after 70 and takes Carra of to not get booked, so we concede a late goal to a deflected Lampard shot to the delight of the London Press

Carra, Finnan both 1 yellow from a ban and Hamann is 1 yellow from a 2 game ban

-Gianni- · « **Reply #28 on:** May 2, 2005, 02:15:12 pm »

7 subs. Josemi on the bench

Hopefully

JMarsh · « **Reply #29 on:** May 2, 2005, 02:15:14 pm »

Cannot see Rafa playing two strikers.

The crucial part of the pitch is that we track Lampard, and we don't give Gudjohnson the space that we gave him in the first leg. The return of Hamann could be crucial.

FinnishRed · « **Reply #30 on:** May 2, 2005, 02:15:29 pm »

Warnock too a yellow from ban ? although looks likely not to play tomorrow..

Comb Over · « **Reply #31 on:** May 2, 2005, 02:16:26 pm »

we ll do well to come out with all 3 not getting booked !Hamann Finnan & Carra

JoeK210185 · « **Reply #32 on:** May 2, 2005, 02:17:52 pm »

you know whatsa gonna happen, carra scores the winner in the 90th minute an gets booked for "over-celebrating"

If carra got booked and we won, I might cry....

and I agree with the above playing with one striker, but maybe we should use Cisse instead of Baros?...

Agreed, the final would seem a bit worthless without Carra. He more than anyone deserves to be there

bazjones · « **Reply #36 on:** May 2, 2005, 02:50:18 pm »

Has anyone heard whether or not Cisse is fit enought to start?

If he is then i would go with him ahead of baros or maybe even both of them althought that would be risky

HIRA · « **Reply #39 on:** May 2, 2005, 03:04:16 pm »

The reason I feel we should play two strikers is because Carvalho is rash, he is not too steady at the moment, and Cisse can exploit that weakness.

Also, Gerrard has to play in midfield because of the absence of Alonso. Hamann is not match-fit and will be too slow to come up against the raiding midfielders who will come at you at pace, like Robben, Duff and Lampard. So I feel Gerrard and Biscan as the midfield will be ideal for this match. It can also allow Gerrard to avoid the shackles of Makelele as he can roam around deeper. Hamann and Biscan will not suffice if we want to win the game. We played 442 when they came to Anfield, and I can see Rafa doing the same.
