Kuyt?
Who is your supplier?

for me pacheco has to start im not saying that just to say that i believe he could be the difference in games like this for us defending is far from a strong area for benfica and gerrard gets to stay CM we will have 3 CB's in the back 4 so we should be really solid the only problem will be his stamina but we will have aquilani and lucas on the bench for when we are winning but more than the players the key is as it usually is in europe the tempo look at what utd have done to bayern with just PL tempo


c'mon you REDMEN!!!

He is going to play all the time,rather have him up top than wide right.

True he is going to play - one of Rafas lovechildren along with Lucas - but would rather see him .........in Holland!!

ya have to hand it to kuyt, sh*tting out a football is not an easy thing to do.

Nice one flames!
can see this one going to extra time. Going to be tight and can't see us keeping DiMaria quiet for 90 minutes. How good a footballer is he btw?! Special.

2-0 so long as we take them on from the outset. Hopefully Rafa has learnt that his madness in defensive style of football doesn't work!

3 at the back?
think rafa'll try this?

3 at the back...??agree with the statement that hes trying to save the season with that

the way we been defending with 7 defenders as EMP says...i dont think we will be any confident with 3 at the back....

still i think rafa wont dare such a shaking at the back....it might come out as a result of a substitution if we are trailing at half time or something....
