Is this a hint that Aurelio, Gonzalez, Pennant, Kuyt and Bellamy will be playing?

 

Benitez: My new boys are ready Sep 8 2006

By Chris Bascombe, Liverpool Echo

 

LIVERPOOL'S derby debutants have been backed to brush off the intimidating atmosphere at Goodison Park.

 

Rafa Benitez could give five recent signings their first taste of derby action in the early kick-off.

 

If he does, he insists there will be no risk involved given the experience and calibre of his summer recruits.

 

"The players may not have played in this game before, but they have enough experience and know what it will be like.

 

"Fabio Aurelio and Mark Gonzalez have played in the Nou Camp and the Bernabau Stadium, so they're well aware what it's like to play in an intense atmosphere.

 

"Valencia versus Villarreal is also a big deal in Spain, and Fabio has played in many of those games.

 

"Gonzalez will tell you the crowd in Chile is as loud as anywhere in the world. The passion in South American football is very similar to England, so it's not going to be a new experience for him.

 

"Dirk Kuyt has played many big games in Holland, and Jermaine Pennant and Craig Bellamy are used to playing derby games at other clubs.

 

"So the fact we have many players new to the derby won't be important."

 

Liverpool are likely to face one player who could have been in their own side in the form of Andy Johnson.

 

Benitez watched Johnson regularly during his first season in England, but his valuation at that time was beyond the Reds.

 

"He is a good player who is a good signing for them," said the manager.

Surprising that Bellamy isn't in the squad, he's had a couple of day extra rest compared to the other lads who were on international duty.

CROUCH FACING LIVERPOOL AXE

By David Maddock

ENGLAND man of the moment Peter Crouch could be brought down to earth with a bump in the Merseyside derby this afternoon.

 

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez revealed yesterday he is agonising over whether to confine the highflying centre-forward to the bench for the showdown at Everton. Benitez has spoken to Crouch on his return from international duty to remind him to keep his feet on the ground.

 

And the manager warned: "Peter is full of confidence but no one who played international football midweek can be 100 per cent fit.

 

I suspect Peter could score anywhere at the moment he is so full of confidence, even with his backside!

 

"But as a manager you have to decide if you should go with the players who are totally fit."

 

Benitez is considering sticking to his strict policy of rotating his side to keep all of his squad fresh and eager for the long slog ahead.

 

"I've spoken with Peter and told him that he must be sensible and keep his feet on the ground, but he is an intelligent person and he knows he must not rest on what he has done," said Benitez.

 

"It is always the same problem. I could go with Peter against Everton because he is confident and scoring goals or, say, with Robbie Fowler who has trained for two weeks and is 100 per cent fit.

 

"I haven't decided yet, but we have such a strong squad some talented players will always be rested."

 

 

mmmmm He's a little tease is Rafa. :hooked:

Got to be Robbie and one out of Crouchy and Kuyt. Think it'll be Kuyt.
