So anyone got any ideas on what this ref is like. Winter at Boro, what could be better.

Would you be happy with a draw?

No, thats no use despite our woeful record at this s***hole.

[M4TTA]

my post got deleted, was only having a laugh :/

[Alonso]

So Rafa's team then. Anyone got any ideas? I think he'll go for:

 

Reina

 

Finnan Carra Hyypia Riise

 

Pennant Alonso Gerrad Zenden

 

Kuyt Bellamy

 

Garcia might get a game ahead of Pennant if he's fit.

Think its nailed on Agger will start and Hyypia always looks a bit off after International games, I dont think he'll play Zenden on the left either. Think it'll be the team you've got with Agger in for Hyypia and Riise or Gonzalez at LM with Warnock or Aurelio at LB if Riise is pushed forward.

I think if Aurelio plays he'll be LW to keep some continuity at the back, especially if Hyypia is rested.

IF we can win this that could be a real sign of a turnaround at the club with every single hard away fixture out of the way.

 

I'll have everything crossed.

Man U and Arsenal were the big turn arounds too. I'd be happy with a 0-0 draw or even a 1-1 draw would have me very upbeat as it would be progress.Don't conceed to many and actually score away from home in open play before xmas. Exciting times indeed.

I'd go along with that

[Guest BrianF]

Can't see Hyppia starting after playing a full 90 minutes for Finland. I'd go with this team, depending on Garcia's fitness.

Bring on Kuyt/Gonzalez if need to freshen up attack

[RedMarauder]

Reina

 

Finnan Carra Agger Warnock

Pennant Alonso Gerrard Riise

Crouch Bellamy

 

Bellamy was on form for Wales, Crouch didn't play for England & Kuyt has been playing non stop. The Warnock / Riise combo provides a tighter midfield with Pennant on the right and now is the time for Agger to cement his place.

I'm 99% sure you hit the nail son !

Would you be happy with a draw?

I would take it philosophically - esepcially a draw when we score from open play and theirs was a dodgy goal

[CarraLegend]

I think Marc Gonzales will score tomorrow.

Garcia is nearly fit but not fit enough for this game according to Rafa at todays PC.

[meepins]

I think Marc Gonzales will score tomorrow.

I don't expect Gonzales to approach some form until spring time or there abouts, much like Garcia.He's certainly capable of chipping in a few in the meantime.

I think we need to have at least one side of the pitch which we can trust. I wouldn't play both Gonzalez and Pennant as they are both out of form and occasionally you can bring one passenger with you but having two will have you found out.

 

Warnock and Riise is a solid, unspectacular left side. We know that at the very least, they will both give it everything they have and Riise is always going to be a goal threat.

 

Gerrard HAS to come into the centre for this one. I dread to think what the reaction would be like if he is on the right hand side again and the result didn't go our way.

 

I would give Pennant another chance on the right. He has to come good at some stage. Why not today?

 

Bellamy had a good game during the week and provides a good outlet with his pace while Kuyt is our most likely goal scorer so lets hope they can build on that partnership.
