personally cannot see the point in risking Torres in this one- but I suspect Rafa may do otherwise

Is Degen fit?

[JohnBonham]

I don't think Alonso will play. Why rest him against WBA and then play him in the Carlig cup? Plessis, El Zhar and Insua won't play for the reserves against Portsmouth tonight and I think all of them will feature.

was on the bench against Madrid, so presume so

[AE]

I think Rafa will give Torres 60 minutes or so for match fitness.

I would prefer Xabi in there instead of Yossi with Lucas in an advanced role

[Knox_Harrington]

Xabi should be getting the next three nineties after this one. I know what you are getting at though.

[Mike]

for sentimental reasons yossi should play in this one

This game really doesn't matter; Redknapp is invincible right now and I don't want a defeat affecting the confidence for a title push.

The game does matter (not as much as others), and we should try and win. I would play a decent team, with a few fringe players. Leave out the players who play most the time, but fill in with proven internationals like Babel, Lucas, Yossi and give Torres at least 45 mins. If Ngog isn't given a good run out I will start to wonder why we got him.

 

Am I really the only one who wants to win every game?

[Hassony]

Am I really the only one who wants to win every game?

 

I am desperate for us to win tomorrow, would love us to win the league cup, and it give more of a chance for the likes of Caveliari, Degen and hopefully Nemeth when he is fit again

[CarraLegend]

Am I really the only one who wants to win every game?

 

I badly want us to win this one, but will probably get over it a lot easier than a league defeat if we do lose. The ones saying it "doesnt matter" will be the same ones on here whinging non stop if we do lose with the "this proves our squad is f***ing s****" "are we in crisis?" garbage.

[Bailo]

Xabi should be getting the next three nineties after this one. I know what you are getting at though.

Surely expressing a full game as "nineties" comes perilously close to infringing your "minutes" rule?!

[Knox_Harrington]

Nope.

[sutty]

Nope.

 

 

Oh I beg to differ

 

You could have said matches, but you used a minutes derivative

 

For shame, harrington.. for shame.

[Knox_Harrington]

Oh I beg to differ

 

You could have said matches, but you used a minutes derivative

 

For shame, harrington.. for shame.

Still nope.

F*ck that, risking Torres in a game like this. N'Gog is your man.

[Knox_Harrington]

I'd give him the hour to sharpen him. He didn't look sharp until The Derby this season. Can't be kept in cotton wool.

You can't rest a hamstring for too long, if he's nailed on ready then maybe a sub spot. If he gets hurt again I'm blaming YOU!!

[Knox_Harrington]

You can't rest a hamstring for too long, if he's nailed on ready then maybe a sub spot. If he gets hurt again I'm blaming YOU!!

But you can start getting selected for first team action when you aren't sharp enough. Better to be rusty on Wednesday than on Saturday.

 

He could get hurt at any stage. It is - as I know you know - the nature of playing football.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

My other concern with Torres is that if he is played alongside the wiffies, he really will be our biggest threat and those kinda players get special attention.
