I think the biggest factor will be the supporters in the stadium.

 

I will be utterly surprised if we keep a clean sheet, considering the way we've been defending (and also the rub of the green we've had) lately. Whether we let in an early goal or an equaliser in the 80th minute, the supporters must not let their heads drop, but just keep encouraging and pushing the players through.

 

IMHO, the supporters' job is the hardest and the easiest at the same time - we might be at our best but we might still end up without the desired result. But it's easy for us to bring our best form to the match, it's not reliant on any factors other than their own mindset. If you have the right attitude, you're on your best form.

 

I really hope that for 90-odd minutes on Sunday, the suporters at the ground will forget all about the ownership situation, the poor form of certain individuals, the lack of quality of others and keep encouraging and pushing our team across the line. How we act, and how we react will transmit itself onto the pitch.

 

Our 11 on the pitch might not play to their best, or might not have enough confidence or even quality, but if we give them enough encouragement, their heart and determination might just help push us over the line.

Not sure if he's just keeping schtum about it, but Rafa's comments suggest there's a real chance Stevie, Nando and Johnson won't be fit for Sunday.

 

That's a nightmare scenario.

Agger did a good job last night. Just have Johnson back, and play Aurelio on the left, and We have a real grown-up defense again. You really can't fault instability at the back with two kids as full backs. We were playing Lyon ffs.

Very doubtful if any of the injured will be available so...

 

--------------------------------Reina---------------------------

 

Carragher-------------Skretl-----------Agger---------Aurelio

 

Babel-------------Mascherano----------Lucas-------Dossena

 

------------------------Benayoun

 

Kuyt------------------------

 

Compared to what would IMO be our best side : Reina,Johnson,Skretl, Agger, Aurelio, Kuyt, Mascherano, Aquilani, Benayoun, Gerrard, Torres.

 

Sorry Carra, that doesn't include you this season.
