Agger, Johnson & Carra (the Mirror said he was limping heavily at the end of the Man City match & was a doubt for Debrecen) all in, but no Babel nor Riera

No Eccleston either.

 

Babel and Reira are probably injured, but Nathan isn't as far as I'm aware.

 

If Ngog gets injured in training, warm-up or the match. We are seriously seriously f***ed.

Reina

 

Johnson

Carragher

Agger

Aurelio

 

Masch

 

Yossi

Aquilani

Gerrard

Dossena

 

N'Gog.

I like the look of that.

 

P.S. Switch Torres for Ngog and Riera for Dossena when fit and that's the team I'd to see give a run of games to get our season back on track.

I'd go for that too however I think Rafa will play Insua for Dossena (Aurelio left mid) Kuyt for Yossi (Kuyt always plays) and Lucas instead of Mascherano

I appreciate that Dirk is crying out for a rest but not sure we are in a strong enough position , squad wise, to offer it yet. When Riera, Yossi and Torres are back to full fitness then maybe, now? not so sure.

There are periods of play where he is actively damaging the side, especially as games wear on. He makes his mistake against Fulham because he's goosed. He's the lad who plays every f***ing game. He's currently a one man advert for rotation: one of, if not the fittest player in our squad and he's buckling under the relentless task given to him every week of doing the running for x, y or z. He needs a game off. I'd rather have him fresh for The Ev and Yossi wide right for Debrechen than another two five out of ten performances from him.

Thought Kuyt looked well below his best on Saturday. Really struggled the last 10 minutes and was detrimental to us.

 

Aren't Pacheco, Amoo, Eccleston etc in the squad? If so why are they not travelling?

Kuyt can play as a striker if need be, so let's not go all mellow dramatic about only having one striker.

 

We have two options, it should be fine.

So we are all happy with one striker still in nappies then ?

 

I don't think anyone is happy but what do you want? A feet stamping competition?

I think the lack of options upfront, (in the 3 behind as well as the front man) means that Rafa will feel he has to start Dirk. I totall agree that he is shattered and needs a break but Rafa will, as always, ask him to try to push through another couple of games at least. Its such a pity because Dirk is suffering through no fault of his own. (in so much as he is being put up to be shot at when he should be having a break)

 

The team I think Rafa will play is

 

Pep

 

Johnson Carra Agger Aurelio

 

Mash (or Lucas) Aquilani

 

Dirk Stevie Yossi

 

N'Gog

what exactly is the alternative at this point?

 

There isn't one, and that's the issue. Even if Torres was fit, having two strikers in a squad of 18 is poor.

Usually we'd have four options upfront in the squad:

 

Torres

Ngog

Kuyt

Babel

 

Sometimes five if Voronin is included.
