Fiorentina Wednesday

[Andy @ Allerton]

It'll be a great night! And it is important. Just found out that you have to get a good points tally to be seeded in the next round.

 

IF we win - then that's it - we're seeded for the next round. So we have something to play for.

 

Hopefully the negative moaners will stay away and the postive fans will make it there and make it one to be remembered.

 

Come you on Mighty Reds!!

 

Aqualung might even play.

Let us not get ahead of ourselves here.

[Jarg Armani]

It's going to be a low point.

[Red Kent]

There will be no atmosphere, little happening on the park, just like a normal league game.

 

I'll be surprised if we get over 40,000.

[Sion]

Rather we weren't seeded and got a more well-known team

It's not like we should fear any team.

[Red Kent]

Is there country protection for the first round ?

 

Andy, this could be the first derby as a married couple for you.

[Sion]

Is there country protection for the first round ?

 

Yep. Although I think we can play other CL dropouts straight away. Which will include one of Juventus or Bayern depending on the seeding.

The good times are back!

 

If anyone is grasping around for tickets tomorrow then they're nothing but glory-hunters.

[cymrococh]

I love the idea of mad European aways, I hate that I can't go.

Didn't we play the ev last week?

i reckon it will be closer to 30,000 than 40,000. The kop still hadnt sold out yesterday.I'd say a decent number on the auto ticket scheme will swerve it too, rather than spend out on actually getting to the game.

[fred milne]

Team selection for this game is going to be tricky. You don't want to risk anybody too important but at the same time it would be good to have some quality players around Aquilani so we can see what he is capable of.

 

Cavalieri

Kelly Skrtel Kyriagkos Aurelio

Masch Lucas

Babel Aquilani Dossena

Ngog

[Coyler]

If Riera gets over his knock I'd have thought that him and Kuyt (even though he's so going to start against Arsenal) staying out wide would have been solid and shapely around him (and still clever). Though I like the idea of the Dosser coming back in this one and showing Fiorentina what (if anything) he's after learning in England.

What apart from the one we went to the other day at Goodison?

[Andy @ Allerton]

That's the good thing about this - so really good aways to be had. Always a silver lining and all that.

 

IF we could get to Humburg and win it - then I for one would be made up. Think Dortmund was my favourite final.

[Will]

Delayed slightly but....

 

Down Memory Lane

 

Double Agents

[Boca]

Rafa on Sky saying Aquilani to start and Torres on the bench.

[Alonso]

Reina

 

Kelly Skrtel Agger Dossena

 

Mascherano Aquilani

 

Benayoun Gerrard Riera

 

N'Gog

 

Subs: Cavilieri Johnson Kyrgiakos Lucas Spearing Babel Torres

 

Give Kuyt and Carragher a rest, get Kelly some more first team experience, play Aquilani with decent players ahead of him, don't risk Aurelio or Insua and let N'Gog continue his development before Torres time.

 

Shame El Zhar isn't in the CL squad cos he could have done with some more game time too.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

After all the waiting, I betcha he plays right wing or something

Is Kelly fit?

[Alonso]

Is Kelly fit?

Can't be far off being fit and nothing on Phsyio Room or the Fantasy Premier League site saying he's injured. If he is then give Darby or Degen a go.

[McBain]

Is Kelly fit?

 

Aye

 

[Hodgson for Chelsea]

Good chance to see what Acquilani can do, and against Italian opposition too which should suit him.

 

Don't care about the result, just praying we can get that 4th place now. Feels like the GH days in a lot of ways.

[Hodgson for Chelsea]

LOL well it does - our goals have gone back a notch this season but a 4th place finish and some new owners in the summer and all will be well again.
