No Nelsen or Samba by the looks of things. Would be great to see Torres start but I can't see it.

[Gunga Din]

i think Torres will start.

 

i dont think Aquilani will start

I'd love that to be the team so obviously it'll never happen. Lucas for AA and Ngog or Babel for Torres at least. Maybe Degen for Kelly as well.

you cant be dropping Babel after his last couple of performances

 

Babel in for Benny, Lucas for Aquilani, and i think that will be the team

Nice thought, but can't see Torres starting.

 

I'd settle for Dirk upfront, with Babel wide right. The rest of your team spot on.

why not start Torres? might as well risk some knocks on him so that he dosnt have to go on international duty, he'll be crocked coming back from there anyways.

[Hieronymus Bosch]

Think this'll be a really tough one. Not too confident, and that's not just my inner anti-mocker talking.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

There is an element of parody to Aquilani - I just never ever expect him to start - even if we are decimated by injury.

NO!!!!

 

I expect Kyrgiakos to start against Sam's ariel tactics.

 

My favourite dreading question......who's the ref?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Aquilani won't start - got to keep him injury free so we can flog him in the summer

 

Babel should start, recent performances plus a goal dictate that.

 

The Kurgan is suspended. Kelly RB & Carra CB. Unless Johnson's ready

 

I'd start Torres, it's at home. Doubt he will though

Wow, he's only missed two, seems forever ago.

[Red Kent]

Alan Wiley refereeing, could be a lot worse.

[Paddy 66]

I hope he doesn't start Torres, he needs to be brought make slowly so we don't knacker him for the rest of the season. Would put Gerrard next to Masch in CM, Yossi behind Kuyt, Maxi and Babel occupying the wide midfield roles. Kelly RB Carra CB next to Agger, LB probably Aurelio but think Insua will get the nod

True, oddly he'd be the one I'd pick. Not a mocker, Not a mocker, Not a mocker, Not a mocker, Not a mocker, Not a mocker!!!!!!

[Red Kent]

Whatever happens to Torres, he needs to limp off 5 minutes before the end to rule him out of the Spain friendly

[Moe Szyslak]

Why no Samba? I know Nelsen is injured but why is he doubtful.

I thought he was suspended but he may now have completed his suspension.

Love it when he has a whinge, we usually absolutely f***ing batter them when he does. He is one vile, xenophobic piece of cancer.

He doesn't even make an attempt to hide the xenophobia. Awful man. Hilarious that he's still going on about the 'gesture'. Can't work out whether it's because he's trying to please Ferguson, or because he actually believes Rafa was saying 'game over'.

[stressederic]

And their manager has continued his criticism of Benítez ahead of Rovers' return to Liverpool tomorrow. Allardyce said: "I have no worries about what he thinks of me or my team. The most important thing to me is we can beat them on any given date and we know we can beat them because I did it at the Reebok.

 

You'd think he'd pick these dates that they can beat us to coincide with the matches between our teams.

 

It's also worth pointing out that, whilst we were indeed brilliant that game at home against Blackburn last season, they were absolutely f***ing dreadful. A great big lump of a central defender stuck upfront in the vain hope that the ball might hit him, whilst Benny McCarthy kicked his heels on the bench and Matt Derbyshire was rattling goals in for Olymipacos.

[Coyler]

Hahahaha. "[Arsène] Wenger did it, [José] Mourinho did it; they all do it when they get their backside smacked." F*cking hell.

[Nebraska Red]

is Allardyce really that stupid that he thinks that mouthing off in the press is going to have an effect on the game?

 

this story is either total garbage or a fine example of lunatic behavior by a PL manager.

 

I wonder if one of the jerks at the pre match press conference has the balls to mention it to Rafa.

[carrafan]

He thinks he's Ferguson MK II.
