Official Carling Cup Final Match Thread

[Sion]

Several conundrums

 

Is Agger going to be fit?

Should Spearing play?

Is Bellamy fit?

Do Carroll and Suarez both start?

 

All fit, I'd probably go with

 

Reina

GJ Agger Skrtel Enrique

Henderson Gerrard Adam

Bellamy Carroll Suarez

 

This is it. My day of reckoning. Such an important day for me, I hope I don't let everybody down.

[Cam]

Thank you, Sion. And God bless.

[Case]

Good lad.

 

[Epic Swindle]

Reckon you might have used up all your magic. At least we've got our scapegoat anyway.

 

Think this might be the side, with Stevie in Hendo's role.

 

Reina

John Skrt Agger Jose

Speo Adam

Gerrard Bellers

Carroll Luis

[Barnes' left foot]

Yes, yes!

[pipnasty]

End the speculation and ban him now

[Swipe]

Really don't think Spearing will play.

[Dan]

Cardiff in s*** form aren't they?

[Epic Swindle]

Actually, it could just be Agger and Bellers in for Carra and Downing from today's side. Hard to look past the big game experience of Dirk as well.

That's what I expect. With Dirk for Hendo a possibility.

[Epic Swindle]

I like that but Dirk on the right can be hard going if we're not pushed up.

 

Think Cardiff have had their minds on the final. They go there without any pressure really and we need to be smart and focused as they will cause us problems if we approach it thinking we've already won. Sense we've been focused on winning this from the word go though.

[Walrus]

Downing is rarely rested / dropped.

[Swipe]

Downing is rarely rested / dropped.

 

Yeah but if fit, Bellers is a shoe-in. Has been all season.

 

Carroll has to play too. To get dropped now that he's finally finding form would be so harsh.

[Ethan]

Drop Suarez and play Bellers

[anfieldgaz]

Phew! Good man

 

Think kenny will go:

 

Pepe glojo Enrique agger skrtl hendo Adam Gerard downing Suarez Carroll

 

I'd change hendo for bellers

[lfc003]

I think Kenny fitness permitting will go with:

 

----------------Pepe---------------

------Glen Skrtel Agger Jose------

Henderson Stevie Adam Bellamy

-----------Big Andy Suarez-----------

 

I would rather we go with

------------Pepe------------

Glen Skrtel Agger Jose

----Stevie G --- Adam----

--Maxi --------- Bellamy--

-----Big Andy Suarez-----

[Cunny]

Reina

Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique

Spearing

Gerrard Adam

Suarez Carroll Bellamy

[Ombudsam]

dunno what team should play but it should feature Reina, Gerrard and Suarez

[RafaShanks]

Think Kenny will pack midfield with Luis up front on his own.

[Ibby]

Bellers if fit will start on the left imo

[Billy Dane]

Reina

Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique

 

Gerrard Adam

 

Kuyt. Suarez. Bellamy

 

Carroll

[Gomez]

Downing is rarely rested / dropped.

 

 

Downing was excellent today, yet again against lower league opposition, might not be a bad choice next week. though I would hope Bellamy starts regardless.

[Nerik]

Cardiff lost 3-0 to Ipswich over the weekend.

 

Reina

Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique

Adam Gerrard

Bellamy Suarez Downing

Carroll

Subs: Doni, Carra, Kelly, Henderson, Maxi, Kuyt and Shelvey.

[Stevie H]

bellamy will play and not celebrate when he scores.

[Snookie]

Anyone who refers to Bellamy as 'bellers' should be sterilized for good of humanity.
