Morientes simply has to start in a European game for me. He'd be the first striker on my teamsheet

 

I think he'll score on Wednesday.

Same here mate, I think he's vital in this match.

 

It's his favourite competition..

 

He usually comes to life in it and the atomsphere hopefully will be cracking.

Sami up front if we need a goal for the last 20 minutes...you're on something there mate.

Morientes has to start simply because Europe is his territory, and after the way that we failed miserably to muster any kind of chance in the air away we need to include Crouch. Garcia has to start as he is most likely to bag a goal.

Thats our strongest team at the moment, probably our most natural and settled 11 as well, and I hope thats what we'll go with.

I think we'll need about three goals to be certain of going through, we should start with Xabi and Stevie in the middle. Bring Didi on near the end if needed.

dunno what i'd pick. I said a while back that i think mori has some talking to do for us in europe, I love garcia (56% of the time), Crouch is our best striker but i think robbie is going to win it for us.

 

Start with Garcia at RM Mori and crouch up front and bring on fowler later. Put in a bid for that lad with the cornrows at B'burn in the meanwhile

The weather forecast for Wednesday is very wet and windy so balls in the air might be a problem. I just haven't worked out yet whether for us or them.

I'd start with that as it gives us options on the bench. No way we can start Hamman in this game as we have to keep it a high tempo early on and Didi Hamman cannot do that, he slows us down.

 

Don't forget, we really only need 1 goal to force extra time and penalties. Nerve wracking ? of course, but we have won on penalties before.

I'd pretty much go along with that team myself.

 

However, I think the team he'll actually start will involve Morientes who was rested on Saturday presumably with Wednesday in mind, and Robbie having played the full game will start on the bench.

 

Like I said in another thread, possibly Rafa didn't play Crouch out there because Luizao could dominate him being nearly as tall and much stronger.

 

Be interesting to see how that battle develops if he starts this time.

 

PS Kronenkamp is cup-tied so I'd have Traore on the bench as defensive cover.

I'd start with Morientes and Crouch up front. I love Robbie, but I think Moro has a goal in him, and I think it's coming on Wednesday. I think Crouch was left out of the first leg not because Luisao would "dominate" him but because he'd be a "surprise" factor in the second leg. I also think this is why Stevie may have been rested (although not as a "surprise" obviously, but as a true "Wait till you get to Anfield" strategy), and if Benfica hadn't scored then this would have made sense.

 

The real issue is who plays on the right. By all accounts it should be Garcia, but he had a stinker in Portugal. Cisse? - Too risky for a game like this. Kewell (with Riise on the left and Djimi at LB?) - again, too risky - but we may see this if we don't score 70 minutes in. Therefore, I think it'll be Garcia, but he MUST have his big-game head on.....
