I agree with you Frank. Odd team selection. Don't know what's wrong with Stevie, Torres and Reina.
 
Not a wind up? That team will get battered. I thought our strongest team would have it hard. Looks like Rafa is resting players for the run in for fourth if you're right, Sheik.
 
Would you look at that! Benitez prioritising the league........just 3 years too late.
That team will get humped. Now were winning fuck all AND not finishing 4th.
Epic.
 
Yep 3 years and 8 months too late. I'm not happy that we're in this competition, but at least try and fucking win it while you're in it. Jesus. We won't get fourth, and it looks like we're heading out in this round. What a joke. He actually is insane.
 
An April Fool chuckle to be sure?

Rafa's mouth is writing cheques it can't cash with his guarantee's for fourth and in chasing that he's putting out a team that will struggle.

Cheers mate, I had been looking forward to the game tonight.

Why should that team get humped? Lose maybe, but humped? No way.
[/quote]Because it has 1 player out of the front 6 who can maintain possession. Against a team like Benfica possession is a must.
2 or 3 - 0
 
I couldn't see that team score. I thought it'd be tough with our strongest XI, but that team has very little attacking threat about it. It could be 2, or 3 nil if that's the team and it'll mean tie over.

Rafa's going to look even more of a pillock if that's the team and we don't beat Birmingham away, which is a tough ask in itself.

course it still matters and brum away is going to basically make or break our CL ambitions
 
why bother getting to this stage to rest players? what was the point in beating lille? and what about all those poor bastards who've travelled to support us, not to mention everyone who's shelled out £39 for the anfield game which might now be academic?

bizarre, at best. i guess we're praying for a 0-0, realistically.


ps. is this really the team? REALLY?

Maybe, had Aqua been fit I'd put Kuyt upfront to solve that. But I see your point, strange that it took so long before he did this after so many years of prioritizing the Europe. N'Gog needs to play a blinder.

Must mean his job is dependant on CL qual and 4th.

On one side, I understand it if we beat Birmingham. But if we don't, then this has been a really stupid gamble. If we lose today obvs.

[/quote]it's not prioritising THE LEAGUE is it? It's prioritising 4th place.
I don't want to argue about it. Just don't be so fucking silly.
 
Quick question guys, have the clocks in UK been turned back yet? Just need to confirm if the match starts at 3am or 4am here. Thanks in advance!
 
truth to be told I don't see the point in resting players with a mere 6 games remaining.
maybe watching manu and arsenal lose their best players in the last european ties has scared the shit of rafa

[/quote]Yes mate.
 
Rafa can fuck off if he's resting Pepe, Gerrard and Torres for the league game on sunday.

There's a European trophy to be won here and the matter of winning back a little pride for a shambolic and humiliating season.

Rafa can fuck off anyway.

I sure fucking hope so. Ngog up front on his own against Luisao? Fuck off
 
If we lose heavily today, it can have quite the opposite effect in the run in. Ah well, at least we can change things from the bench for once.

Resting Pepe is very strange though.
