I hope so.

 

[TheBunnyman]

Babel is ALWAYS shit when he starts a game. Has Rafa learned nothing from all those statistics and videos he spends every day watching? Offensively he'll be invisible, and defensively, Babel and Insua on the left is a recipe for disaster. I expect SWP or whoever plays there for City to have a field day.

I think both teams will be fairly negative, but due to our respective defensive deficiencies both teams will score. 1-1 draw.

 

[TheBunnyman]

Any news on the bench btw? I hope Yossi and Torres are fit.

Why the fuck would he start with Maxi, Lucarse and Insewer?

It's insane

It's not 100% confirmed Caparo, it's the team I've been told will start.
Manchester City are without Vieira, Bellamy, Tevez, Kompany, Petrov and Johnson so likely line up will be
given
bridge
toure
lescott
Richards

Barry
de Jong
Ireland

Johnson.a
adebayor
swp

BABEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


in case anyone missed that...



BABEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[monsieurdantes]

and pacheco doesn't play because of we're not supposed to see good football or creativity. hard work, slow snail paced work, but hard nonetheless. a dozen years of the most hardest working what
what what what what what what. lucas what? what? insua has mentality what? what what what

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I honestly hope this is the game we look back on as the one that kick started Babel's career at Liverpool - that he does something that wins the game or plays fantastic. It won't happen, but at least I'll hope for it.

We have hoped long enough so much so our necks have elongated into a giraffe.

 

[the_khl]

I really like the look of that line-up.

We can win this and I think we will too.

[Delinquent]

Insua will need to put in an uncharacteristically solid performance today. He'll be hopelessly exposed if Babel starts ahead of him.

lol

 

[Hansern]

Could be Babel on the right, with Maxi on the left? Im guessing Rafa wont leave Insua with Babel ahead of him. It could also be Babel upfront with Kuyt out wide right.

Anyhoo, I like this line up.

 

[bobtkelpie]

anyone got the official news of the team yet? (not that I'm doubting, mind!)

 

[Le Chacal]

Basically same awful team as at Arsenal.
That will be very tough.
Rafa going for the draw often ends with a 1 nil defeat

Yeah, I suppose that could be the plan. I've never seen Babel do anything to make me think he's an effective striker, but it would be fantastic if he could prove us all wrong today.
