I assumed Riera would start but i'm happy with that team.
Need Maxi, Kuyt and Gerrard to support N'gog.

The point KHL is making is that up front, alone, Arshavin is not the goal threat he is in other areas. His goals against us have come from midfield.

Hmmm. Where's ibromurph when you need him?

IRRELEVANT OF STARTING POSITION!

Hehe.
Arshavin is a fabolous player. Scored 4 against us from the left wing.. and 1 against up starting upfront.
Upfront I think he's actually less of a threat, especially if we play a little higher up the field (and away from our box, where he's quite lethal with a quick shot). I've watched him closely and upfront he can be bullied off the ball quite easily and his head will go down after a while.
On the wing, running at us/or arriving late.. against Carra.. i'm not so keen. I guess it depends on whether Carra gets an early yellow card for his trademark "welcome to the game" tackle.

Heres the team for tonight
Reina
Carragher
Skrtel
Agger
Insua
Kuyt
Lucas
Mascherano
Maxi
Gerrard
Ngog
[/quote]
No surprises
Eggnog up front on his own = defeat.
[/quote]
I don't know whether to be relieved or scared you haven't predicted a win.
I really wanted kuyt through the middle with riera and maxi on the wings, I guess he doesn't trust kuyt's ability to hold up the ball.

Just Skrtel in for the Greek. Fair enough I suppose.
Strange that Maxi seems to have taken Rieras place so easily without doing all that much to deserve it, that said he was decent in 2nd half against everton and I was surprised with his willingness to keep our shape and help out with defensive side of things.
Ngog did well on Saturday I thought holding the ball up and winning frees when he was isolated

I'm afraid we'll look very agricultural against Arsenal, playing Carra at fullback and without Aquilani.

i get the impression the performance of our full backs is gonna be really important
whats the deal with aurelio at the minute, is he going through a bad patch with his fitness or is he second choice now?
[/quote]
Just back from a calf strain.

2-1 win. N'gog is due, and dare I say Lucas too.

We're shit against Arsenal.
They have sufficient talent to beat us with ease, so this team will have to put in a performance similar to that of the Spurs and Everton performances to be in with a shout.
I fear for Insua mostly, and I'm not very optimistic about this one.
Let's hope I'm wrong and Dirk/Gerrard can smack in a few goals.

Rafa really doesn't like Riera this season.

Why turn this into a match thread? A match thread should start with the actual team, not pages of shit and predictions.

It's the ONE thing that makes me think Rafa is fundamentally flawed as a manager, as opposed to ill suited. He holds random grudges. Riera has been injured a lot this season of course, but his exclusion hurt our team at the beginning of the season, and it was for no good reason.
Well, let's see what Maxi can do, it's not like Riera is a world beater, it's just wierd.
