important we beat city and on paper it shouldn;'t be too tough. They are a midtable team who don't have Wright phillips (injured) or Anelka (sold) so we should be ok.

we can't afford to rest players, we need to take 4th and it would pointless to rest Gerrard because 4th, sadly, is our priority...our Champions League run is a bonus nothing else and we should remained focused on the league.
my team would be

Dudek

Finnan Carra Hyypia Warnock

Garcia Gerrard Biscan Riise

Morientes

Subs;
Alonso
Carson
Le Tallec
Pellegrino
Traore

You guys shouldnt be forgetting Nunez, who put in some decent performances recently? And siti zaiton, Alonso on the right wing??? Isnt this a waste??

If 4th is our priority, why are you only putting 10 players on the pitch.

We are a good team at home and should win all our remaining anfield games. Key to finishing fourth is getting points away from home. Man City away is one of our easiest away games remaining. I am not saying it is going to be easy, but compared to our other remaining away we MUST win one or three points this saturday. Mid table teams are easier to play than relegation strugglers(Portsmouth+Palace) and title contenders(Arsenal).

thats what newcastle said before villa beat them 3-0!

my team:

GK: Dudek
LB: Warnock
CB: Carra
CB: Hypia
RB: Finnan
LM: Risse
CM: Alsonso
CM: Gerrard
RM: Garcia
AM: Tallec
ST: Morientez

Hopefully be able to bring stevie off at half time and bring on hamman/biscan

i reckon Nunez and perhaps Smicer should also get on the bench. Provided Hamann recovers on time, I dont think we can afford both Biscan and Hamann on the bench. Thats quite a waste of substitutes. Should we field a 442 or 451?

by **dawson99** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 2:29 pm

good point. ok, revised subs bench:
carson
pellegrino
biscan
smicer
nunez

we have a lot of opportunites, none of them exemplary. maybe even start with slonso on bench maybe. yeah, biscan start with alonso to come on at half time

by **MilitiaRusher** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 2:32 pm

and i presume Hamann could not recover on time? If he does, Biscan might not even get a place on the bench?

by **7_Kewell** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 2:35 pm

Hamann is out for at least a month...

by **dawson99** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 2:38 pm

ok, so lets start with stevie and biscan. deoending on whos doing what alonso can come on. we can swap garcia with la tallec and nunez for garcia, if needed. we do have options anyways

by **Scottbot** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 2:56 pm

I wouldn't change a thing after last nights performance. Same players (obviously Morientes in for Baros) and same formation although Rafa has shown us time and time again he likes to change it around.

It will be interesting to see if Sami and ALT keep their places. I think Pellegrino has done well at CB recently even if he did struggle with Boltons' physical bombardment (he has probably never come up against anything like that before) at the weekend we still came out with another clean sheet. Sami had a quality game against Juv and Le Tellec showed the boss he has other options. I doubt very much we will see Alonso start this match and would prefer to him play for 30 mins (i'm not one for rushing players back too quickly) or so.

My prediction - 0-0

by **LiverpoolFan00** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 3:27 pm

My team would be

Dudek

Finnan Carragher Hyppia Warnock

Nunez Alonso/Biscan Gerrard Rise

Garcia
Morientes

Subs
Carson
Hyppia
Alonso/Biscan
La Tallec
Smicer

If Alsono is fully recovered i'd start him. If he is not fully match fit i'd put him on second half to help him for the Juve game

by **The_Rock** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 4:11 pm

Would play this formation against mancity.

1)Carson for Dudek. - Made an error against juventus...but looks much composed than dudek.

2)Not sure to put garcia at right wing and play morientas & ALT as strikers or play garcia behind morientas (with nunez at right wing). Looking at the form garcia is in, i think it will be better to let him continue as support striker.

Carson
Finnan Carra Pelle Traore
Nunez Gerrard Biscan Riise
Garcia
Morientas

by **7_Kewell** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 4:37 pm

think Dudek will return for man city and would like to see Warnock back in the team....and also Alonso for the last 20 mins.

Dudek
Finnan Carra Pelle Warnock
Nunez Gerrard Biscan/Alonso-(as sub) Riise
Garcia
Morientas
