It's already Wednesday and nobody has started the match thread, lazy b@stards.   Anyway I really hope that the team has regained confidence from the Inter match and we can start seeing improvement in the league.  Carragher will be out of the game, but I think Skrtel should have no problems.

              Reina
Finnan,Skrtel,Hyppia,Risse
Pennant,Gerrard,Lucas,Babel
           Kuyt,Torres

I really, really dislike Boro and hope that we give them a real kicking on Sat.

bad bob i have been trying to pm you but cant any ideas

I'd be very surprised not to see Benayoun, Alonso and Riise start. I fully expect to see a park the bus exercise once again from 'Boro, and Benayoun's a must start for me. Space infiltrators at the ready.

It's a crucial game in that we can't afford to slip up and lose any ground for fourth. We have the top three to come, so it's really a must win. We might end up in a precarious position fourth-spot-wise if we don't win this, and that would put extra pressure on us to perform in Europe which we can do without.

It's bound to feel like a bit of a come down compared to the Inter game, but I'd imagine those who weren't involved against Inter will want to be in with a shout of playing in the second leg.

Boro's defence has been weakend by the departure of woodgate but their strike force has been boosted by the addition of alfonso alves , a very dangerous player . We need to mark him and shut him out. I'd go for 2 changes from the inter gaem but the core shud be the same

                                           Reina
Finnan                                   Carra            Skrtel                  Riise

Gerrard                                 Masch            Lucas                Babel

                                            Kuyt
                                                        Torres
I'd expect agger be given some part in this match , and with this team and morale high after inter i'd expect a 2-0 win

[The_Rock]

It seems the worse our domestic campaign because the more focused rafa becomes on the champions league..... 

Anyway...can see this being a boring 0-0 draw. Boro are one of the most boring teams in this league....and to be honest not at all looking forward to this match.

From now on....i will only be concentrating on champions league......

[Ciggy]

Lets tw@t the smogs, I really hate Boro what is the point in them?

Park the bus job just keep peppering them with shots all day until we break the deadlock, the lads should be full of confidence now.

[lakes10]

this looks like a 0-0 to me.........sorry

[Ciggy]

this looks like a 0-0 to me.........sorry

Sounds like your hoping for 0-0 Lakes.

[heimdall]

I also predict a 0-0 with Rafa making about 5 changes to the team, although that is NOT what I'm hoping for, I'm hoping for the same team except Crouch and Riise starting and a 6-0 win to us

I think some on here get me wrong Ciggy, there is nothing i would love more than for me to be proved wrong and for Rafa to now go and win all the games left in the prem and end up 3rd and show us that ge can be a Prem manager.

But thats not gong to happen.

At the start of this football year i gave Rafa a clean sheet, he looked as if he built a great team (i still think he has and its good enough to win the prem) but only after a few games the old Rafa come back.

there will be about 6 changes in this team at the weekend and thats why it will be 0-0. i hope i am wrong.

[Ola Mr Benitez]

Ive got to agree with Lakes.  The man can't help himself. 

I think he will bring Risse back in, possibly Alonso, Kuyt or Torres will be rested, Arbleloa will probably get a game and Sami will probably be rested. Yossi might come in..  but honestly who can predict a Rafa team???

I'd like to see a very similar team to Tuesday, no more than 2 changes and another big performace from the reds.  These are the sort of games we have struggled with this season.  If we get an early goal we may go on to batter them, if its still 0-0 after 60 mins I reckon we will get beat 1-0.

[Boocity]

I would like to see Babel being given a go up front, my choice would be

                                   Reina
Finnan                 Carra       Skrtel                  Aurelio

Gerrard                Masch      Lucas             Benayoun/Kewel

                          Torres     Babel
