Well whoever plays, I hope that it's the best possible team we can put out. Not best because we've been watching them in training and he looks tired, he looked jaded, but the best team. If Arbeloa is injured, obiously that mean Carra on the right. If Torres is injured, obviously (well it's obvious to me anyway) that means Kuyt up top. This is not the time to be having another wee look at David N'Gog. We had a wee look at him at Pompey and he has a bit of a way to go yet by the looks of him. Equally, it's not the time to be having a guess on whether Ryan Babel actually fancies breaking sweat today or not. Kuyt is some way short of being the best striker in the World, but if Torres is injured he's the best we've got so he must play. Benayoun can play on the right, while Masherano and Alonso must play in the centre. Riera wins the battle with himself to see who is our best left midfielder, and feck all this "protecting" Aurelio. He's just turned in an absolutely magnificent performance against Madrid, play him and let him get on with it. That just leaves the centre backs (which if Agger is injured are Hyppia dn Skyrtel) and the spot in behind Kuyt, which please God Gerrard will fill.
Simple really, the very best available team. No Lucas's, N'Gogs, Dossena's, Plessis's or Lee Peltiers. Now's not the time, and this isn't the game for such frivolities.
