Nows the time to start thinking about which team Rafa will field tomorrow, and whether we will o for a defensive tactic, to weather an early onslought by Shevchenko and co.

I think we should come out of the blocks fast, and try and score a goal or two first half, then defend it second half.

My team........

                  Dudek

Finnan Carra  Hyppia  Traore

Garcia Hamann  Alonso  Riise

             Gerrard
             
               Cisse

Id leave baros and biscan out, as i think this is our best team to cause them problems, plus the fact theat hamann has played in a world cup final.

Come on!

i dont wanna get into naming a team as i think its kinda pointless, just leave that to Rafa. But i think the 'going for it early' attitude that i have seen over the last few days in various threads is a bit risky for my liking.......
REMEMBER the juve game we battered them first half (but they still hit the post and Zlatan also issed a sitter too!!) and got the two goals...but in the second half we ran out of steam and were under pressure for the whole half, ok u might say we held out, but that type of footy is risky, especially in such an important game. The difference is MILAN will go till the end and are used to scoring  VERY VERY late and have done so many times in seria A this season, and even against PSV too!!!!  As an avid watcher of italian football (and a soft spot for juve) JUVE are used to going ahead first and controlling a game from there, and HATE coming from behind, especially two!!!!  Milan dont give a F*ck and know they have players that can get them back in.

I agree an early goal would be perfect, but i disagree that the gameplan should be to go all out early, as im sure thats what Milan will be expecting anyway, JUVE were'nt!!!!!!   

Thats the difference!!!!!

[65-1114725958]

No, the real difference!!!!..... is that Juventus are a far stronger team and won serie a, not Milan! we werent hanging on versus Juventus at all, we contained them, and defended well.

Juve won serie a and we dumped them out!

They conceded 3 goals versus psv and nearly went out!

LFc can score late goals too, look at the three versus olympiacos in the second half!

Milan have aging defenders, and maldini is 38!

Im sure baros will skin him, or Cisse.

My basis for attacking first half and defending, secnd half is a mirror reflection of what we have done so far in the CL.

So because Milan didn't win the Seria A, Juventus is superior? Does that mean that Everton are better than us?

I'd say you're correct with that AB but rumour has it the team trained a lot in the past few days with Kewell and Cisse as the forwards. However, my own view is that its probably a preparation for the team that will play the last 30 minutes.

In the prem ...you have to say yes

Like the lineup AB but would prefer Cisse to Baros and Traore alwys worries me . In the premiership i like the Warnock / Risse combo on the left but I'm not sure if Warnock is ready for a game this big.

What about Kewell ? he's not on your sheet , d'yer think he has a part to play


Sods law , Kewell and Baros come on as subs and score .

I'm not talking about just in the Premiership, I'm speaking overall in all competitions. Would had Everton gotten as far as we have this year?

Milan threw away the title, just like we threw away fourth place.

[A.B.]

Kewell has done abosolutely nothing therefore he doesn't deserve to start in the CL final, perhaps come as a sub. Where the f#ck was he when we played against Leverkusen? He refused to travel with the squad to Germany but now all of a sudden he doesn't feel any pain.

HEY THE SLATE IS WIPED TOMMORROW AS SOMEONE SAID EARLIER RAFA GOT US HERE NOW LETS TRUSTS HIS TACTICS

AS OF E ON BEING BETTER THAN US RAFA HAS BEEN PRACTICING ALL YEAR WATCH OUT NEXT

WE ARE THE MIGHTY REDS THE MIGHTY MIGHTY REDS WERE GOING TO CONQUER THE BLOODY WORLD AGAIN

[JBG]

I think the team picks itself, although I wouldn't rule out Benitez springing a surprise.

We might see Kewell in there at the start but I doubt it.

[BOODIDDY]

My team for tomorrow will beat milan into submission. (i Think cos im the special one)

                    Dudek
Finnan   Hyypia    Carra     Traore

           Alonso   Gerrard
Garcia                             Riise
               Kewell
             
               Baros

Then when we're 1-0 at half time or 60 mins change to this

                    Dudek
Finnan   Hyypia  Carra   Traore

                Hamann
Garcia   Gerrard     Alonso Riise

             Cisse

When we counter attack its upto LG SG or JAR to help cisse. Milan will not be able to break us down then we will score on counter 2-0. I watched the game last night whilst sleeping. Trust me i am special (or have i just watched star wars and all that jedi mind stuff)

I'd be suprised if that wasn't the team. Very suprised.

While i think Kewell and Cisse should be in there for there quality, how do you change a winning side? Not only a winning side but an all conquering side

In the premiership i like the Warnock / Risse combo on the left but I'm not sure if Warnock is ready for a game this big.

Again i disagree. Did you see him against Leverkusen? If anything he was one of our best players. The lad has the ability and temperament to play in any game just like Carragher.
