i had a feeling that rafa will play 4-5-1............ (mentioned it in a earlier thread

). I don't think it is a wise move...... Its already hard to score against chelsea in the 1st place.

Dudek,
Finnan Carragher Hyypia Traore
Garcia Gerrard Hamann Riise
Kewell
Morientes

God roll on 5 o clock

Me bleedin nerves are gone, hope Rafa has this right, would have played 2 upfront myself but it may work out to our advantage, who knows?
Lets hope Baros can do what Maxi Lopez done on wednesday night to chelsea hey :;):

Thought that bloody Gallas was injured :angry:

It would seem very likely if Baros is on the bench

Cmon yer Reds

I thought we might have a 4-5-1 with Biscan also included. This looks like a 4-4-1-1 with Kewell playing off Morientes. I thought he might be tempted with a full blown 4-4-2 with Baros - seems strange to pick a 'not yet match fit' Kewell ahead of him.

Anyway:

COME ON RED MEN!

Im just glad Cole is starting for them, im fed up with him coming off the bench against us

Stevies got a HJC armband on

Rumours abound that Baros' sulk was quite spectacular. But we don't do rumours! :;):

Good hopefully it put some fire in Baros belly and give him some extra motivation.
Maybe Rafa read Stu piece about not starting StevieG against Bayer..........and thought mmm if i just modify that it might work

BAROS MISSES OUT AS RAFA OPTS FOR 4-5-1

Reds boss Rafa Benitez has gone for midfield supremacy over attacking power in an attempt to lift a record 8th League Cup success against Chelsea at the Millenium Stadium today.
Liverpool will line up with five across the midfield with Harry Kewell supporting lone front man Fernando Morientes. It is a system that has brought the Reds some success this season, but Milan Baros can count himself unlucky to miss out.

Kewell retains his place after performing so well against Bayer Leverkusen in midweek and he will look to get forward as much as possible as the Reds look to avenge home and away defeats to Jose Mourinho's highflyers.

Luis Garcia and John Arne Riise are charged with the task of providing the ammunition for Morientes. Fasten your seat belts, this
promises to be an exciting affair.

Liverpool - Dudek, Hyypia, Finnan, Carragher, Riise, Traore, Hamann, Kewell, Gerrard, Garcia, Morientes. Subs - Carson, Biscan, Nunez, Baros, Pellegrino.
