Try and get a copy if you can

I would go with Baros to start, he's likely to be playing his last ever game in a red shirt and will give 150% to show other clubs what he's made of which means he will be an almighty pain in the a*se to Milan's defence

Later in the game I would replace him with Cisse (unless we're behind in which case play them both) - imagine an ageing, tired Milan defence having to deal with a fresh-legged Cisse's pace and presence

Baros will no doubt run for as long as he is on the pitch, but, we might only get one chance to win the game and if it falls to baros he's likely to bottle it. i dont think hes scored since the leverkusen game. cisse, on the other hand will be full of confiidence after his 2 goals vs villa and i'd have much more confident of converting a good chance.

I read an article in the irish times today suggesting that harry kewell might make a shock start possibly at hamann's expense, leading to gerrard switching to a more defensive role with kewell playing behind cisse/baros. Rafa tried kewell in the cc final but he was to unfit to last 90 mins(tho he claims he was injured). Kewell hasn't been too bad of late particularly against arsenal. I would perfer if we stayed with the usual lineup but maybe kewell could do a job!?

baros will start the game, i have no doubts about it. cisse just hasn't played enough football.

look at van horseface since he came back from injury. he looks a shadow of the player he was before he got injured. despite cisse scoring twice against villa, i think he'd be better deployed from the bench in the last 20 minutes.

as for kewell starting, that would be a scandal. funny how he suddenly declared himself fit on the eve of the carling cup final, then got injured again, and now miraculously is fit again.
