Traore is the best one for Ronaldo. Watch last seasons match against man u.

i am with AB in this one (one of the rare moments)....

Don't under-estimate the scums....as much as i hate them...they are our bogey team.

just look at the previous matches against them (apart from the 5 match winning spell we had). We always dominate the whole match (even in old thrashford)...but lose to a suker punch........ :angry:

I would like to see Cisse start this game. Since his injury we haven't seen what his impact is on a 'big' game yet, aside from a few sub appearances.

I'd like to see:

Reina

Finnan Carragher Hyypia Warnock

Sissoko

Gerrard Alonso
Garcia

Cisse Crouch

Performing well in a game like this could turn Cisse's season round

Good post John all round but I've just quoted this bit for a reason.

How about this for typical Benitez unpredictability .........

Play Hamann and Alonso and Sissoko in the middle and Gerrard has a free role similar to the one he had against Arsenal last season. So it would look like this .....

Reina

Finnon Carra Hyppia Warnock

Sissoko Hamann

Gerrard Alonso Riise

Cisse

You never know Dalglish, I certainly wouldn't be surprised if Rafa tried something like that. The thing is though, even if it's Alonso and Sissoko playing with Gerrard, Gerrard still has almost a free role anyway, he is pretty much the second striker in that system and could roam all over the place.

Playing Alonso, Sissoko, Hamann and Gerrard with Gerrard on the right and Sissoko slightly ahead of Alonso and Hamann is something I could maybe see working, but it is fairly experimental for such a big game.

See how confused we're all getting over this, Fergie must be having a nightmare

order! ORDER!

Could I call on the right honourable members to stand for a minutes silence to mark the latest tragedy to befall Everton FC-

To fall at the first in one cup is embarrasing but to fall at the first in the consolation cup is fkn hillerious

Anyone else feeling childish this morning?

I've just checked the odds and Liverpool and Man Utd are level, both being at 13/8 (mid-day Friday, with a draw at 15/8) and surely we have to take this game to them in these circumstances. We're looking pretty solid, we're developing a good attack and they're going to be with out several big players. And it's at Anfield. If we do them on Sunday, it will be a huge leap forward.

Who was that with ACE ?
I saw 7/4 Lp - 5/4 MU that was with willhill

£40 on us would not go amiss- pay for the chelsea games

I really cant see us losing to either of em

by **Red Rafa Revolution** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 3:05 pm

that has never been a better time to overturn our strings of defeat to them. i really fancy our chances this coming sunday.

by **Cool Hand Luke** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 3:12 pm

Would love to see this team personally:

Reina

Finnan Hyypia Carragher Warnock

Alonso Sissoko

Gerrard Garcia Riise

Crouch

Or

Reina

Finnan Hyypia Carragher Warnock

Alonso Sissoko

Pongolle Gerrard Riise

Crouch

I’m guessing Man Utd will go for this:

Van Der Sar

O'Shea Ferdinand Silvestre Richardson

Scholes Smith Fletcher
Ronaldo Rooney
Van Nistelrooy

Since we are at home we should be reasonably attacking and try to be dominant, but Man Utd will be set out to hit us on the counter attack through Rooney and Ronaldo, this is were Sissoko, and if selected Riise, will be key. It is important that Riise and Garcia don’t give the ball away cheaply in no pressure situations, because this is where Man Utd will hurt us the most.

I think it may be wise to leave Gerrard in the centre just off the striker, because I wouldn’t count on Garcia helping out Alonso and Sissoko against Smith, Fletcher and Scholes, were as Gerrard will. Also it would mean that we could go with Pongolle on the right, but it would mean leaving Garcia on the bench.

P.S. Fergie may surprise everyone by putting O'Shea at left back, and playing young Bardsley at right back.

We need TWO strikers in the front, if we really want to win this match. Cisse and Crouch, finish them off. :blues:

Not sure if youve all heard but Heinze is out for most of the season.
