I don't think we should have a problem rolling them over. I reckon the goals will start flowing now.

I'd be more concerned with keeping them out, Lau-Lau in particular. He has a habit of sneaking a goal against us and making the last couple of minutes a nervy affair. Anyone know if he's playing on Wed?

Portsmouth's preferred strike partnership is Benjani and Kanu. Personally I am worried about Kanu as he can be a tricky customer. He has a bag full of suprises and more often than not can hurt teams when they least expect him to do anything. Thats the problem with him though. When you expect Kanu to score then he totally messes up

Bellamy won't be at Anfield, he'll be in Cardiff at court.

by **Lando_Griffin** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 3:21 am

And Zenden won't be playing, he'll be on the physio's table.

Not having much luck in the injury department, are we?

In light of our most recent addition to the crock-list, I'd go with this team:

Reina

Finnan JC Sami Agger/Riise

Gerrard Riise/Agger
Pennant Garcia

Fowler
Kuyt.

It's GOT to be time for Robbie to get a game, SURELY!?!

by **Lando_Griffin** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 3:23 am

Thinking about it, Rafa may go with this lineup instead:

Reina

Finnan JC Sami Agger

Pennant Gerrard Riise

Garcia

Fowler Kuyt.

Bit more direct.

I preferred your first selection mate. Your second attempt looks too weak in midfield to crush a grape never mind pompey. I would go with :-

Reina
Finnan Hyypia Paletta Agger

Garcia Gerrard Carra Riise

Fowler Kuyt

thing wrong with my team is a distinct lack of pace

by **Lando_Griffin** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 4:15 am

I was imagining that Riise, Gerrard and Pennant would play as a central 3, rather than leaving Gerrard alone.

Then Pennant could bomb on, Gerrard shift right, and he and Riise would be a central 2 when we're in the ascendancy.

That's the plan, at least!

I think it's amazing that Pompey are still capable of operating a football club, considering that the whole town was buried by a volcano.

I remember being at the same fixture last season. Hamann smashed that 30 volley into the top corner, even back then they gave us a game. If we win i'm not expecting nothing more than a 1-0 or 2-1.

by **Redman in wales** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 10:53 am

the list unavailable for this game is now:

Harry Kewell
Mark Gonzalez
Fabio Aurelio
Xabi Alonso
Momo Sissoko
Stephen Warnock
Boudewijn Zenden
Craig Bellamy

:no

god obviously doesnt like us having any midfielders!

by **SouthCoastShankly** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 2:50 pm

I think we can get past this mini-crisis by playing the three centre-backs again.

Reina

Carragher Hyypia Agger

Pennant Gerrard Garcia Riise

Kuyt Crouch Fowler

or play 4-3-3

Reina

Finnan Carragher Agger Riise

Pennant Gerrard Garcia

Kuyt Crouch Fowler

by **mattylfc** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 3:10 pm

With the latest set back, i would line up like this:

Reina

Finnan Hyppia Agger Riise

Pennant Gerrard JC Garcia

Kuyt Crouch/Fowler

thats what i'd go for, either that or swap Carra and Agger round... depending on how training goes and who feels more comfortable in that role.

personally i would keep the 442 and not revert to either of the 2 teams in SouthCoastShankly's post above (no offence SouthCoast, just my opinion) as they both make gerrard sit back infront of the back back 4 and not go forward.

by **HOMER** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 4:12 pm

4-4-2
