I am already a bag of nerves over this game, I will be even worse by kickoff. Rafa has to get the team, formation and tactics right for this match. I haven't a clue which team or formation I would put out tonight. I want Crouch to play but I am worried that Gerrard may get carried away and charge forward leaving us exposed at the back in a 4-4-2.
0-0 will do me fine tonight. I hope sami plays because I think they will pump balls into our box as the match goes on. There is no problem with us defending deep as the onus is on them to score and maybe we can catch them on the break or threaten enough to make them hesitant about throwing bodies forward.
