Ventspils are presently topping the Latvian table with an undefeated record of 12-3-0. 28 goals for and just eight against, but I don't really think any of that matters. No matter what form they are in at present, Lillestrom will have taught the lads that they can't take any team lightly, and this should be a comfortable away win.

With all due respect to FK Ventspils I think that Lillestrom would go into this game thinking that they would destroy them, not to mention Newcastle.

I had a dream that I was at this match last night. Given made an awful giveaway for their first goal, but we struck back and won 4-2. I was freezing in the stands, and it was like a high school stadium. Oh man.

[ToonUSA]

Looks like we will have French officials.

22 man squad left for Riga today.

Ameobi, Babayaro, Boumsong, Bramble, Butt, Carr, Duff, Emre, Given, Harper, Huntington, Krul (who?), Luque, Milner, Moore, Zoggy, O'brien, Parker, Pattison, Ramage, Solano, Taylor.

I wonder if he will go with Shola alone up front.

Krul is the third keeper.

I think 4-5-1 is the way we're gonna go. We had success with it and the midfielders on the squad, those who have played at least, are playing pretty well.

I like this lineup and think it can be tough in the league this season. We have Milner, Luque, Butt, Brabmle, and Ramage as subs.

Krul is the dutch U21 keeper........a bright prospect, however, we've got God in net so not sure he isn't much more than a piece of business in a few years.

Unlike God, Shay Given will retire at some point.

I thought the old line was Jesus was a goalie because he saves. :)

Roeder hints at 4 of the starters this morning...

Moore and Bramble in back, of course Shola up front...and Nicky Butt in the midfield.

I can't see Butt taking Duff or Parker's place...Solano I would imagine would be dropped for Milner...so in some sort of 4-5-1 Butt would be for Zogs or Emre. I think it's going to be Emre.

SHOLA
