Oops, I did it again! ;)

I've seen the squad listed on a few sites and there's no mention of Hyypia. Anyone know where he is/why?

Hmmm... for this match?

[Samarkand]

Teamtalk, amongst others, has this squad: (http://www.teamtalk.com/football/preview/0,16374,1776_4667041,00.html) Reds (from): Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger, Dossena, Babel, Benayoun, Gerrard, Mascherano, Lucas, Alonso, Riera, Kuyt, Keane, Ngog, Cavalieri, Insua, El Zhar.

I think he has more flexibility without wasting a spot on Hyypia. Even if a CB or FB goes down, he can slide Carra, use Alonso, use Kuyt. He's got cover there.

I think he really wanted El Zhar in there - just in case.

[Samarkand]

Hyypia has been playing very well in recent games and even if the Arsenal game is not a perfect match for him, it's a mistake to take to the field with only 2 specialist centerhalves. Not saying Hyypia should start, but he should have a place on the bench.

Who goes where if Agger or Carragher go down?

I for one don't think Rafa will have only two center halves going into this match

Ah 26, I was going to pwn the other guy who came onto the thread :cool: :(

Alonso plays CB.

If Arbs goes down, Kuyt plays RB.

I honestly think that Rafa would do those things. It's a bit of a long shot that he'd need to.

Apparently, he doesn't think Arsenal will play with two front runners. Instead, he may expect them to split the forwards or play a 4-2-3-1.

Arsenal better play with 5 midfielders if they want possession.

I envision an Arsenal OG followed by fantastic headlines Monday.

I envision an Arsenal OG followed by fantastic headlines Monday.Obviously denying possession is the key. They've had their trouble when under pressure when they have the ball, I think we can shut them down before they get to deep into our half.
They won't overload their defense they're the home team and 'expected' to come at us.

I really think our "big 3" should be able to throttle these guys. Something depends on which fabragas shows up , if hes ordinary they may find us pretty tough to chew but he can be very good also.

I really think we can win this, should hopefully be a great game.

Ok- in on this thread.
