i think we are suffering from the good old score-first-switch-off syndrome. we were all over the cockney kiddies in the 1st half and really should have put the game to the bed.. but we didn't.

we have lost many points due to this.. hopefully we can sort this asap.

knee jerking at it's best.

can you pls ask your crystal ball when i'm getting married?

Diamond could work actually.. babel (imo) is tailor made for that formation. he won't track back and isn't a natural winger, but he can handle either channels quite adequately.

Torres always love to drift through the flanks and with rafa has some sort of man crush with lucas and with gerrard, aquilani and masch all have to start, 4-1-2-1-2 is the way to go..

Rafa has tried this formation before. with Luis Garcia behind the deadly duo of Cisse and Baros.

i'd love to see this line-up

Reina
Johnson Carragher Agger Aurelio
Mascherano
Gerrard Aquilani
Benayoun
Babel Torres

Taufu.. lol

every team has injury proned player(s) like Aquilani. I'm not sure if you followed serie a or not, but roma has history of rushing players to action after long injury layoffs. That's why Aquilani hasn't even played 100 games in last three seasons. And that's why Rafa has been so cautious with him.

are you telling me that hargreaves (if you're a manc), rosicky (if you're a cockney mafia) are not prone to injuries?
