EskWeston 696 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 We should have ourselves in a position to be able to win the tie without too much problems. We had them under control in the last leg and we should be able to do the same this time. We need to take our chances better though and bang a couple of goals in to give us the comfort.

DavidEU 2,023 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Only sold 1600/6000 tickets for this one. So if you can, get up there, special train going from London for £10. Gutted that I cant go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Where you hear this?? I read on CFCNet that there was only 2,200 tickets left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 I want to go down. Problem is, I have the plague. That plague is school, and I don't fancy a trip back from Merseyside. Plus Scousers operate around Goodison. My dad has nice alloys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Its a midweek game, people have work and school in the morning. I guarantee Everton don't sell all their tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it is no real suprise we havn't sold out our allocation for this game really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,315 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Get back to London or the South around 4 am with work the next day ? Yeah right. SWP is out with severe bruising or something, so that makes 8 potential regulars that would normally be first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pretty much limits us to there being only 1 possible team we could put out: ....................Cech....................... Belletti....Alex........Carvalho....Bridge J.Cole......Maka.....Ballack.....Malouda ............Anelka.......Pizzarro............. Should be enough still to get us through to the final, but if we pick up another injury we are f**ked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a pretty strong side though, and can see it maybe going to extra time with another final against the Arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a pretty strong side though, and can see it maybe going to extra time with another final against the Arse I have a feeling we will get the spurs in the final. I think we can win this game though with that team and be able to progress to the final without too much fuss. I would hate to got to extra time or have a tight end to the game.

Like you say as long as no one gets carted off, that defence and having Maka should stop them. Hope we can score early on, 0-0 at 80 mins or something could be a nightmare.

EskWeston 696 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 There will be a lot of pressure on Malouda and J.Cole tommorow because Ballack will not be able to get forward as much as when playing the 4-3-3 so the wingers will have to create the supply line to Anelka and Pizarro and Pizarro will need to up his overall contribution to the team game. If we can play close to what we did in the first leg then we will have no problem as we managed to completely stop Everton from playing at all, but i don't think it will be that simple this time.

Fulham Broadway 17,315 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Its the sort of game where Kalou and SWP would be ideal for unlocking their defence, but JC and Malouda will have to do it. Also a chance for Anelka to open his account. Looking forward to this one, it all seems fairly balanced, unless they score first of course.

Unfortunately for us this game should already be over, we should have buried them long before Mikel got sent off but we didn't take our chances. Creating chances was a problem for us at the weekend and we will need to remedy that for tommorow. If we can put a few chances Anelka's way i think he will get a goal, he has created a few good chances for himself so far and been unlucky.
