Leto to start!!! Now I'm freakin' pumped for a match I was otherwise dreading. If Leto plays as well as he did in the preseason, this should be a hella fun match to watch. The kid has the ability to wreak havoc on opposing defenses almost at will. Lucas Leiva will also be on the bench in a true show of the kind of depth our squad contains.
Here's the line-up:
Reina
Riise
Hyypia
Agger
Arbeloa
Leto
Sissoko
Mascherano
Benayoun
Kuyt
Crouch
Subs:
Itandje
Finnan
Torres
Alonso
Pennant
Babel
Lucas
I hope Mascherano will be on attack and Sissoko will sit back, but it really depends if Momo is tired or not. Leto and Benayoun will really have to step up on bringing the ball if we are going to score here. Agger needs to also play better than he has recently. I'm hoping we get to see Leiva come in for Sissoko at the half. Anyhow, here's to at least an entertaining match and to Rafa for finally showing some balls and experimenting a little.
