    Unwell, lying in bed all day, bored waiting for this game. Hope we win, must have good chance with Benfica selling 2 good midfielders and having their captain suspended.

    Luisao, but he's suspended for two months. Don't know who the vice captain is though.

    He knocked the referee out with a shoulder to the chin. He should have been banned for 2 years let alone 2 months.

    I would drop Izzyguire for this game because he has not been good enough lately, and play Mulgrew at left back.

    Would also like to see more mobility upfront so I would play Watt just off Hooper

    Forster

    Matthews Rogne Wilson Mulgrew

    Brown Wanyama Ledley Commons

    Watt

    Hooper

    The ref made a meal of it, gets knocked to the ground and acts as if he's just been knocked out by a Klitschko, thirty seconds later gets back up and abandons the game.

    Ref was a bit * on this to be honest, but Luisão shouldn't have done that anyway, regardless of the 'injury' to the referee.

    Luisão hasn't been suspended, yet, on UEFA competitions, so as it stands he is playing.

    If he doesn't play, our captain is likely to be Aimar, but he won't play a full game either, so your guess is my guess, as Maxi is out too.

    Not optimistic at all but being at home is the 1 thing we can cling on to, the atmosphere will be incredible.

    I'd take a 1 nil 89th minute winner right this second but I think Forster will have to have another Helsingborgs performance for us to have any chance of that. Benfica are a quality side.

    Yes. But big ask to shove someone into a key position in such a vital game when he virtually knows nothing about the players around him.
