Bloody hell. Our team when we faced Boro at Anfield in the league cup in 2004.

Haha that's magnificent. Getting largely that team to any cup final easily mirrors Hannibal's crossing of the Alps with a bunch of elephants.

Just want to see a good performance tonight, somehow or other. I don't care how we do it, I just want to see a bit of verve from us.

Come On Redmen, let's win this!!!

Would play the first team to be honest - they need the practise.

Liverpool: Dudek, Raven, Henchoz, Whitbread, Warnock, Nunez (Smyth 70), Diao (Partridge 111), Biscan, Potter, Mellor (Welsh 52), Sinama Pongolle.
Subs Not Used: Kirkland, Foy.

Still think Richie Partridge will make it. Hope Brendan throws him on tonight.

Some pace in that midfield, eh?

Whitbread and Potter sounds like a welding firm! Whitbread is an American lad I think, and Potter was a local lad.

Whitbread was born in Texas, but moved to Runcorn at a young age. I think he only got one or two US senior caps.

That's some change

Actually I will pick a strong defence of Skrtel, Sakho and Enrique (Give Lovern some time off for against everton). Middlesboro are doing pretty well in the championship.

If the players don't play with intensity......this is a potential banana skin...

GlenJohnson2 · « **Reply #287 on:** September 23, 2014, 05:28:36 pm »

Hope and think Markovic will start tonight

With the derby on Saturday. No chance.

Would just like to see anyone who is due to start this weekend, getting a rest tonight whether that's the full 90 or minimal game time. Give the rest of the lads a run out and see what they can do.

They've just come off 3 games in 7 days. They need a break more than they need the practice.

RideTheWalrus · « **Reply #291 on:** September 23, 2014, 05:44:55 pm »

Bit busy, has the squad been announced for this? How many youngsters in it?

Keita Success · « **Reply #292 on:** September 23, 2014, 05:47:21 pm »

One of those times where we need a balance or first team and reserves/youth. Get it wrong, and we have to rush the 'rested' players on. Is it ET if a draw at 90?

Brentieke · « **Reply #293 on:** September 23, 2014, 05:51:22 pm »

Got a feeling, based on my Summer prediction that the Universe will fuck with us this year, that this will go to extra time.

God knows how it ends though.

Remember last year? 2-0 up against Notts Co and it went to ET a few days before we played Manure at Anfield. Cissokho and Toure both stretchered off iirc. Nightmare night, that's why I'd be happy to see a youth team later even though I'm going.

lobsterboy · « **Reply #298 on:** September 23, 2014, 06:12:07 pm »

Play the first team.
They did fuck all on Saturday so should still be fresh.

Now that would be odd after he was rested for the Villa game. Can't be true.
