Chelsea v Liverpool 2nd Leg(1-1) Pre Match-League Cup 27th Jan SS1 19:45GMT

Expecting their players, and manager, to influence the ref as much as possible and basically cheat their way to a win.

This is a real possibility

come on reds!

Lets win this.

Anyone know about the away goals rule? Sure last time in a League Cup semi it only counted after Extra time and not 90 mins?

I think that's right.

Can't wait for this one and I think it'll be a great cup tie and a game we will remember.

I'm pretty confident of a win even though they have a great home record but I think if we go at them we can win it in normal time. Not sure if I'm just overly optimistic but I just cannot see us not reaching the final.

I think we should be at them from the start and pressing high which is the reason I've went for the side below and for me it's the best side we have right now until Danny gets back.

Is Sturridge not fit then?

I think that's right.

How does it work? if it's 1-1 normal time and we go into extra time, the away goal is activated and if it stays 1-1, we'll win (due to away goals) and no pens?

Nope, because they have 1 away goal also. If its a draw after 90 mins it goes to extra time no matter what. Then at the end of extra time if its 0-0 they win on away goals, 1-1 we go to pens, 2-2 or higher then we win on away goals

If it is 0-0 we go into extra time and after extra time they win. If it is 1-1, we both have the same number of away goals and after extra time we go to pens. If it is 2-2 it goes to extra time and after extra time we win due to having 2 away goals.

Oh yeah, I forgot, we drew 1-1, sorry! thought it was 0-0 at home

I got it, thanks!!!

Just tw*t these cu*ts, pleeeeease!

Really hoping Stevie bags a goal or 7. His scoring record Chelsea is pretty abysmal, surprisingly. Today would be a perfect day to put a dent in that.

Is Sturridge not fit then?

Pretty sure he isn't ready to start.

Congrats for tomorrow I'm awaiting mine in 4 months time

Boy or girl?!

would love a trip to wembley

We've decided to wait.. just for the thrill! 

It would be really great to see the "Special one" k'od out of two competitions in the space of a few days. Now that would really be worth celebrating. Especially in front of their plastic fans.

1-1 then mario to come off the bench in extra time score the winner rip his shirt off whith "why always me" tattooed on his chest in Red ink, run over bench press mourinho and do the Sturridge dance.

but in reality a tight nevous game with one team nicking it 1 nil

I'll be astounded if Maureen does not field a full fit X1, irrespective of last weekends disgrace,

Both clubs are one step away from playing under the arch so I would doubt he would jeapordise the chance of some tin,

However, I think he'll play a stifling game knowing if we were to score he'd be in deep sh*t,

On paper they can do us over of I'm honest, but we don't play on paper, same X1 as last week for me, Brendan changed it at the weekend but didn't quite work out, get back to normal and watch how comfortable we look, better balanced, more solid defensively and very competitive around the middle third,

Went for a 1-1 at home and a 1-2 away victory for the Mighty Reds, I see no reason to change it,
Tough times ahead for sure, but come thru this and I think it could be the catalyst to our season, no disrespect to the other two, but essentially whoever wins tonight (us) will be buying the brasso.

C'mon Redmen

Will be a very tough game as we all know but the performance at home gave great confidence to not only us, but I believe to the players too.

I'd certainly make them the favourites at home but we're not without a squeak and as someone mentioned above, to put Chelsea out of 2 cup competitions on the back of a 'disgraceful' performance should just add fuel the motivational fires.

Let's book our spot and knock these Chav cu*ts well and truly out.

Isolate and bypass Matic, and we win this.
Coutinho and Sterling will have a big part to play in that, as well as Gerrard.

I was also very impressed last match with BR pushing Moreno right up to negate ivanovic.
As a result, Willian was isolated and saw nothing of the ball.

Part two....

Vitally important we get an early goal, run at them from the off, don't let them settle on the ball, we can do this if we put our minds to it, but we need everyone to be right at the top of their game.

Excited but mega nervous at the same time.....gone for a 2-2 draw 

Come on the mighty REDS !!!!!!!!!
