Birmingham: Carling Cup 4th Rd (8th Nov 2006)

Play the kids?

How much of a weakened side should we play - bearing in mind we have the Arse on Sunday.

I would like to see Paletta get another game, and Gonzo could do with a run out.  Fowler is probably a certainty up front, and Bellamy needs a game.

I don't expect Garcia to feature at Highbury so him in as well and maybe Agger too.

Might be a fairly strong second string XI? Thoughts.

Oh, 2-1 reds.  No 7-0's this time round!

This is the team i would put out:

                         
Reina

Paletta / Hypia / Agger / Warnock

Pennant / sissoko / Zenden / Gonzalez

Bellamy / Fowler

subs: Dudek / Finnan / Gerrard / Alonso / Kuyt


A strong enough side to beat Birmingham

2-1 they get a late goal..

Dudek

Finnan
Agger
Paletta
Aurelio

Pennant
Gerrard
Sissoko
Garcia

Kuyt
Zhar?

I fully expect Robbie to get a hat-trick.

I reckon he may even have put a fiver on it himself.

The website bet (any winnings towards Michael Shields campaign)

is 3-1 to the reds (14/1).

We got first scorer and correct result double against Reading last week so let's hope our lucky streak continues.

If you fancy a repeat of the 7-0 it's 500/1!!

Sissoko injured!
NOOO!
Aldo has just said that he has injured his Clavical (Collar Bone)
He's been down 5 minutes  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:
It sounds really serious...
Paramedics and Liverpool players are surrounding him.
 :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Looked like his right arm popped out the socket...

Hopefully just a dislocation and a couple of weeks out.

1-0 gettttttinnnn agggggggeeeeeerrrrrrr

Another goal for our free-scoring centre-back.

I like the Dane a lot!

Just call me The Doctor then!  

Get well soon Momo.   You're still boss!



And in other news from Goodison Park.

Gerr off James McFatty....

Superb running from Gonzo to get the pen,

but Bellamy - what a sh*t penalty.  He even did a step and then still hit it straight at the keeper.

Shocker.  Get Kuyt on!

Kuyt on...for Fowler.

Captains armband passed to...Dudek.

 :shock:

Final Score 1-0

Good result.  Clean sheet.  Away win.

Positives: Lee Peltier - looked assured at right back.  Agger - continuing scoring.  

Negatives: Momo - could be out for a while.  Bellamy - woeful finishing.  Hope he gets his confidence back soon.

It looks like Pennant is going to get another chance at Arsenal now with Gerrard and Alonso in the centre.

Think I would prefer Riise on the left wing, Warnock left back and Gonzalez on the right wing for Arsenal.

Get well Momo.  Well done lads.  When's the draw for the next round?

Chelsea and Arsenal still in tourney.

Thought bolo zenden had a good match

(Get well soon Sissoko)

G'day all from down under, glad to see we got through, sorry about Momo, get well soon mate.

Down here we dont get any Carling Cup action so missed it all, was on the computer nice and early to get those streams Rushie but of course they didnt work.....never wants to buffer for me for some reason even after installing it and all the other crap you have to do to get it. It's doping my head in........anyway what I'm getting at, is, does anyone have a link  where I can atleast see the goal? or even some highlights.....cant wait till youtube tomorrow....need my fix.....now


Cheers

Yeah the stream was a bit dodgy tonight - surprised cos usually a lot of them available when its on our Sky Sports over here.

Ah well.  You didn't miss the world's greatest game anyway.  A lot of Craig Bellamy missed chances, and 7 minutes of panicking while Momo lay on the pitch and got stretchered off.

As for the goal.  It's in the match report mate
