Good team that.

Do bloody well hope we give them a good roasting in their own backyard. Shouldn't get too complacent though.

Hope Darby has a good game - put that horrible mistake against Fiorentina behind him.

Would have preferred Spearing to start and Gerrard on the right in place of Kuyt and thought Pacheco would have made the bench at least.

All the same, strong line up and we should win this game.

Fed up of waiting now.

Just want it to start!

I'm looking forward to seeing Nando & N'Gog together tho' i'm not sold on the need for the defensive qualities of Dirk & Fabio against this shower - my preference would have been for Yossi & Alberto. 'Mon the Reds.

Nice to see a strong side , better to start with the main men and take them off than having to bring them on to rescue a game .

I know what you mean.

To be honest I would've preferred Babel.

Where the F**k is Pacheco!?

Darby to improve after the Fiorentina game.

Insua and Kuyt - I'm expecting big things.

And Carragher and Gerrard - surely you pair can turn it on against Reading?

Would have liked to see Pacheco atleast on the bench but that side will do me
Rafa clearly signalling how important this cup is to us this year
Come on you reds!

Good team that, disappointed to see Pacheco absent though.

Come on you Reds!

Really good win required today, strong team , so come on you Reds. Going to say 0 - 4 with a Torres hat trick.

Looking forward to seeing how Torres, Ngog and Stevie link up.

I join those mourning the absense of Pacheco!

Im hoping Torres rapes them.

I think Pacheco's still playing with the train set he got for Christmas.

As for your Torres comment I'd rather he didn't re-aggravate his groin injury.

Good team line up.
Can't wait for this, should be a good game.

When was the last time we won 3 matches on the spin?

When was the last time we won 3 matches on the spin?

Not even sure if we have this season :/
Probably around the end of last season

ITV say Carra at RB and Darby CB... That's got to be wrong

When was the last time we won 3 matches on the spin?

Last season i think

Good to see Ngog but why is Aquilan not starting ?

Hope Gerrard,Ngog and Torres can all link up well, if they play well today why not keep the same team and formation, just a straight swap Aquilani for Lucas.

Come on you Reds.
