      I see the boss didn't take my advice.

      Looks like a team to keep it tight for a while try and nick a goal.

      Interesting to see who plays where in midfield but I see it as this

      Reina

      Johnson  Carra  Agger  Enrique

      Lucas  Gerrard

      Allen

      Downing  Suarez  Henderson

      Would love Carra to make up for his abysmal goalscoring record tonight and bag a couple! :D

      Tough task, especially with some of our more potent attacking threats ineligible, but certainly not impossible.

      Two goals minimum is more than possible, I'm almost more worried defensively than up front.

      Gerrard and Allen will rotate i think.

      Hope Suso gets a run through the middle if we're struggling.

      Fingers crossed for an Anfield magical night!

      I like the look of the team, we need to try and up the tempo to hold Anfield liverpool fans after them.

      I think so as well and with Lucas and Allen there it might be to allow Gerrard more freedom to attack if and when he feels the need.

       We have got to attack them from the start and get an early goal and put them under pressure.we have to beat them by 3 goals so it is no good sitting back hoping to pinch a goal.We can not afford to go out of this cup,we need to win it for our own pride and respect.CAN WE DO IT -YES WE CAN.

      Just don't see a lot of goals from that lineup. Hope I'm wrong but it looks just like the lineup we always had earlier in the year when we were all screaming for an additional striker.

      Hopefully Gerrard will be deployed more forward and can link up with Luis. We need to get goals early and often!

      COYR!

      If Gerrard pushes right up with Suarez then that looks a good team. I probably would have gone with Sterling or Suso though to offer us that bit of trickery.

      If we keep a clean sheet I think we'll find the goals to go through (might need pens though) but if we concede either of the first two goals I think we'll be out. Struggling to see four goals in team - especially from behind.

      Hope everyone at Anfield drags our boys over the line!!!

      Looks like our best "passing" unit available...which is our form of defending nowadays, by keeping possession.  Seems as though the plan is pass them to a stand still and throw on some young legs late to pile on pressure.

      Come on Lads. Important thing is that we don't concede, simply because that away goal would kill any early momentum we must have.

      Early goal, crowd roaring and we should be able to do this.

      By not starting Sterling and having Suso and Shelvey there we do at least have a few attacking options as the game goes on.

      we need to press them earlly on and press them hard. We need a goal early on if we are planning on going further in EL. i personally would have started with Suso/sterling/assaidi instead of henderson and allen.

      Not conceding is the main thing initially. If for example we get to 75 minutes and then score the opener I'd fancy us to finish the job.

      Just watching LFCtv and the ground seems to be filling up quicker than usual by the looks of it.

      Very quiet on here though.

      No chance. It's either 5-2 or 0-0.
