      Looking forward to another Wembley visit on Sunday, gonna have to be at our best to get anything though and not squander chances like we have been doing, certainly an exciting game to look forward to, and Jürgen has received good news with injuries to Lovern and Lallana, tight game with a few goals in it and I fancy us to nick it 3-2.

      Hope Lovren is fit for this one, I can't believe I am writing this!.......I don't fancy Toure up against Aguero and Sakho has his hands full taking care of Moreno.

      I wonder if Klopp will be tempted with leaving Lucas at the back, apart from his one dodgy back pass he has looked pretty assured and seeing as though City don't have any Giants in their forwards his lack of height should not be an issue.

      We are once again a cup team and it feels good. Both teams are not going to be 100% after the Europe mid week games, but I think that will hurt them more than us. I think it will be an even game.

      We need to believe that we can win it. We need to be brave and work hard for every ball. Sturridge was rested yesterday half way in the second half and we need to put him in cotton for two days :) I'm won't be home in time for the Live thread but I will be home in time to watch it :)

      What Kolo loses in pace, makes it up with his excellent positional awareness. Kolo for Lucas might be the only change from last night's game.

      And I tend to think that Can playing a DM makes him a bit more responsible than games where he has played CM. He has lost possession a silly number of times in his attempts to charging forward and has hit wayward passes. Him man-marking Silva could be the deal-breaker in the game! Hendo and Milner assisting our full-backs in negating their wingers (the-one-I-do-not-want-to-name) !!

      I don't think you are being serious? It is not a coincidence that all the top clubs that are not in Champions League are taking this competition seriously. It used to be the case that people field fringe players until UEFA said winners get a Champions League place. We played our strongest side against Ausberg, why wouldn't we against United? I think you are not being serious and just want to say something stupid for the heck of it.

      EDIT: I thought I was in the Europa League thread, but we still want to win league cup.

      I thought I wasn't seeing things right but thanks you guys for confirming that it was as it first appeared. Looked through his posting history as well - you sure as hell can type sh*t like that but you sure as hell can't say it. Unspeakable sh*t.

      Thought Klopp might possibly rest a few guys before before the final, but pretty much full strength team out on Thurs.

      Whatever anyone might think of this competition, it's one of the Trophy's out there to win, we're in the final, and imo have as good a chance as Shitty of winning it. Just hope we go out there and perform, don't let the occasion get to us, cause it'd be pretty brilliant to see us lift our first trophy under Klopp :)  Winning is a habit, never a bad time to get hooked.

      Hard to know if Shitty are really coming into form, based off the back of a good CL win away midweek. I saw a little bit of that first half and the ruskies were REALLY bad in the bit that I saw. In saying that, do think Sergio is hitting some good form, so need to try keep him under tabs. Our defense seems to be getting a few clean sheets under the belt, so maybe that's good timing !

      Our midfield hasn't been great, and not sure I see much changing there performance wise on Sunday, so need the lads up front to step up. Have been a but underwhelmed by the front 3 in last couple of games. Buckets of ability, maybe couple haven't had enough time back from injury to be at their sharpest, but we need them at their clinical Villa 0-6 best. Have to take our chances, and they're the guys they'll likely fall to. Would LOVE to see Cou or Studge or Rob (or combination of them) on the scoresheet, would also bode well for the rest of the Europa and the PL.

      Anyway, whatever about all that, am REALLY looking forward to it. Always a great occasion to walk out on the pitch at Wembley, great day out for all the fans, players etc, and possibly another trophy at the end of it. As KK might say, ee canny wait !! :)

      A win on Sunday is a trophy, that is what LFC is all about, plus qualification for the Europa league is all very nice, but surely winning trophies obviously comes first.
