No worries, comments are alwys welcome esp those coming from Utd and Everton fans =D

Maybe the rest of Pool fans might feel ashamed of the result, but personally i'd prefer to enjoy the play on the field more then anything else, after all football is just an entertainment.

Let's look forward to the next game at the Bridge, with the hectic fixtures just 1 week away, key players like Torres and Gerrard should be rest but our depth quite deep la, still can field a decent team out.

I think it'll be sth like this,

Itandje

Finnan
Hobbs
Hyypia/Carragher ©
Aurelio

El Zhar
Alonso
Sissoko/Lucas
Leto/Babel

Voronin
Crouch

As usual, although it is only the Carling Cup, still a trophy to win in e end hope we can get pass the Blues.

Torres was mostly isolated in attack most of the time and when his need assistance, his partner Kuyt was no where near.

I was surprise that Rafa did not use Crouch earlier seeing Van Der Sar was fumbling crosses. Crouch would have make his height count against Man Utd's defence.

Really don't understand why Rafa prefer Kuyt to Crouch although to be fair to Kuyt, his work rate has always been good but his performances in most matches is below par.

Actually there is 2 side of a coin. AW & AL used the Carlings Cup ties for the younger on the fringe and reserve players is for them to gain the neccessary experience in playing against other English teams.

Most of these young players might not even get on the bench unless the club suffer a list of injured players.

With the experience of having played in Carlings Cup, they would adapt better to the fast pace game of the modern EPL.

Honestly, all along the Carlings Cup aka League Cup aka Milk Cup is never the most important cup for the managers to win.

Don't worry - I won't call them reserve players any more because Liverpool has a big squad now. For example, Finnan, Lucas, Alonso, Voronin, Crouch, Babel and even Sissoko are not reserve players - they just didn't get selected in the first 11 for the last game, for various reasons.

I believe we can more than match Chelski on Wednesday night.

Chelsea will be without JT & Drogba and has just come off a bitter defeat to their london rivals Arsenal.

Likewise, Pool has also came out of a bitter defeat to Man Utd in a game that they should have at least draw then suffer a defeat.

In recent histories, Pool has more often comes up top against Chelsea in cup ties. I believe that Pool should do enough to go thru to the S/Finals.

Haha, u really look up on Liverpool hor. :p

I think Chelsea is going to field a very strong squad wif Lampard leading the side but i believe the Reds can advance if Itandje doesn't make careless mistakes.

London Bridge is falling down~

Agree with your line-up except for El Zhar. If Rafa plays Lucas AND Sissoko, then he won't need to play someone who may not have sufficient first team exposure. We need to have good cover on the bench for such games too and I would put : Reina, Arbeloa (can play full-back and centre-back), Gerrard, Masch and Torres.
