Get your self down the pub mate

Believe me I'd love to

If you're heading down to the match, have a great time and I hope we win! Reharding that, I think the team will have received a necessary kick up the arse after Sunday, and hopefully they will realise they must raise their game for massive challenges like this. The Premier League as a competition looks unlikely an ambition for us, so we should give the best we can in Cup competitions, or we may end up regretting it.

Liverpool are on the back of two domestic blanks but still have happy memories of playing Marseille not too long ago... but I think home advantage will be too much of a positive, and like last season in the CL, we should win.

EDIT - Having seen the teams, I think we should win 3-0

I can see Chelsea crusing tonight!!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Me too. I don't want to sound complacent, but is Benitez on drugs? Surely he realises this is one of the best chances of obtaining silverware this campaign, and should field a stronger team. There are two regular players in their starting XI, and a further one on the bench. I mean, without Torres and Gerrard, they are going to lack in presence. But we have to be wary of Alonso. He may have been out injured for a while but his distribution is first class, and Crouch may thrive on a Terry-less CFC defence.

Why Ben Haim? He's bloody useless. Its bad enough having JT missing and Carvalho just back, why not keep Alex in?

We'll see.

apparently Alex is back in Brazil....his Mrs is expecting

[Ollie 4,400]

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

isee tal benhaimisplaying crouchwill crucify him,hespants

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Awful free-kick by Lamps, but at least he hit Xabi in the chest Glad that man Ricardo Carvalho is back

[Ollie 4,400]

why lampard takes free kicks is beyond me, mikel has started off like a pedestrian. He's been caught twice and aint even breaking sweat.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Bridge and Belletti have impressed me greatly so far. Good atmosphere.

[Ricky10 5]

I hope ballack comes on aint seen him play in ages

[Ricky10 5]

Lamaprd nearly scored he should have tokk on the keeper unlucky

Its in Chinese and about 1 or 2 minutes behind

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Good save by the goalkeeper for Liverpool. Lamps seems to have no luck so far tonight. I fancied him to slot that one ine.
