I can see Rafa going into this game with a view to secure CL qualifications. He will put up the strongest team as possible. To go into semis with CL qualifications secured will lift the team morale ahead Chelsea. So I can see this game too big to rest players but probably some rotation will come. I can see Hyypia come in. I think Finnan and Alonso will return. Momo will be rested in a view to Chelsea game. I cannot see Gerrard and Carragher rested. Riise though maybe rested.

He will get rest for 2nd leg at Anfield, so no point in resting him for this game. We might do with starting Crouch, put him on the bench, and bring him in on 2nd half.

Surely such violent action deserve to be bring up to FA Board of Discipline?

They woulod even not in this stage of CL without controversial decisions. They have countless controversial decision so I had to hand it to them. Really.

Mancs's next goal will come from a penalty. See.

I'm serious. I have been so many years havent seen a Liverpool striker dribble so well and get past defenders with ease. Be patient.

While I understand Sissoko will always get more yellow cards than Rio Ferdinand while the latter is given freedom to kick all over the back the players he marked. I want to see Sissoko play every minute and I want to see Alonso and Gerrard along him too. Maybe Gerrard can adapt a right midfield role while Rafa's strength are clearly the wingers.

Kev, dont be surprise we might knock out Barca yet lost to Newcastle and Bluenose. Because we have so many foreign players who cannot adapt the physical side of PL. European referee is stricter and set a higher standard. Whereas in English game, referees dont protect the players enough so PL is like wrestling and often dubious decisions came in.

Kev is right. Kuyt has to be more selfish, getting into box and on last defender's shoulder. He does not need to track back so often because he is to getting goals for us. He doesnot need to play deeper just to cater the weaknesses of other forwards/strikers/players who cannot play deeper. I think Kuyt is the most complete and best striker I've ever seen in a very long time since King Dalglsih era. His dribbrings are so well that he can run with the ball any degree(angles) facing any defeners. He has the holding up of Heskey and finisher like God.

I want to see how Mancs can score without penalty.

Spurs is up for a upset today against Mancs. They are strong at home. I fancy a upset today and mancs to drop points.

What took FIFA so long? What are they doing everyday? Or they will give clearance only a few hours to transfer window closing so that we would fail to get him. What's so difficult, complicated?

The reason behind I back to offload him is we can use his wages for Ayala.

Thank you for his 7 years of good services. But his time is up. Not many Liverpool defenders can be as slow as he.

Berger is coming on for Villa. Hope he lasts the match.

Congrats, Jerzy. The baby must be a red.

It didnt even out. Big/Rich clubs got more favourable decisions. How could you explain Mike Riley awarding 12/13 consecutive penalties at Old Trafford? Please count also so this season far how many penalties decisions go your way in home and away games? It surely outnumbered other clubs.

2 referees is good idea, why was it stopped? The game have to move towards to more officials if FIFA reluctants to rely on technology.

Chelski won with red cards flying and plenty of injuries.

Referees's decisions increasingly influenced the game and result, you noticed the losing side always have player sent off or penalty decision against.

Do we care about yesterday(this season) or last season? Positioning is very important in zonal markings. Hyypia has always been very poor in positioning. AND he doesnt have Hamann and Henchoz to make up for him.

Hyypia is just not suited to zonal defending system. Opposition has identified him as weak link to attack to pull him out of position. He still has part to play, but he'll be squad player more. I wish to see Paletta play vs Carling Cup, so we can have a good look at him.

I hope Speedy didnt off injured. He was the 1 of only positives yesterday.

He's done a very good analysis. Gerrard is far more effective as supporting striker or at central( proven by Isntanbul and Tottenham when he moved to center more).

Alan Smith, Helguson.
