Hard to say birmingham wouldwant to throw this match away cos they need to focus on their survivor .
personally i think they should , i think if i'm Steve Bruce , if i am to beat Liverpool this time , next time i might be beaten in the semi final , and it's back to Sq-One .
And jeopardise my own survivor .
Only bonus to hold on for a replay - $$$$$$$$$ , other than that , nothing !
Pride ? Nay ... it's pride or be relegated . -
David Dunn and Muzzy Izzet injury , both not likely to feature for the rest of the season .
David Dunn ?
Hmm ... always an important player for Birmingham , with him , Birmingham do stand a chance , now without him , Steve Gerrard are going to boss the midfield relatively with ease .....
birmingham in trouble ...... now their key player : J.Pennant . -
i dont think this will be a one-sided match.
-
Liverpool might be tired.. cos this match is played jus 2 days after their match against newcastle on sunday..

the prize money of the fa cup is nothing compared to staying in the premiership..

Birmingham also played on saturday .... but they have a worst situation , their injury lists kept piling up after that match against Spurs .Originally posted by Qing^.^:Liverpool might be tired.. cos this match is played jus 2 days after their match against newcastle on sunday..
Matthew Upson could be out , Heskey has a knock ..... Izzet out ... Dunn ceratinly out .....
Liverpool could be playing with ...
1.Reina
2.Finnan
3.Carra
4.Hyypia
5.Traore
6.Gerrard
7.Kewell
8.Alonso
9.Garcia
10.Crouch , most certain to play
11.Nando or Fowler
So fatigue is not the main issue here . -
If Dunn is out, it may be easier for us.
Anyway, it's up to us 2 to the job. We're on form rite now and they've 1/2 the mind on the relegation battle.... we shd be good enuff to progress!
3-5-2 again anyone?!
-
5-3-2 defense , converts to 3-5-2 when attack
Agger , Hyypia , Carrager ....... supported by Kromkamp and Traore . -
Tricky tie.
Let's hope 'Pool gets through without having to resort to replays.

If I remember correctly, Liverpool under Benitez has never beaten Birmingham..Playing away makes it even tougher.
The good news though is that the LFC strikers are finding their scoring touch again. Birmingham are struggling with first team injuries, and their priorities are surely with the EPL.
The FA Cup is LFC's only realistic chance of silverware, so I expect Rafa to field a strong team. Birmingham plays well at home but recent results have not gone in their favor.
It looks like a narrow win for LFC.
-
1 - 1 draw.
Cisse & Heskey to score.
Cisse to be shot by rubberband for ya-yaing in front of the fans. -
*Yawn* ........ Birmingham made Liverpool looked so good , up to date ... 5-0 ...Riise just score a thunderbolt !
First 5 minutes , 2-0 ... game over ! The rest is formality .
The moment Hyypia scored the first goal , Birmingham has already conceded the match .
What ? 6-0 to Liverpool ... Tebily own goal .
Don't get me wrong , we were good in all departments ... in a way ... Birmingham made us looked so good .
We need to play better if we are to win the FA Cup .
Saw the last goal , how on earth Birmingham's defenders allowed Kewell to manouvre around the box like that ? -
1-0 or 6-0 or 10-0 ...... it's nothing compares to the re-appearance of MOMO SISSOKO !
Welcome back Momo ! How's that goggle ? -
Good luck to Birmingham , they have my blessing for the survivor , but i doubt they'll stay .
What ? 7-0 ? Hmm ..... so sad for Steve Bruce . His face ... just motionless , just plain humiliation !
Birmingham biggest disgrace in their entire history i guess , and Steve Bruce Brum's career . -
Wat a rout.. wat a preformance
Enjoy!
