chelsea to win 2-0.. -
Exciting match. Can't wait -
Most certain starter : S.Gerrard & P.Crouch . Both have an extra off day at Blackburn .
Reina
Finnan
Hyypia
Carragher
Riise
Gerrard
Alonso
Kewell
Sissoko
Garcia
Crouch
Most likely formation : 4-5-1 -
big match!!! should pool win i think we can go all the way to win the cup as well...
at least to make up the disapointment of being out of champions league so early....
-
I think they will play fowler instead of garcia just becuase he is on-form and unlikely to play with 4-5-1 anymore which prove to be a non-goal scoring formula for LFC
-
Fowler is not eligible for the FA Cup.
Liverpool have to play 4-4-2 formation to beat Chelsea.
However, I agreed with the rest of the fans in Ah Ben on the stubborn 4-5-1 formation with the Bean Pole in front.
Chelsea is on a winning streak.
Liverpool is back to the 1-0 wonder.
The goal fest have dried up.
I dun expect Liverpool to win. -
4-5-1 obviously doesn't work against Chelsea.
Peter Crouch cannot work alone upfront.
It's sad that Fowler is cup-tied.
Truth be told, I'll cross my fingers.
-
Not too much confidence for this match. It could be a goaless draw or 1-1.
There's a chance that Liverpool might win, given their form now.

3-2 to pool.... 4-4-2 with Cisse and Crouch, Gerard alonso sissoko kewell. same back 4....
-
Reason to rest Gerrard was that Gerrard will be deploy as a free role midfielder , task of defending will be to Alonso and Sissoko .
Gerrard will have an extra burden to push forward and nick in a few goals , of course with Crouch in a more supporting role .
Garcia will be more like a predator , lurking in from those gaps , create movement to create gaps for others to explore . -

Think again , if we don't control the midfield , we'll be digging our own grave letting Chelsea control the midfield .
We can only destroy their rhythm by putting five men across the pitch and not letting play how they want it , and it's up to us to control and create goals for front runners . -
Maybe Rafa shld try for one time put Cisse a lone striker....4-5-1...rest crouch on the bench...Originally posted by Poolman:4-5-1 don't work against Chelsea ?

Cisse is a pacy type of player , pace can't won the game . Crouch is a holding type of player , holding the possessions and create from there .Originally posted by dcx:Maybe Rafa shld try for one time put Cisse a lone striker....4-5-1...rest crouch on the bench...
We need someone that can hold the ball in the middle , and creations begins from the middle . -

Liverpool did deployed 4-5-1 formation against Chelsea, controlled the midfield excellently but still lose due to lousy striker.
Liverpool struggled to score against the last few matches after the GOD have scored.
Chelsea will be more hungry as they can afford to lose to Man Utd on 29 Apr and still win the EPL title.
If Stevie is not on fire on Saturaday, then Liverpool would have a harder time in beating Chelsea.
I am not convinced that the team is hungry for the FA Cup. -
Our FA Cup double on the way , our Youth Team had just beaten Man City to win this season's FA Youth Cup .
Congrats the lads ! -
