So we're having to do it the hard way, win three on the bounce in the Champions League just to make the Last 16 and beat the Ruski roubles on their own turf for a League Cup semi. What odds we land Arsenal, the mancs or Chelsea in the FA Cup 3rd round?
I get this ominous feeling we won't be unbeaten in the league for many hours longer
Thats all our own fault.
Reguarding the draw I was slightly hoping for an all Mersey affair and rather hoped we would draw Everton home or away. However it seems we are destined for another encounter with this joke of a football club.
Reckon Benitez will stick with some of the younger lads and just hope for the best. Personally I wouldn't put any of the first teamers (Torres, Kuyt, Gerrard, Carra, Reina and Alonso) anywhere near this fixture, but injuries are kind of forcing our hand. I reckon Chelsea will have the same ethos as neither manager will want to lose the game with full strength teams out so expect chopping and changing from both with a so so attitude towards the result of the game.
Oh well, there is a first time for everything! It's gonna be interesting which teams are put out, as it is right in the middle of a very busy december period.
turn up
