I just have this feeling that will make it against Juve. They are convinced they will win, and Liverpool have looked their best when everyone thought they would lose. Smells like the seeds to an upset to me.

I think Igor will have a good game, because when we have needed him, he has been there (this is not an Igor thread),and with Xabi playing, it is a different team to Tuesday. Let's just hope that Milan finds the net (I feel he wants to go to Italy, and he will want to impress there). Garcia will have a screamer (I would say he is our most inform player).

This is the biggest game and their stadium will be full. We will see the big game players show up. I cannot wait to face Chelsea!

this is a real strength of the character of our team, under strength squad, players just returning from long injury lay offs, facing a hostile crowd in a stadium which is rarely ever full, i just wish dudek starts as i would prefer carson but dudek is more experienced and carson will no doubt be a great keeper but going from division 1 to under 21's to the satdio del api, mite be a bit too much for young man, just need to believe in ourselves and if they do score early on, have to make sure we respond, arsenal beat inter 5-1 away chelsea beat lazio 4-0 english clubs have a great record against italian teams so lads just keep your chins up

It is actually about the fact that I cannot wait for Chelsea, it is also about the fact that we perform best when underdogs and that with Xabi playing it is a different team.

In case you don't know, we are playing Juventus in one day. Biggest game of the season. What else do you think people will talk about.

I agree. I like Carson more, but I think maybe too much too fast. He seems to be level headed though.

The Italians as with the Spanish assume their clubs are much better than everyone else, which is not necessarily the case. Juventus must attack, and the Italians are masters of defence and not attack. The pressure is actually on them.

I went out on a limb and said we would make it, but nobody was interested. People seem to like negative news.

COME ON YOU REDS, BRING ON CHELSEA!!!

Jamie Carragher screamer from 30 yards in injury time of the 2nd leg to win it would be just perfect!!  :D

It all depends on which Liverpool goes to play. The one that lost to city, or the team that beat Juventus at Anfield.

One thing in our favour is Everton must play Man u at home, and Arsenal and Bolton away. We have only Arsenal away (but the way our team is playing, Crystal Palace and Portsmouth away are not bankers though they should be). In short when you look at the table, goal difference is a good indicator of who the best teams are. On that evidence, Liverpool will make it to 4th spot (God I hope so).
