Leicester City v. Liverpool [R]

[RedKnight]

The first of "nine Cup finals."

Despite going off in the OM match, Owen will probably be fit:

Hopefully Murphy will be rested for this game - his passing of late has been shite at best.

Diouf surely deseres a place in the XI - to give width, protect the RB and give a decent attacking option that can find a man in the same colour shirt

[usscouse]

Moving on, I like that RedKnight, no good dwelling on what might have been.

AAAAAaaaaaaaaggggggH...!!!

That's better!

The line up looks good, Just need Emile to get another and Mikey to do his thing.

Owen is a major doubt

Houllier is already saying he is unavailable for the England friendly next week.

Looks like we may see Baros and Heskey up front. As I just dumped Owen from my fantasy team we'll see him start and bag a hattrick!

I wouldn't complain if he did

We're getting close to page 2, so someone get ready to post the Atkinson picture, we didn't in the last match and look what happened.

Agreed. I'd like to see Diouf for Murphy, and assuming Owen's out and Baros is in the XI, I suppose FSP is on the bench. Other than that, the lineup looks good.

You didn't specify Biscan's role though. Clearly he'll be doing a Bart Simpson on the locker room chalkboard for 90 minutes - "I will not get sent off in big matches. I will not get sent of fin big matches. I will not . . ."

If I was wrong about Owen's fitness, then yes, Baros of course, and FSP at the ready. I'm not sold on Diouf over Murphy the way everyone else is, but from what I have been able to tell, Spud may have earned himself a time-out after yesterday.

You didn't specify Biscan's role though.

Didn't think I had to, but you've got the right idea . . . let's specify that it's a chalkboard all the way back at Melwood, just to be safe.

Clearly he'll be doing a Bart Simpson on the locker room chalkboard for 90 minutes - "I will not get sent off in big matches. I will not get sent of fin big matches. I will not . . ."

Look--he even got that wrong! :)

Agreed, still.... Must. Resist. Urge. To Post " ******** off you goat-fellating frogs on the OM thread.

Bummer about Owen not being fit. Good that he's sitting out the England friendly, too, though I wouldn't mind Kopite's fantasy-busting scenario coming true.

[liverbird]

The official site says Owen will be fit but I'd rest him any way. I think Diouf has hit the bottom of the sh1t list and won't see the light of day for some while. Cheyrou is more likely to play, and with that the option, I'll take Spuds.
FSP should play in Mikie's place and save Baros for the end instead of the other way around but I can live with either. Have to get three!

[youllneverwalkalone]

I don't think I would start Cheyrou over Diouf. I've gotta be honest, I really don't like Diouf as a player, but he came on as a sub in the Wolves game and really did well for the 30 minutes he was in. But maybe that's what we should use him for, if anything, just to come on as a sub. I just really really do not like having Cheyrou in the lineup, just a personal opinion.

[Retribution03]

i'm gonna go out on a limb here folks and say i do believe this is going to be a rout 4-0 to the Reds with mixture of scorers.call me daft call me brill but my love for liverpool will continue still. :)

[Anomaly385]

"rout 4-0 to the Reds"

Ole'!!! Lets hope so. :)

[JimBobCooters]

We need to get to page two and post the picture.

[JimBobCooters]

Go go go

[JimBobCooters]

Traore, Cheyrou, and Baros in the squad today. I think Riise should have stayed in, and try Traore out in the central defense in place of Biscan.

[JimBobCooters]

Come on page 2.
