think we can beat city this week. if we do we have a nice run of games leading up to christmas and i believe this is a vital period of our season. we should go all out for the win this sunday and we can rest a few in the carling cup, and then concentrate on our other big league games

you are unbelievable we beat chelsea proving if taken serious liverpool can beat chelsea again in the league cup and you want to rest players give it up .

I think its called a wind up Faz

dont think so with him , remember he has called the league cup fit to burn , as i have said before about man city game yes we want to win and could win but city are the league's best team and are going beat most teams home and away and losing on sunday will not make any difference to the season its games like wigan , wolves ,QPR that will make the difference , and playing a weak team at chelsea will be a massive mistake by dalglish .

I don't think he will play a weak team in either game.

Both games are vital.

Surely we can't play the best team in both the City game and the cup game? That's just risking injury and burn out isn't it?

Hence I'd bring some of the bench players in for the City game and full strength for the cup game.

both very vital to the season and i know it disappoints some on but the league cup and when it starts the F.A.Cup is so vital to the progress of liverpool football club , because if no cups it will be 7 years without a trophy and sorry CL or not that is very wrong .

I don't think both are vital. Having got 3 points away at Chelsea, I'd say the cup game is of greater importance now.

Lose the cup game and we're out of it, with only one more realistic chance of a trophy.

Lose against city and it's disappointing but no big deal. We might be expected to lose against them anyway. If we lose and miss out on 4th place by 3 points, it won't be because we lost to city - it'll be because of the draws against Norwich and Swansea.

Hence I would suggest that we need to decide who we want to play against Chelsea in the cup, and then decide which of those players can also play in the City game 2 days before.

I would struggle to play in both games in fact in the monday I would have trouble walking. But these are fit young men. Whats the problem?

surely the pl and man city game is more important. League cup to me has been devalued over the years and while this club should be all about winning cups not at the expense of climbing the league and trying to force our way back into the elite.
