The only serious question I suppose is whether Suarez should start both games.

If the feeling is that he'll probably be getting an enforced rest soon anyway, then I suspect we'll take a chance and play him in both games.

I would just hate it if we took points off city in a way that forces us to play a weak team in the cup and results in us getting knocked out.

well, I don't think it's straightforward. A cup win is a day at Wembley, memories, a cup final that fans can replay for ever, an addition to the club honours. It's also a stepping stone for a club that hasn't won anything for years as it can be ticked off the target list and the club can start working to the next, higher target.

Also, for a team like Birmingham, rather than just fighting relegation every year surely it's better to win a cup. Even if it means competing in the championship for a bit where they might at least be near the top so will feel better too.

I never said we shouldn't try and win the cup. this whole conversation is about playing 2 games in 48 hrs. Whether spurs won the league cup in 2008 doesn't matter. There is an opinion amongst medical staff at most clubs that 2 games in 48 hrs is too much, affects performance and can lead to injuries. For this reason we may rotate. I wuld rather play our strongest team against city as I think its a higher priority, obviously some dont, and do think 1, 2, 3 points could make a difference at end of season. we are obviously not gonna get relegated but missing out on cl is still a big blow.

mr x i agree with you but faz has a very militant view on liverpool putting the cup competitions above the league and that wont change regardless of what you or anyone else says so plz give it a rest

we can't just leave it to hope. we need a strategy to maximise the return from both games. a point at home to city followed by a win in the cup would be better than a win against city and being knocked out of the cup. hence we need to distribute the team selection accordingly.
