KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum FA Cup against the scum at Anfield

I'd now add the Bolton to that list. We were definitely second best in that game.

Listen, some people just want to be negative. Let them. Some people believe in their own minds that negativity/criticising = wisdom/knowledge. Personally, I find that to be very deluded. I reckon there are a couple of posters on here that were secretly disappointed on some level that we got through last night.

Bring on the scum though. Hopefully we'll come out with another spirited performance and attack them from the off!

Yeah we need to repeat last nights performance and take the game to them from the start. If we play the game in their faces at high tempo and high up the pitch we will destroy them. On the other hand if we revert to old bad habits of lying deep and trudged with neither energy nor pace they will take full advantage. I would go with the same formation as last night including Bellamy if he is up to it, if not then I'd reluctantly start Maxi and replace him at half time with Carroll if he doesn't materialize. Not a pretty vista that up front though but if we play type of game i've suggested we should bundle one or two in...perhaps another brilliant penalty by Gerrard.

Doesn't matter who has the better team on paper or who's on form who's not or whos at home. These are one off games them v us whoever performs on the day takes the plaudits.
BUT were so.much better against good sides

I'm really quite confident that the bottom line is if we play anywhere between good and above average we'll get a draw.

If we play good or better like we have done for most of the season bar maybe about 5 performances this season we'll win.

I just really hope Carroll starts and Downing doesn't play on the right and like against city actualy attempt to take on his man, if he does that I expect Carroll to socre but it's a big ask for Downing to play lm beat his man and deliver crosses of quality all in one game.

I think he meant big teams (i.e. spurs and city). bolton aren't exactly big.

We need to take the game to united. Only way to play them.

My bad, I didn't notice the 'big'.

Just think it's funny the way Liverpool fans write United off everytime we play them by mentioning who they have missing and so on and so forth. United for me are the best team in the country and have been for the last 20 years, they could name any bum off the street in the team but as soon as they pull on that little red devil they play like Supermen. The reason I know about this is because we had exactly the same aura back in the 70s and 80s and thats why I pay no attention to who is or is'nt playing, my prediction is I think the least United will get will be a draw if they play like they did in the first half against City in the last round they will wipe the floor with us, thats talking with my head and not my heart, we are not capable of reaching that level of performance simple as.

United are not the best team in the country. City are the best team in the country, and we beat City. We beat United last year when they were arguably stronger and we were fielding a team of teenagers. We are capable of beating them.

I think north Liverpool is right Utd are mentally stronger trhan city in fact I would not be surprised to see them winning the title again. Saturday is going to be tough and the liverpool vs man u is far more of a game than liverpool vs city emotion wise. We can beat them but we need to take our chances because we won't get many. Ferguson may adopt usual tactics us giving us space let us pass it about (harmlessly) and hit us for the sucker punch. Hes done it a few times the secret is to go one up early on. We have to put the chance away when we get it.
