My first thought was that getting beaten by CP in the cup was probably the worst thing for us. A team badly needing a win and we’re next on the fixture list. We know what usually happens. But I think we’ll get something from this and I reckon 2-2

We won't have a better chance of turning them over than we do at the moment. They've been wasteful in front of goal & wide open at the back.

We'll go there & be cautious, concede first after we lose the ball playing out from the back & then roll over.

We should go at them, get the crowd nervous & take our chances.

Difficult to predict.  Early goal to us might get the crowd on their backs - they wouldnt be used to that.

I don’t think going at them is the answer. An open game is what they want, it plays to their strengths. We need to try and be compact and then incisive on the break.

Put aside the superstition and it’s the best time for us to play them in a generation.

A great opportunity for us!

0-3 Ollie to find his shooting boots and bag them all.

I agree. We've seen this play out a million times before.

Every time the media big up Unai and/or the team we lose. Then we have the 'can't win a game to save your life/hasn't scored in donkey's years', here's Aston Villa to help you out. That's two records I'd like to see us break today.

Had to go to the shops with the Enemy which is just a 45 min long bollocking, so now having a pint (part of the deal).

It's very odd being in Lidls's around 3pm on a Sat.

I have no good feelings about this fixture, but Adam Ant out of Adam and the Ants has just posted on my Myspace wall that Liverpool is nothing to be scared of.
