LFC vs South China FC (Match Thread)

[Red_Al_77]

We look solid enough and somewhat progressive but Crouch and Yossi are spectators really.

[Rich]

Dee should come with some sort of government health warning advising members of the public not to engage him in conversation

[bigfooty]

Our play been a bit too narrow at times, particularly down the right.

Riise getting into trouble on the left but nothing comes of it.

Yossi to Momo who is very advanced but his chip around the corner is bad.

Torres, Babel and Leiva not involved tonight due to a lack of International Clearance apparently.

[tomasjj]

We lack a bit of width on the right.

[Red_Al_77]

Torres didn't have international clearance for this game. He is not injured.

Same goes for Lucas and Babel.

[Jayesh87]

Torres, Babel and Lucus wasn't given international clearence to play in this 'official' cup. Altho they will play on Friday.

[bigfooty]

Momo wins a free kick in a promising position.

Alonso attempts a quick one but keeper gets down well to save.

[Laddsy]

Babel, Torres and Lucas not cleared to play in time

so no injuries to worry about

[Shaggy]

How's Kewell doing so far?

[bigfooty]

South China with a free kick down the other end in a good position.

Straight at a two-man wall and out for a throw.

[Laddsy]

He did OK at the start but has faded as the game has progressed

[bigfooty]

Kewell started brightly but most of our play has been through the middle, Alonso been the pick so far I think with plus marks for Momo and The Crow.

[Red_Al_77]

How's Kewell doing so far?

Wasteful. One moment of progress.

[johnly]

How's Kewell doing so far?

Couple of nicew touches, got in a few good positions, not setting the world alight yet like.

Babel, Torres and Lucas not cleared to play in time

This from official site

"Fernando Torres, who has been struggling with an ankle injury, will play no part. Ryan Babel and Steven Gerrard are also missing, meaning Jamie Carragher will wear the captain's armband. "
