Honestly, who cares about getting through in this competition? It's about priorities. For me this competition is so low on the list that irreplaceable players like Gerrard and Carra shouldn't be risked at this stage of the competition, esp at home to lower league clubs. You don't know what kind of dubious tactics these lower leageu clubs might employ

Let's give Robbie the respect he is due and field some star players.

Exactly. Couldnt be more true

Looks like Rafa is worried about being out of both the champions league and the league title race before long and is thinking of the cup double

WTF are Gerrard and Carra doing playing???

and what kind of **** ref you get. The last one was rubbish and almost allowed the players to get away with murder.

If Carra gets injured then we won't have any chance at all against a team like Blackburn.

you expected any different, given our current injury situaion i fully expected both to play. Carra is fine, he'll get his break when the internationals gome up. Stevie prob wouldn't have played if alonso, sissoko and masch weren't all injured/sick

Hyypia and Hobbs against Blackburn can you see them taking care of players like McCarthy and Santa Cruz?

[Nic83]

Crouch and Babel vs Voronin and Kuyt.

There really is no contest.

HOBBS HANDED FULL DEBUT AGAINST FOWLER
Jimmy Rice at Anfield 31 October 2007

Jack Hobbs will go head-to-head with Robbie Fowler tonight in his first competitive start for Liverpool.
The 19-year-old lines-up alongside Jamie Carragher at centre-back, with Ryan Babel partnering Peter Crouch up front.

Steven Gerrard is also present, while Nabil El Zhar gets his first start of the season. Long-term absentee Harry Kewell is on the bench.

The Liverpool team in full is: Itandje, Aurelio, Arbeloa, Carragher, Hobbs, Leto, El Zhar, Gerrard, Lucas, Babel, Crouch. Subs: Martin, Riise, Kewell, Benayoun, Mascherano.

[stringy]

Lets just hope its not a horror show need to lay these ghosts to rest.

[Morph]

Id imaging this will be the set up

Itandje
Arbeloa Carra Hobbs Aurelio
El Zhar Lucas Gerrard Leto
Babel Crouch

Although el Zhar and babel could switch

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

That's Sissoko done for then.
