    Why so negative, liverpool have been excellent all year in cup competitions, knocking utd, city and chelsea out and winning at stoke. I cant see anything but a liverpool win, they have already played at wembly this season, i think its might be too big of an occasion for them. They are only a small team after all.

    We have to be realistic here Niall. Everton are the favourites. The are above us in the league. All the pressure is on them. They have to very professional tomorrow.

    I just hope we turn up and give a good account of ourselves!!

    It'll be a pretty close game I reckon. Liverpool are marginal favourites with the bookies, which they should be I think, but it really could go either way.

    In other predictions, I'll go for this thread thumping the other semi final one in post count. Predictions for that as follows:

    Liverpool win - This thread 628 - Other thread 219
    Everton win - This thread 846 - Other thread 148

    You are being far too conservative imo.

    Liverpool win - This thread 550
    Everton win - This thread 1250

    Draw and it goes wild altogether with people bringing up the fact that the last time Kenny Dalglish was in charge of Liverpool and they drew with Everton in the FA Cup, he left before the replay.

    Crazy and all as it is, there are no replays in Fa Cup semi finals or finals anymore. Straight to extra time and penalties.

    If it is 4-4 though at any point I'll be glad I have no hair left to pull out, and I couldn't blame Kenny if he was stressed as he wouldn't be the only one. Defeat post count is variable, but in a standard defeat I reckon I'll be close. A calamitous defeat and you could be closer. Routine win will mean it's lower, but I'm going for middle ground on both.

    Tomorrow has to go to penos. Last time Brad Jones was involved in a peno shootout was against Northampton!! :( Made famous for Hodgson standing in the rain like a moron!!!

    By the way, does anyone know that Brad Jones played for Shelbourne about a decade back!!

    If i was Moyes, i'd be telling my players to lump it and cross it at every given opportunity to put Jones under pressure!!! It's the way to victory!! I trust that bloke in goal like an oul lad in a retirement home trusts a fart not to turn into a sh!te.

    I like being the underdogs. We're not expected to win, but who knows what can happen?? Hopefully, the pressure of Everton surely winning this one gets too much for them!!

    Form is out the window id say for this one, will be close but should be a good passionate game, would give me left nut to be there. My only worry is like someone posted if everton lob balls continuously in on jones. Im sure he'll be the most nervous lad on the pitch tomorrow but with what has happened him he'll draw inner strength.

    Dont think ive ever been so anxious to see a starting XI all season too, will be glued to twitter all morning.

    Come on Liverpool!!!:D How I love it all

    Hello Mr.Mancini. I suggest you drop Tevez back out of the squad and give Dzeko more first team opportunities.

    monkey9, i'm not the most optimistic of pool fans but i can't see how you wouldn't consider us favourites tomorrow. Bookies have called it about spot on imo. Wouldn't be shocked if we lost but i think we'll do it, so long as Jones doesn't make any mistakes as bad as he did against Blackburn. I believe we have a better squad and that we will dominate.

    I have no doubt that we'll have more attacking possession, more corners, more shots on goal. Whether that will translate as a win is far from definite when you look at our problems with chance conversion rate and the potentially dodgy goalkeeper situation, but the assumed superiority we'll have in the aforementioned stats makes us favourites.

    Pressure is far more on us tomorrow than Everton. They're the team with nothing to lose imo. Our horrible run in the PL is somewhat justified if we have Cup success. If we lose tomorrow then the 'are LFC and KD done' thread suddenly has a lot of validity.

    Given the resources available to both teams Everton could lose here and finish anywhere from 7th-10th and say they've had an ok season. Same can't be said about Liverpool. Pressure is on us tomorrow

    Nope, not agreeing with this, Morzadec! They are the favouries. They should be winning this 100%. It's up to Moyes to not f*ck this up!!!


    If he messes this up, as manager of a big club, he has a lot of questions to answer to. Can you imagine the back pages of the Sunday papers if Everton lose tomorrow??

    Never mind the back pages, can you imagine this forum if Everton lose? The place will go into meltdown!!!!!!

    I dont understand your posts. Everton are not Barcelona you know. A good season for everton is to finish in the top 7 and a good run in the cups. They have achieved one and may achieve the other.

    A good season for Liverpool is a champions league position. The cups will be the only thing that will pave over the cracks of a horrendous season.

    Stop trying to kid yourself. This is now your most important game and the pressure is entirely on Liverpool and daglish.

    Good old Suarez,he just can't help himself:
    Luis Suarez has vowed he will repeat his World Cup handball if Liverpool need it in the FA Cup semi-final showdown with Everton at Wembley.He told The Sun: 'The sacrifice I made was because it was so important for Uruguay to make the semi-finals. Now I want to win this semi-final.'

    'It will take an enormous effort but I am dedicated to the team. If I am obliged to stop a ball in the last minute and we win, then I will repeat the action.

    not his fault Gyan missed the penalty......so no one from your team handled the ball to stop an opponent from scoring or attempting to score? .....i have deliberately handballed the ball before does that make me a bastard too?

    The fact that he spoke to The Sun says it all,a newspaper that is hated by Liverpool fans for obvious reasons and Suarez does an interview with them,classy guy.We all know he's a cheat so his claim that he'd cheat again is no surprise really.

    BTW the match is FTA on Sport1 (German Tv) @ 19e. A bit of dish moving & tuning in needed for those who are inclined to try it.

    If a striker brings the ball around the keeper and the keeper takes him down is that cheating, is fouling the last man cheating. I presume you support utd, would mind Rooney doing the exact same in a CL final
