Also happy to see Maxi starting, himself and Suarez link up well. Bellamy injured? That's a few in a couple he hasn't started now.

I seem to be saying this every week now and its beginning to become a habit but there's a shocking lack of a certain Brazilian in that line up.

I don't see it on their site, but I doubt ITV are showing the match live on their site or player?

No Craig Bellamy in Liverpool's squad again. Rumours that he had a big argument with Dalglish after Sunderland match.

sounds like a load of bollix to me

El Inho

nice to see maxi back in the squad.

spearo is settling in nicely.

not sure on carra at the back, just feel coates should be learning his craft for this season...noone should be in the squad in merit.

even if it is true I would not think it is a problem . bellamy argues with his shadow. it's just his competive natures. Dalglish will able to manage that aspect of him and nuture it. no worries there at all

carra obviously in the squad to cope witht the physical aspect stoke will bring to the game.. Coates can learn his craft in the meaningless league games we have left ...not in a cup quater final that we have a great chance of winning.

Carra played ok v Everton tbf.

Carra had a solid game against Everton, granted he didn't have to do much but I'm happy enough to see him start. Why change it if it worked.
I wouldn't be so sure on a Coates/Skrtel partnership, especially for this game tbh.

djPSB

Todays game should suit Carragher anyway.

Stoke aren't the fastest team.

Combined with Carroll playing it's gonna be a long game.

Didn't coates play against stoke in the league cup - made a mess of a clearance which led to a goal but barring that he was solid

He played against Sunderland in the League two weeks ago.

He was shaky enough.

actually don't know what i am thinking, I completely forgot this was FA cup...hangover is lasting a bit longer than expected..

but yeah, carra for the FA cup makes more sense...i meant Coates should be in for the league.

niallo27

Looking forwards to todays game, its been a while since i have.

mike65

Subs Doni, Coates, Flanagan, Kuyt, Adam, Henderson, Shelvey.

El Inho

for reasons apparent elsewhere...

i hope carroll has a big game

Will I Amnt

Well after what I just seen in the Chelsea game I expect an Andy Carroll hattrick here

MagicMarker

That's a fúcking ridiculous tackle from Kelly.

Will I Amnt

Nasty tackle that.

He was late, it wasn't malicious. Kelly's not a dirty player

Leiva

I love Suarez .

Psychedelic

How come Liverpool are playing into the Kop end in the first half?

Leiva

Why didn't anyone warn us that numpty was reffing .

It looked malicious to me.
He swiped him when he had no chance at getting near the ball.

Yes, just asking as 99% of the time they play into the Kop end in the 2nd half.

You're not related to Willmunny by any chance cambo?

Leiva

I see Stoke have come looking for the usual game of Rugby .

If we keep this in the deck , lots of movement , and be patient with a pass we should see this out with a win.

Turtyturd

Someone won't finish this game with a full team.

These are the type of games that Liverpool have struggled with all season

I think he was trying to break his legs

You might be on to something there
I know he's not a dirty player but everyone is capable of a cynical lash out every now and again.

Right in front of the Stoke bench too....probably a 'come and get me' audition in order to get a dream move to Stoke.
