Europa League

[Shaw05]

How does aveyone think we are going to get on in the Europa league after being humiliatedly knocked out of the Champions League in the group stages. Som how the bookies have made us favourites to win it haha. By the way does anyone know if tonights match is on t.v or am i going to have to watch it where i watch all my Live Football "online"!

[Shaw05]

Well It seems that Liveerpool will be in the Europa League next year after another poor performance in the league, which has lead them to being only a point in front of Aston villa who have 2 games in hand and a point behind manchester city who also have 2 games in hand. Times are looking bleak for Rafa's Reds. I do hope they get 4th though!!

I hope we get a good result tonight i will be happy with a 1-1 draw against Benfica, 1-0 would be perfect though

Liverpool haev it all to do going into the second leg at Anfield now after loosing the 1st leg 2-1, They will be playing without Ryan Babel as he got himself sent off for a peturlant slap on the benifca player.

Likely Liverpool Line-up

G.K - Pepe Reina

L.B - Insua
C.B - Agger
C.B - Caragher
R.B - Johnson

L.M - Benayoun
D.M - Mascherano
C.M - Aquilani
C.M -Gerrard
R.M -Kuyt

C.F - Torres

Maybe a bit wishful thinking, but who knows with Rafa

[SuperG]

No insua for you guys, probably Carragher at left back with Kyrgiakos at Center back.

I think you will scrape through

[matty05]

WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Classy Torres Strikes agen, Through to the Semi's bring on Madrid. And then an All English Final against Fulham

[Shaw05]

An all English final would be good for the premier league but i don't think it would make for a good match. As long as a Englidh team lifts the Cup i don't mind
