Pity its not a home draw but it will do

Sound, wish we were at home though..

Shame it's not at home, but to be honest if we can't progress in cups beating teams like Brum away, then we don't deserve to win them.

so much for shearer winning anything at newcastle

Didnt Newcastle knock them out of the cup last year......

Birmingham is about as good an away draw as we could hope for.No problems.

They have just said on SSN that Birmingham are the only team that we have not beaten under Rafa.

We got our revenge against the scums....now it is birmingham's turn....

I reckon this could be our annual 6-0 thrashing match-up.

Im I right in thinking that if we beat birmingham we have got another day out in Cardiff to look forward to.

We beat the dirty mancs for the first time under Benitez and now where going to do the same against another dirty fat headed Man utd lover.

FA Cup :love:

Birmingham will be preoccupied with avoiding relegation. That is definitely their priority.

by **Anfield rapper** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 2:58 pm

Good draw for us. We have avoided the stronger teams (not that i was worried about any of them). Hopefully Newcastle can do something against Chelski but i cn't see it. Would have liked them to have got Bolton/West Ham or Boro away.

Rafael Benitez has yet to savour a victory over Birmingham City as Liverpool manager, but he is hoping the Reds can rise to the occasion when the two sides meet in the FA Cup quarter-final.
Liverpool have drawn twice with Birmingham this season, 2-2 at St Andrews and 1-1 at Anfield and both matches featured own goals from Reds players Stephen Warnock and Xabi Alonso.

Benitez knows it will be a tough tie for his side but after having tasted victory over Manchester United for the first time on Saturday, he is hoping he can do the same against Birmingham in the quarter-final.

"We've had two draws with Birmingham this season and it will be another difficult game, particularly away from home," reflected Benitez.

"This season we have had two good games with them and perhaps we could have won both because we scored own goals in each of them.

"I think it's probably the case they will be thinking more about the league than the FA Cup. We are confident at the moment and will be looking forward to the game."

The Liverpool manager also feels he has the squad that can cope with three competitions with the Reds doing well in the FA Cup, Champions League and FA Cup.

"I think so as some players can't play in some cup competitions and I'm sure we have a good chance of doing well," added Benitez.

"I always want to win a trophy and it would be nice to win the FA Cup but there's a long way to go yet."
