IF ...... all these players are out, I think we should really go at them and try to kill the match at Stamford bridge, make the second leg a formality. I would be happy with a score draw to be honest, as I think we can beat them at Anfield. I am more nervous than last time, and god help me if its the mancs we meet in the final.

I don't think i could take it either
The fear of losing, the jubilation of actually beating them instead of battering them and then losing, but most of all, the excitment of seeing G Nevilles face as the final whistle is blown and we are crowned 6 times european champions.......... i'm getting goosebumps already

According to THIS, Robben will be missing from the Sh*tski team, too.

I hope it doesn't breed complacency in our ranks...

Out of the four "apparently" who have been ruled out, Robben, Carvaliho, Essein and Ballack. It wouldnt surprise me to see two of those start (typical Maureen) Essein cant he's carded but tho other three well .........

I dont think or I hope not that Rafa takes those claims at face value. I'd hope he lines the team up as if these lot were playing. It could be Maureens mind games inticing (sp) Rafa to go with two upfront or something. And to leave the midfield spacious as such. I think I'd prefer five accross the middle against this lot to start with at the bridge. We could get a hiding if the team does become complacent. I'd definately start this one tight, no gung ho stuff or going for the jugular especially first half, I'm predicting thats what they'll try and we dont we to open the game up so early on.

In the Times today:

Two years ago, on the approach to Stamford Bridge, one of those moments you dread arrived. “Headhunters,” my companion hissed. And there they were, surrounding us, fingering their calling cards. It was about to get ugly. The seconds that followed were a blur; the pain still almost tangible. They tried to recruit me for a leading financial institution in the City. The idea that Rupert and Tarquin thought I was a merchant banker makes me wince even now.

Once, Stamford Bridge was an intimidating place. On the pitch, the players were uncompromising brutes with names like Micky, Tommy and Chopper. The supporters came from council flats in Battersea and had names like, well, Micky, Tommy and Chopper.

Now the players have names like Claude, Ricardo and Hilário. Battersea has been gentrified and supporters at the Bridge have names like, well, Giles.

And then there are the songs they sing. What visiting fan hasn’t felt a shiver of fear when the cry of “One man went to mow!” rises up from the Matthew Harding Stand. Or, imagine what it is like being Frank Lampard and realising that, yes, they’ve thrown another man at that meadow. “Come on Sheva, there’s eight of them mowing now. The grass doesn’t have a chance. That’s the sort of commitment we’ve got to match . . . Good Lord, it’s nine now ! Let’s win it for the nine . . . ten . . . and Spot.”

Or is it part of the mad plan of Peter Kenyon, the chief executive, to turn Chelsea into the biggest club in the world by 2016? “Right, at every kindergarten in the land they are singing our song. How many does that add to our fanbase? Millions. And we’ll get their kids, too. Take that, Manchester United!”

To single out Stamford Bridge for a lack of atmosphere would be cruel, though. It is a problem across football, even at Anfield. But Liverpool supporters recognise this and have made massive efforts to keep their individuality with initiatives like Reclaim The Kop, a grassroots movement aimed at educating those not fully conversant with Kopite traditions. But compare the stadiums when Barcelona visited in this season’s Champions League.

At Anfield last month, the stadium was in a frenzy. Many supporters prepared special flags for the occasion and the Kop was a bouncing wall of red. Barça were greeted by a wall of flags at the Bridge in October, too. Only these had been supplied by the club. It was contrived and proved that mere banners do not create the right mood in a stadium. People do.

To this end, Liverpool supporters have something special in mind for the two ties over the next week. They have looked to Greece in the quest to reach Athens.

Impressed by the fanaticism of PAOK fans and the catchy nature of one of their songs, Liverpool supporters have appropriated the tune and added their own lyrics, which will boom out of the old Shed End tomorrow and take the roof off the Kop next week. Apart from Anfield on Saturday, it hasn’t been heard before on Premiership grounds. It’s new and innovative but will carry the weight of history with it.

Are you ready for it Chelsea? You were not two years ago and we’re set to take things up a notch. Because that thing called atmosphere is Liverpool’s calling card. And if you are not four up going to Anfield, worry.

Maureen is bricking it this time against us, he has said nothing, remember last time, maybe he is hoping that if he shuts up that it will take the edge off the atmos at Anfield, some chance!! I hope that we go for them in the first 15 mins aslong as we have the defence shielded. 2-0 to the mighty red army.

I was about to comment that. Last time he played mind games it didn't work. So the fact that he doesn't try it anymore also means he doesn't believe nor is confident anymore. :laugh:

Come on red men, I'm absolutelly convinced you'll win!

by **babu** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 9:32 am

No I am convinced the silence from the moaner is more dangerous. I think it is a sign of how seriously they take LFC as opponents (in cup games at least). I guarantee he has them all wound up to the point of bursting. They will want to win both legs and prove a point.

Quite determination is more dangerous than loud boasting.

by **Anfield rapper** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 9:42 am

Ballack, Essien and Carvalho out

Don't be suprised if Ballack and Carvalho make miraculous recoveries.

Benitez should say Gerrard and Carragher are both doubtful.
