3pm. Delayed in the US at 4:45pm on Setanta.
If the Carling Cup semi goes long, the delayed showing won't start on time. If I can find a
reasonable stream, I'll have a review up soon after the match like usual. And if not, it'll be up
after the delayed showing.
Last 4 head-to-head:
1-2 Spurs (a) 08.
Liverpool have beaten Spurs 2-0 at Anfield, thanks to two goals from Dutchman Dirk Kuyt.
The Reds faced a tough game against Harry Rednapp's team who are ahead of Liverpool in fourth
place, so a home win was imperative.
So a fifth minute goal involving Aquilani and Kuyt was just the start that Rafa and his team
needed.

If it ain't (that) broke, don't fix it.
Having played with such determination and passion in his absence, Steven Gerrard's return should
have boosted Liverpool to build on last week's win over Tottenham. Instead, it had the opposite
effect. Whatever momentum had been built was lost and the rhtym of the side thrown off key. That is
not to say that the team no longer needs Gerrard but, rather, that his inclusion from the first
minute when he was coming back from an injury is simply sending out the (wrong) message that the
team is reliant exclusively on him to do well.
Alberto Aquliani has returned to the starting line up against Bolton today at Anfield, with Lucas
going onto the bench. N'Gog starts upfront; with Kuyt, Gerrard and Riera behind him. The team in
full is: Reina, Insua, Carragher, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Mascherano, Aquilani, Gerrard, Riera, Kuyt,
Ngog. Subs: Cavalieri, Agger, Rodriguez, Babel, Lucas, Darby, Pacheco.
