Goals:Rooney 47' 50'
Suarez 80'
The worst possible result. Not just a loss, a deserved loss – self-inflicted thanks to a feeble
30 minutes after the restart – but continued, probably increased, focus on the Suarez-Evra
contretemps thanks to each acting like spoiled children.
Suarez has been recalled to the starting lineup in what promises to be a heated encounter
against Manchester United.
Liverpool: Reina, Enrique, Johnson, Agger, Skrtel, Spearing, Gerrard, Henderson, Downing, Kuyt,
Suarez.
Subs: Doni, Carragher, Bellamy, Carroll, Adam, Shelvey, Kelly.

Joy.
We have seen how Liverpool suffered this season without any pace and creativity from midfield.
Dalglish's preferred midfield foursome of Downing, Adam, Gerrard and Lucas will pass the ball to
death but neither is comfortable to run with the ball.
Against teams that park the bus, especially teams that come to Anfield, the lack of
unpredictability in the Liverpool play has caused the mighty Reds dearly.
Luis Suarez made his return from his eight-match suspension but their was no fairy tale ending
as Liverpool and Spurs played to a goalless draw at Anfield.
Suarez started the game on the bench and he watched his teammates come flying out of the blocks
with Gerrard slipping a delightful through ball to Andy Carroll only for Michael Dawson to make a
goal-saving fifth-minute challenge.
As I predicted earlier today, Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has left Luis Suarez on the bench
for tonight's game with Spurs at Anfield. Jose Enrique is injured, which probably means Glen
Johnson will play at left-back.Full Team: Reina; Kelly, Skrtel, Agger, Johnson, Spearing, Adam,
Gerrard, Kuyt, Bellamy, Carroll.
Be great if he scored!...Liverpool welcome Tottenham to Anfield
Monday night as they look to continue their good run of form and pick up some more points in the
League. With Luis Suarez completing his ban, the Anfield faithful can't wait to see him back on the
pitch, an extra threat for Spurs to be aware of.
John Terry is at the thick of it all again. Here's my thoughts: Yes, the FA had
considerable case to strip him, but in doing so they have effectively gone against their own coach
(don't these people ever communicate with each other? It's almost as though they pass messages to
each other though the press.
Who should replace Chelsea's John Terry as England captain? Former England and Aston Villa manager
Graham Taylor believes that Liverpool talisman Steven Gerrard is the ideal candidate for the job,
but only if he can prove that he's up to it. Speaking to BBC Sport, Taylor argued:"Gerrard's been
captain before and I'd expect [Fabio] Capello to give it to him if he gets his top-class form back.

You may remember Mr.
Cardiff City keeper Tom Heaton was the hero for the Bluebirds as they edged out Crystal Palace in
an absorbing cup clash at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Heaton saved two penalties in the shoot-out to send Cardiff to the Carling Cup Final at the expense
of Dougie Freedman's spirited Palace side.
Goals:Agger 21'
Park 40'
Kuyt 88'
For the second match in a row: *shakes head* Football, man. Football.
A first half set play goal, followed by increased United pressure and the inevitable equalizer
following a defensive mistake. In a 4-1-4-1 formation with Carragher holding in midfield, Liverpool
were unable to settle on the ball, in a typically frenetic no-holds-barred cup game.

"CONFIRMED LINE-UP: Liverpool vs UNITED" was originally published at
The Republik of Mancunia.
Club captain Steven Gerrard has reiterated his confidence and belief in Liverpool manager Kenny
Dalglish, and although he acknowledges that the pressure is on at the moment, Gerrard has not doubt
that Dalglish is the right man to lead Liverpool forward.In an interview with ITV Sport, Gerrard
expressed his admiration for Dalglish's willingness to put his legendary status on the line:"It
took some
Kickettes, do you recall the veiled threat we (and many, many other members of the media)
received from legal firm, Schillings, on behalf of their clients, the Gerrards, requesting privacy

Atkinson was supposed to be in charge, but pulled out Thursday with a virus.
Because knowing the final score makes Joe Hart's heroics far less frustrating. Because Craig
Bellamy is fantastic, even if for the final twenty minutes he was on the pitch it was hard not to
worry his knees would explode every time he took off. Because the crowd was absolutely phenomenal
and we could easily have devoted an entire entry to videos of just that.
Craig Bellamy has been absolutely superb for Liverpool this season, and he was excellent again
yesterday against Manchester City, scoring the goal that won the tie and sent the club to Wembley.
After the game, club captain Steven Gerrard was full of praise for the Welshman. Gerrard, who set
Liverpool on their way to victory with another excellent penalty, told reporters:"He [Bellamy] been

*Shakes head* Football, man. Football.
So much for Liverpool holding what they had. This was no lock-down defensive effort. Liverpool
played defense by attacking, and would have settled the tie far sooner if not for Joe Hart's
continuing brilliance.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has called on his team to raise their game as his club pursue
victory in their League Cup campaign and continue to cling on to their fast fading hopes of
Champions League qualification. Gerrard's side have struggled in recent games in spite of heavy
investment in the squad by manager Kenny Dalglish at the start of the current campaign - and even a
recent return to fitness and form of the talismanic Gerrard has not been enough to stop the club
sliding to 7th in the Premier League table.
Andy Carroll and Maxi Rodriques have been dropped for tonight's Carling Cup semi-final second leg
against Manchester City at Anfield.Craig Bellamy and Dirk Kuyt come into the team to replace those
two. Here is the full team:Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Henderson, Adam, Gerrard,
Downing, Bellam, Kuyt.
In a case of the means justifying the end, Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish employed stultifyingly
negative tactics to triumph against Manchester City in the Carling Cup two weeks ago. This ruined
the game as a spectacle, and Liverpool fans will be hoping for a more proactive, attacking approach
in the second leg tomorrow.
For the first time since he returned to Anfield a year ago, Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is
under genuine pressure. After one win in the last six premier league games, the club is languishing
in seventh place, and the level of performance has arguably plummeted to a concerning low. The heat
is most definitely on, and some Liverpool fans are even calling for Dalglish's head.
Liverpool lead 1-0 on aggregate.

What exactly did Dalglish mean by "If that's the level they [the players] expect this football club
to play at, they won't be here long"?
By Chris Wright
In which the entire Ghana squad amass in a corridor at their team hotel for a morale-boosting
jam last night, i.e, the night before their African Cup of Nations 2012 opener against Botswana
today (a game currently in progress)...
As our pals over at The FCF have pointed out; could you imagine Messrs Lampard,
Gerrard, Terry et al taking up thy tambourines for an impromptu corridor-based boogaloo before a
game?

The same questions and concerns continue to be the focus.
Kenny Dalglish recently suggested that Steven Gerrard could be Liverpool's best player. Many fans
would agree with that, but Anfield legend Mark Lawrenson has a different view.In his weekly press
conference last week, Dalglish was asked if Gerrard was the club's greatest player. He responded:"I
wouldn't disagree.
The January transfer window is half way through, and, after the past two windows saw Liverpool
one of the most active participants, it's been surprisingly quiet for a side lacking both midfield
steel and finishing touch who before the season began set a return to Champions League action as
the minimum requirement.
Tried to replicate the formation from the 2-0 win against Stoke last season, starting with three
center-backs for the first time this season. Didn't work. Tried sending Carroll on for final thirty
minutes. Didn't work. Bellamy couldn't change matters either. Another disappointing, frustrating
draw at Anfield.
Es buena la hornada de centrocampistas que se están formando en las categorÃas inferiores del
fútbol inglés y que en unos años podrÃa coger el testigo de los Gerrard, Lampard o Barry en una
selección inglesa que no tardará en renovarse. Jack Wilshere, quien lleva bastante tiempo
lesionado en el Arsenal pero de un indudable potencial es la mayor de estas promesas, seguida
seguramente por Josh McEachran, el joven de 18 años del Chelsea que es pretendido por media Europa
ya que parecen que desde los "blues" buscan una cesión para que tenga los minutos que no logra
tener en el primer equipo.
