A loss tonight could seriously dent the team's confidence and make promotion less likely.

i really don't think Leeds confidence would be dented too badly by a loss to Liverpool?!

True. If anything it may help them more especially if they play well regardless of the result.

mike65 · 22-09-2009 7:05pm

The Reds XI in full is: Cavalieri, Degen, Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Dossena, Aurelio, Spearing, Mascherano, Riera, Babel, Ngog.

Subs: Reina, Gerrard, Torres, Skrtel, Voronin, Plessis, Johnson.

You try figuring that formation. Riera behind Ngog?

Eire-Dearg · 22-09-2009 7:06pm

Go on Babel.

SlickRic · 22-09-2009 7:19pm

that's a strong enough team & squad.

i'm looking forward to seeing both babel and n'gog in particular.

i'd have liked to see the likes of kelly (injured?), dalla valle and pacheco given some sort of chance.

stevie, nando and johnson, imo, should be given the night off duty.

Babel behind him surely?

Is Dossena or Aurelio going to be full back? I guess the Doss but both can play midfield.

tok9 · 22-09-2009 7:23pm

Aurelio is probably playing ahead of masch and behing Spearing

4-3-3 is what it looks like.

Similar to how we lined out against Pompey when Aurelio was in the centre.

Ngog

Riera

Babel----
Spearing

Aurelio

Masch
Doss---Kyrgiakos---Carra---Degan

Cav

That would be my guess anyway/

MementoMori · 22-09-2009 7:28pm

Geez Im shocked by the team and the bench.:eek::eek::eek:

I was miles off.

Clearly Rafa is taking the Carling Cup very seriously this year

I wonder if this might be because it's Leeds away and if we might see some of the reserve/fringe players if we draw easier opposition?

If it 4-2-3-1 formation may be

Cavalieri

Degen---Carragher---Kyrgiakos---Dossena

Mascherano---Aurelio

Babel

Spearing

Riera

Ngog

Dossena and Aurelio could switch positions in that.

It might be a 4-3-3/4-3-2-1 as well

Cavalieri

Degen---Carragher---Kyrgiakos---Dossena
----Mascherano--Spearing --Aurelio

Babel

Riera

Ngog

Subs: Reina, Gerrard, Torres, Skrtel, Voronin, Plessis, Johnson.

If things are going well then Voronin and Plessis are the likely subs.
If they aren't then the big guns are on the bench.
Very disappointing that Agger doesn't even feature on the bench.

mike65 · 22-09-2009 7:29pm

It could be 4-4-1-1

Cavalieri
Degen, Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Dossena
Babel, Spearing, Mascherano, Aurelio

Riera

Ngog.

I presume Agger isn't yet quite ready

Kelly is in Egypt at the U-20 World Cup with England.
Pacheco picked up an knock before the reserve game against Utd on Thursday. Would have been nice to have seen him on the bench.
LDV was never a realistic shout to make it when he hasn't been playing with the reserves so far this season.

Maybe we could see some of them in later rounds.

tok9 · 22-09-2009 7:32pm

Anyone have any links?

Rafa is giving nothing away on SS2

"we will play with eleven"

Don't think there's a chance in hell of Carra playing.

ill not be placing my bets anyway

Chardee MacDennis · 22-09-2009 7:40pm

whats the story with the "I live my life for the stars that shine" Liverpool banner. Is that the same oasis lyric that is on the T-Shirt Dub13 had?

Well my point of not betting until the teams were named was still correct, even if my underlying detail might have been a little spectacularly wrong.:p;)

mike65 · 22-09-2009 7:47pm

Oh crap, Beckford knows what he needs to do.

He had a late fitness test, I'm glad he's not being rushed back. Surprised to see Carra lead them out alright. He may not be playing well yet this season but he does play an awful lot of minutes for Liverpool, good pro.

joe123 · 22-09-2009 7:51pm

I said it after the debrecen appearance.Babel is waaaay better on the right.

joe123 · 22-09-2009 7:55pm

Ngog looking very lively.

SlickRic · 22-09-2009 7:56pm

agreed.

he has a lot of crossing ability. and while his technique is still poor enough, his pace getting on the outside of defenders can allow him space to get crosses in.

you need better close control to come inside like he has to do on the left, because he would invariably run into traffic.

Jayob10 · 22-09-2009 7:56pm

anyone have a good stream for this?

Chardee MacDennis · 22-09-2009 7:56pm

let off there

edit: and again, another corner

anyone got a stable stream? a few gone down on me already.

Exactly, especially if they play to win which seems to be the case.

jebidiah · 22-09-2009 8:01pm

while the stream is down,

spearing looking good, so is rieara, could be good for his form to get a good run out in this match, ngog is going to get a goal soon if not already...

event · 22-09-2009 8:01pm

goal disallowed for offside, bit harsh, i thought it was already over the line when becchio touched it

mike65 · 22-09-2009 8:03pm

I liked Degans early run.

JokerD · 22-09-2009 8:04pm

absolute robbery, clear goal

Chardee MacDennis · 22-09-2009 8:05pm

aurelio has been quiet...

just saw it now, clear goal as beckford dosnt get a touch

mike65 · 22-09-2009 8:08pm

The guy who prodded it in was offside, he should have left it go in on its own account,

The commentator just made a classic comparison error, saying Leeds were not playing like a team two divisions below Liverpool, if it were Pools first 11 then that would be a fair observation.

not when the ball was headed back in

podge018 · 22-09-2009 8:10pm

he was offside in that phase of play. Should have left it be.

The Muppet · 22-09-2009 8:10pm

both attackers looked level to me when the ball was headed , looked like it had already crossed the line before being prodded too. Bad decision , good goal disallowed

Chardee MacDennis · 22-09-2009 8:11pm

Xabi who?

i would be inclined to agree, the goal should have stood.

again, not when it was headed back in, he was level

we are giving spearing an awful lot of room, our two central midfielders are sitting very deep

joe123 · 22-09-2009 8:16pm

great run by babel again. His pace alone lets him get past people on the outside. No more cutting inside the whole time running into a wall. Needs to work on his end ball though.

event · 22-09-2009 8:18pm

some of snoddys passing and runs are pure quality.
he has played two 1-2's with becks and becchio that have been top class

JokerD · 22-09-2009 8:22pm

Elland Road is a great sight tonight, we are leeds

mike65 · 22-09-2009 8:24pm

Are you? Jolly good.

Dossena is giving Snodgrass way too much time and space, he has to get in on him immediately.

Yes we are, and we are marching on together!

mike65 · 22-09-2009 8:29pm

Bloody hell!

Dang, would have been a nice way to end the half, really would have annoyed Leeds too!

I can see why they are top of the division, some very nice composed footie. Liverpool look like an 11 that would haven't played together much, Dossena blegh, Degan did well I though and Babel apart from the lame shot. Ngog isn't exactly a powerful CF though.

event · 22-09-2009 8:34pm

great chance by riera, well saved by the keeper

happy enough at HT, we have limited liverpool to that one chance really.
havent had many ourselves but have had nice build up play
