"Come on Carra, get the lads going. This game is important in more ways than one. Roy needs to assess the desire and ability of our players in this game to determine who stays and who goes come January. Anyone who is not up to this level of standard against Chelsea is clearly not good enough for us in moving forward. Come on Reds. Gerrard Forever. "
"Jamie knows the score , he sees Chlesea as they are , a good team , better than a Liverpool team short on quality and ability. There is alot of use of the word hope in his interview and thats all Liverpool can do. Jamie knows that the teams as they stand are not evenly matched and that Chelsea should beat us easily . Lets hope not too easily ."
"just dont play like how we played against bolton.simply not good enough.and meireles needs to do better if he is to play in that midfield role.he's done nothing wrong but he hasnt created anything.if we have meireles plating well we can win."
"Big test for everyone involved. If anyone shows lack of willingness or ability to compete at this level, they've no future at LFC. Result too tight to call, but good luck lads."
"No doubt we'll concede a goal or 2. I'd go with a 2-1 victory depending on our squad. I'd like to see Reina Glen, Kyrgiakos, Carra, Konchesky, Maxi, Lucas, Gerrard, Kuyt, Cole and Torres. We will have trouble scoring but we should get them at set plays. Gerrard's free kicks, Kyrgiakos and Kuyt's headers just to name a few."
"by saying that we are playing against the best team in the country you automatically believe that WE are not the best team in the country...never mind..try to win it..its gonna be a tough much"
"It's sad to see Carra not at his best anymore. He just isn't a rock in the defense anymore. I'd like to so Soto and Skrtel in defense. And if Roy has any guts (which he doesn't) he'd play Kelly at right, and Johnson on wing. I'd be happy with a draw at this stage. But let's go with a 1-0 to LFC."
"will cheer the lads on, ( of course!)..and anything can happen in this fixture, but I fear that we may be brought down to earth with a bit of a bump!..I mean, lets be honest, it's not as if Chelski are having problems finding the back of the net..but, "hey!" , Reds win 2-1!"
"My predictions -
1 Roy sets out a defensive lineup,
2 Chelsea skin us for pace and get three goals,
3 we get a freekick goal,
4 fight back in the second half,
5 we lose,
6 Roy says it was a great performance.
Money on all 6. "
"Our only way to win something this season is by following the defense line up - Johnson - Soto - Agger - Aurelio.With Carra at the heart of defense we cant maintain clean sheets like Bolton game.Soto is our only hope to stop the strong boys of Chelsea(essien.drogba,terry,ivanovich) in air.SAVE US SOTO."
"can't reeli see us winning to be honest but i think we'll give it a good go.!.confidence is on the up,lets hope wee can play well tomorow and biuld on it.!."
"the only way we can win is if we are a team workin and communicating together. i know he makes sum mistakes but i think carra is essential in the teams togetherness! just have 2 hope he doesnt make any mistakes and hope kryiagos is vs drogba. i thinkd wed get ripped2 shreds without carras orginisational skills!"
"and im backing us for 1 0 i think this fixture could really get torres goin u know what hes like! think he might sense a goal today will work wonders obv but espec 4 his and teams confidence. 1 0 fernandoo 2 score!"
"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shut up chico if u think we would be better without carra in this game ur clearly clueless his is the heart and captain of our defence! without him we wouldnt have the same discipline or togetherness which is absoloutely the key 2 any result against chelsea! and what kind of fan r u 2 tell carra the legend 2 shut up.. shut up urself."
"we are the underdogs in this one, hard to admit but thats just a fact. allthough Chelsea is a dwarf of a club compared to ours they have a better squad. being underdogs suits us often better, we usually perform better in these games so its impossible to rule us out, I'm gonna cross my fingers and hope for three points. I say 3-2."
"With heart, soul and blood all Red from depth of Pacific, I'm praying for a win irrespective of number of goals. 'Just 1-0 God, that's all we ask for to raise our spirit'. Does not matter who scores but will love to see Torres do it again."
"Carra will always have an inspirational affect on our team, but he's just not quick enough...if he can improve his speed i'd always love to see him play. Maxi, Soto, and Lucas have been playing well. If Gerrard comes out and plays hard the whole match, and we can feed Torres I think we'll win. 3-1"
