Tomorrow is FA Cup 5th round day at Anfield and it should be good, knockout games at our stadium usually have a memorable moment or two and let's hope it's memorable tomorrow for a good home win. On paper at home against a lower division side should be a straightforward victory but our results this season have shown how difficult is has been for us to break down the smaller sides. I think starting with two up front is a necessity, unless we play Carroll with Bellamy and Suarez either side and use almost three orthodox forwards, you only need to look at Everton's result today in a potentially tricky fixture to see the importance of starting positively and getting an early goal or two.
If we can start on the front foot in front of a passionate crowd generating an atmosphere we know Anfield is capable of in home knockout matches it could be an entertaining afternoon for Liverpool fans. There is the added spice that the game is the last chance players will have to stake a claim for a place in the team at Wembley next weekend. With this in mind I wouldn't be surprised if Kenny gives Carra a game at centre back and Martin Kelly a start at right back, I think he will give plenty of opportunity for the home grown players to enhance their chances of starting against Cardiff. Brighton are having a decent season and will be a team to face in preparation for the Carling Cup final.
On a separate note I will be handing out a few cards at the game to promote this website, if you're a new visitor reading after picking up a card then welcome. I try to update daily, failing this I always manage every two days at least. I welcome any contributions and am very happy to publish any well thought out pieces on Liverpool or football in general. Please feel free to check out some of my previous articles on here to get an idea of what I write about and if you like it then tell all your friends!!
See you tomorrow, block 202 of the Kop. YNWA.
