Royal Family :cry:
Sorry guys - anyone who thinks that Liverpool are going to play anything other than virtually a complete 2nd string side after Everton lost to Chelsea last night & left Pool so far clear in 4th (with so few games left) - is totally kidding themselves.
The fact is, you cannot get back to 100% fitness three days after a Prem league match. Now factor in Chelsea are NOT playing at all this weekend and have a long rest before Pool & CFC meet in the CL semi Tuesday night.
There's zero chance that the likes of Gerrard & Torres will be risked so close to such a massive game. If you were a Liverpool fan & a key player got clogged in that game (given the current situation) - then let's face it you would be furious at the manager for risking them.
With things as they are at Pool, Benitez won't give a rats arse what people say about playing a weakened side or where Liverpool are next season (especially if he goes in the current un-rest at the club) - it will all be about the here & now and the glory a 2nd Champions league win (or at least 3rd final) will bring - obviously including his CV here.
Sorry ... but if any of us are honest with ourselves here we should admit that Foolham are going to be playing Liverpool 2nd X1 tomorrow - and we all know what happened last season when the same thing happened!
and earlier this season when we beat them, let's be blunt and true.
