Most major teams have had shock results against lower league teams over the years. It's the 'Cup Syndrome'. We won and we're second in the league FFS.
So following last nights injuries I guess we should be make bids to take Ryan Bertrand, David Luiz and Michael Essien on loan.
Sadly you are probably right! So we've got a few injuries. Don't tell me that United haven't got a few knocks as well. We do have an experienced squad - unlike the last few years. We are playing at home and we are LIVERPOOL. So let's get at them with whoever fills the shirts.
The chavs are about to pick our pockets again. 'Chelsea are on the verge of completing a deal for Liverpool target Christian Atsu, Goal understands. Jose Mourinho, who has already stolen Brazil international playmaker Willian from under the noses of Tottenham this summer, will now look to finalise a move for the highly-rated Porto winger. TRANSFER TALK 22/1 Fernando Torres is 22/1 with Coral to be Premier League top scorer Liverpool were in pole position to sign the Ghana international before displaying a reluctance to meet the Portuguese club’s £3.5 million asking price for a player who has just a year left to run on his current contract. Espanyol had also been in the running to sign Atsu and were willing to match the Portuguese club’s valuation but were unable to match the contract offers on the table from the Premier League giants. Competition for places is intense at Stamford Bridge, particularly in the wide and attacking midfield positions, even ahead of Atsu’s imminent arrival. Already this season the likes of Victor Moses and Juan Mata, two players who were crucial to Chelsea’s Europa League success last season, have struggled to force their way into Mourinho’s plans this term. Mourinho, whose side have begun the season by claiming seven points from a possible nine available and face Bayern Munich in Friday’s European Super Cup, may well be willing to allow Atsu to leave on loan with Espanyol a potential destination.'
