Liverpool vs. Boro BBC Sport: "Liverpool striker Milan Baros was ruled out of the league defeat by Birmingham because of a hamstring injury and will not be risked in this cup tie. Neil Mellor and Florent Sinama-Pongolle are likely to be paired up front while Xabi Alonso, Luis Garcia and Dietmar Hamann are rested. Middlesbrough boss Steve McClaren is set to continue trying his youngsters. Gaizka Mendieta, Ugo Ehiogu, Michael Reiziger, Szilard Nemeth, Malcolm Christie and Stuart Parnaby are out. " Couldn't call this one. Could go either way although I think the pool might edge it. Gonna be slightly more contested than the geordie game I feel
Re: Liverpool vs. Boro we haven't missed a single one of them and look a more balanced team minus mendieta. think it will be a score draw, although i dunno where liverpools goal is gonna come from.
Re: Re: Liverpool vs. Boro I agree.. although I expect it to come from midfield. We;ve got the unusually sound lokking (of late) pairing of Biscan and Diao in the centre with Stephen Warnock and Darren Potter on the flanks. Rumour has it Hasselbaink, Schwarzer, Southgate, Boateng and Viduka may also be rested....
if you boys are resting all of those players i'm glad its not on tv Pool will qualify for Europe - probs CL through the league Boro? Although you look good at the mo I wouldn't have said uefa qualification was guaranteed through the league You should be playing your strongest team My hotel in Cardiff is already booked
