A must win game for us against a struggling Man U side.
Thinking of putting out a strong side to wrap up our qualification and avoid the chance of a knock out game at Valencia.
RVN should feast on a weak back line and hopefully put this tie to bed by half time
You'd expect Malky to take all 3 points in the form they are in, although Andie is a bit of a cup man.
Hence wanting to win this one and be safe knowing we are all but in the next round, even then they may not be mathematically in the next round.

after Valencia's 3-2 away win at Marseille, i think it's unrealistic to think Liverpool will take anything from Valencia and a bit disrespectful to Andie to say you expect Liverpool to win this one!
the fitness of our midfield is a big concern and with Oscar_Serrano now injured for the next two matches we fully expect Valencia to put us to the sword!
lets not forget 31 rated forward Eusebio and 29 rated midfielder Sektioui to name two!
Andie is also unbeaten this season in both league and cup with a draw against league favorites Hearts and an away win as mentioned to Marseille i think Valencia are the form team!

Anything but a win for your guys and you are out, so thinking with home advantage you should be favorites. Andie has the luxury in knowing a draw even a defeat still leaves him with a chance of progressing. Although I'm sure he's looking at it like me and an opportunity to put the group to bed. I'm hoping for a draw!3

I'm sure you'll give Valencia a good go, after all you've beat the might of Barca, Ajax and ran Santos close. So with home advantage should be a close one here.
Although the league game against us may now have more importance with you sitting pretty in the league.

A tough challenge coming up, although on paper Juventus (amazingly) are little stronger than our Div 3 rivals, so this is definitely winnable if things go our way. But after a string of good results it's maybe time for our luck to run out, so I'm not expecting great things. From our point of view, a Santos win would be good, to keep Celtic off our tail.

Playing the BOSS away from HOME, we are getting nowt, looking at the Bayern game to put us through if honest! Got John pegged already, so should be a 5-4 win with Van the man saved for league action lol
If we win and Bayern get a draw against Man Utd, which is still possible! we will still be fielding a full strength team to put Bayern out!
A few surprises this week for Malky and John, so game on!

Very tricky tie versus Elite league opponents Everton, Carroll out for the Toffeemen and Rangers missing Yaga, both teams also have fitness niggles on a few players, can see both teams cancelling each other out and a snorefest of a 0-0 draw happening !!
Rangers at home and will be pressing for the win, but can see life being difficult for my strikers as Turner in goal is immense.

Really tough game for us away to Hearts. But you never know how seriously the big teams take the cup. Hopefully hearts will have their eye on the league and we can spring a surprise. It's the cup so we are probably favourites anyway...!!!
