    Should be able to win this even with playing a couple of fringe players.

    Cavalieri
    Darby Skrtel Kyriakos Insua
    Spearing Aqualani
    Pacheco Babel Dossena
    Ngog

    Get Aqualani more game time and with that team we should be perfectly capable of beating Reading, 20th in the championship 3rd win in a row please

    Cavalieri
    Degan Skrtel Avaya Dossena
    elZhar Spearing Aqualani Reira
    Pacheco Babel

    I Would go for the following Starting 11, wouldn't suprise me at all if Kuyt gets into starting 11 even know he is needed off a rest

    If Rafa fielded that team I would think he did'nt want to win this cup no need for so many changes + I would'nt be to confident of a victory with that team.

    Absolutely love the FA Cup and I'm not a fan of playing any fringe team players in this one. From this current vantage point this is the most realistic chance of a trophy this season and we should always treat this competition with the respect it deserves.

    First team only and no snow/ice on the roads please.

    I hope Rafa for his own sake doesn't make too many changes for this game.Could you imagine the pressure he'd put on himself if he played alot of the fringe players and we lost he'd get slaughtered.Hopefully he can see this too.Full strength team and hopefully a convincing win for me please

    After Burnley in 2005 I think Rafa learned the hard way what the FA Cup means to Liverpool as a club. Am sure he will field a strong side that will see us progess into Sunday's draw.

    It was a similar task that faced the Reds at this stage last season and it was a very strong side that played against Preston. I'd predict a strong line up against Reading with Reina and 1 or 2 others max getting rested.

    We need to build momentum so a strong team has to play.

    Maybe give nando a rest and bring Ngog in. Apart from that I think it should be the strongest team possible. It'd be nice to see Pacheco get a good run out in the 2nd half

    To be honest I wouldnt be confident of the first team getting a good result here never mind the teams above

    Up until the 18th Feb we average a game every 6 days ....... so plenty of rest and time to play our best players and build up some confidence in the team .....

    i reckon we need to field a strong side to get some momentum going and id snatch the hand off anyone offering me winning the cup in may.however id love to see spearing and pacheco get some game time too,although i think aquilani must start to get him up to speed.i was reading oliver holt in the mirror yesterday and he branded him a flop,talk about instant judgement.probably the best approach is to field our best available 11 and hope we have the job done quick enough to bring on some fringe players.
