I actually have a bad feeling about this... However, I think we won't be beaten for these two reasons, if nothing else: 1. Mourinho has a hold over Pellegrini. One of the few times I ever seen Pellegrini rattled is by Jose. I think this will play into our hands. 2. No Yaya Toure. They haven't won a game without him in a long, long time.

For once, it's a good night to have a Liverpool supporting flatmate

Good to see Mourinho praise the fans tonight in his interview. God knows we deserved it.

Well that was slightly special, wasn't it? Terrific atmosphere, the bridge was absolutely buzzing. Oh, and small boys shouldn't be allowed to referee league cup semi-finals. Bring on Citeh.

Huge decision to play Zouma. Almost at the ground, getting slightly nervous now.

Spot on.

This game is massive. We can't afford to go out of two competitions in the space of 4 days. The psychological effect of going from 4 competitions to 2 so quickly would really deflate us for Saturday. Also, £25 for a semi-final is absolutely fantastic value. Credit to the club for its pricing on that.

The friendships scarves are an embarrassment, it's such a cringe to see how many people (tourists) that are actually buying them.

Well done to your team today, thoroughly deserved. All the best for the rest of the competition and season.

Still can't believe what I saw today. All due credit to Bradford though, they thoroughly deserved it. What was unacceptable was that they wanted it more, with a complete lack of desire in the second half from us. Need to pick ourselves up for Tuesday now. Win or lose, up the blues.

Can't believe what I've just seen. Utterly abject and embarrassing. The players didn't even bother to clap the fans who always stay to the end to applaud them off win, lose or draw.

We should really make wholesale changes for this; absolutely no need to risk anyone key.

Applies after extra time in the second leg, should it go that far.

Second half was very poor, Thibaut saved us. Decent enough result, we'll do them next week. Long journey home now...

Have you ever seen Gerrard win the league?

The Blues are here. Liverpool really is a sh*thole.

Supposedly City haven't won a game without Toure for almost a year. Let's hope Ivory Coast make it through the group stages, so he's not back for our game.

Poor defending though, of course...

Phil Neviille is probably the worst pundit around. Even worse than Owen. But who gives a f**k? We're top of the league.

Great minds etc. I wonder if Cech will still be here next season (that's a whole other thread in itself, though).

Not particularly, the comment was tongue-in-cheek. Incidentally, I see we are second in the running-order...

I didn't see the whole press conference, but if that's the case then fair enough. I'm equally comfortable with either of them playing; we are unbelievably fortunate to have two world class keepers.

Costa just shading it over Cesc, for me.

If Courtois is injured, why is he even on the bench?
