THAT'S THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO

Ian Rush’s advice to Liverpool:

“If Liverpool are not up for this one, we will lose. We should go into the match as if we are facing Manchester United at Old Trafford — then we won’t have a problem.

“The fact the game is live on TV is proof enough the BBC think there will be a shock and, let’s not kid ourselves, they want Liverpool to lose.

“The TV people will be really disappointed if we win comfortably — so I hope we make sure that is what happens.

“Everyone in the country wants Liverpool to lose, apart from our own fans, and the nation will be cheering on the plucky underdogs.

“The fact everyone wants us to slip up should be all the motivation we need to make sure it does not happen.

“I am making the fourth-round draw so I will not be happy if Liverpool are not in it.”



If they play as though they’re facing United then they’ve no chance, surely?

*Dilemma of the day - okay, so we’d love Yeovil to win but do any of us really want Houllier sacked?
