Carlisle Utd sit in tenth in League Two, but are the division's top scorers with 17 in 8. They have a GD of 0 and are unbeaten in their last 6 games.

 

This should mean that our lethal strike force fill their boots, while our tight defence keep this lot well out.

 

10-0

Chance for Origi to kick a ball. Maybe even start.

 

He won't be starting any league games any time soon, in fact before he's loaned out next summer this may represent his best chance of playing

Canny leaving Sterling on the bench yesterday as he badly needed a rest. Means he can play 120 mins against Carlisle, before being utterly f***ed against Villa.

 

Oh.

Double Agents

 

In advance of our League Cup meeting with the Cumbrians at Anfield on Wednesday, YNWA looks back at the careers of some of those who have represented both the reds and Carlisle United.

 

Most recent double agents

Aussie custodian Dean Bouzanis arrived at Anfield in the summer of 2007 and helped the reds to reach the FA Youth Cup Final in 2009. He spent much of the 2009/10 season on loan at League Two side Accrington Stanley, turning out nineteen times in total, and was released by the reds in April 2011, first moving on to Oldham Athletic. He was released by Greek side Aris Thessaloniki in December 2013, joining Carlisle for free in January 2014, but did not make the first team, signing on with Western Sydney Wanderers in his hometown four months later.

 

David Amoo made his reds bow as a substitute in our UEFA Europa League qualifier at Rabotnički Skopje in July 2010, moving on to Preston North End in July 2012 after several loan spells away from Anfield. He joined Carlisle in June 2013, having been released by Tranmere Rovers at the end of the previous campaign. He top scored as they were relegated to League Two, being named Players’ Player of the Season and United Trust Player of the Season. He was released in May 2015 after an injury-hit second season, having netted sixteen goals in 79 outings in total.

 

Nathan Eccleston made his reds bow in our Carling Cup defeat at Arsenal in October 2009, making nine senior appearances without finding the back of the net before being sold to Blackpool in August 2012, spending one month on loan at Carlisle in October 2013, failing to score in three outings. Midfielder Craig Roddan joined the reds’ Academy from Wigan Athletic in 2007, joining Carlisle on loan in November 2013, appearing just once from the bench. He was released at the end of that season having failed to break through at Anfield.

 

Also up front

Peter Beardsley signed from Newcastle United for a British record £1.9m fee in July 1987, winning two League titles, an FA Cup and two FA Charity Shields, scoring 59 times in 175 games. He was controversially sold by Graeme Souness to Everton for £1m in August 1991. He had begun his professional career in Cumbria in August 1979, helping them to promotion to the Second Division in 1982. He struck 29 times in 126 games before signing for Vancouver Whitecaps in September 1982 for £275,000, after a successful loan spell.

 

John Durnin failed to break through at Anfield, making only two League Cup appearances and one in the Mercantile Credit Centenary Trophy before his departure to Oxford United for £225,000 in February 1989. His most recent appearance at Anfield came as he scored the only goal of the Replay 86 game in aid of the Marina Dalglish Appeal in May 2006. He joined Carlisle on loan from Portsmouth in December 1999, signing on permanently two months later. He scored three goals in 23 games as they narrowly escaped relegation from the Football League, but left the club at the end of the season.

 

Jon Newby only made four substitute appearances while at Anfield, as well as staying on the bench on a further five occasions, moving on to Bury for free in March 2001. He had joined the Cumbrians on loan in the same month as Durnin, but failed to make their first team. Sean Friars never made our first-team, and moved to Ipswich Town in 1998. He left there for Carlisle in November 2001, but only played once.

 

Bobby Murdoch struck seven times in nineteen reds games after signing as a professional in May 1957, as we struggled in the Second Division. He moved on to Barrow in September 1959. He joined Carlisle from Stockport County in 1961, netting once in ten League games before moving to Southport the following year. Owen Brown was a youth player for the reds, signing pro terms with Carlisle in 1980. He scored twice in four League games, moving on to Tranmere Rovers the following year.

 

Inside-forward Willie Carlin signed pro terms in May 1958 but only made one first-team appearance for the club, a 1-1 draw at Stoke City in October 1959, and moved on to Halifax Town in August 1962, going on to make a total of over 400 League appearances for a variety of clubs. He left Halifax for Carlisle United in 1964, helping them to reach the Second Division before joining Sheffield United in 1967 after 21 goals in 93 League games.

 

Local lads

Left-half Geoff Twentyman netted nineteen times in 184 reds games after signing for £10,000 from his hometown club Carlisle United in December 1953, having struck twice in 149 League games for the Cumbrians. He left Anfield to take over as Player/Manger for Ballymena United in March 1960, returning to Carlisle for another ten League outings as a player for the 1963/64 season before taking charge of Morecambe. He returned to Anfield as Chief Scout in 1967, a post he held for nineteen years, helping to bring players such as Ray Clemence, Alan Hansen, Steve Heighway, Phil Neal and Ian Rush to the club. He died aged 74 in February 2004.

 

Carlisle-born Steve Harkness signed pro terms for his hometown club in March 1989, moving to the reds for £75,000 just four months and thirteen senior games later, having impressed at centre-forward in a FA Youth Cup encounter. He netted three times in 139 games, before teaming up with Graeme Souness again at SL Benfica in March 1999.

 

The management

Right-half Bill Shankly played for Carlisle in the 1932/33 season, where his uncle Billy Blyth was a director, making sixteen senior appearances, moving on to Preston North End for £500 the following summer. He started his managerial career back in Cumbria, in March 1949. He provided the struggling Third Division North side with a new first-team strip, and persuaded the board to purchase a large house that was converted into flats for new signings. He led them to ninth in his first full campaign, and then third, which was not enough to secure promotion. Following the board reneging on the promise of a bonus, he resigned in June 1951, taking over at Grimsby Town, after leading them to 42 wins in 95 League matches. He was appointed reds boss in December 1959. Words cannot fully explain his importance to the history of Liverpool Football Club, but his honours as reds boss included three League titles, two FA Cups, the UEFA Cup and the Second Division championship, before sensationally resigning in July 1974.

 

Andy Beattie guested for the reds at full-back during the Second World War, and later spent some time on our backroom staff. He managed a host of clubs as well as the Scotland national side, working with Bill Shankly at Huddersfield Town, having played alongside him at Preston North End. He took charge at Fourth Division Carlisle in May 1958, moving on to Nottingham Forest in 1960.

 

Also at the back

Keeper Mark Prudhoe signed on loan from Stoke City in November 1994. He never made our first team, but sat on our bench eight times. He joined the Cumbrians for £10,000 from Walsall in December 1987, moving on to Darlington for the same fee in March 1989, after 36 appearances.

 

David Raven made four first-team appearances but left Anfield to sign for Carlisle United in July 2006, moving on to Shrewsbury Town in July 2010 after 28 outings. Michael Burns featured in our FA Youth Cup triumph in 2007, moving on to Bolton Wanderers that summer. He signed his first pro contract with Carlisle in January 2009, making just two senior appearances before moving to Newport County two years later.

 

Other double agents

Right-half Ted Savage played 105 reds games after signing from Lincoln City in May 1931. He made his debut as a forward, netting his only two goals for the club in a 4-0 defeat of Grimsby Town at Anfield that September. He moved on to Manchester United in January 1938, guesting for the Cumbrians during the Second World War.

 

Midfielder Mick Halsall left Anfield in 1983 after six years as a professional without making the first team, forging a successful career in the lower divisions. He left Birmingham City for Carlisle in a £5,000 deal in October 1984, moving on to Grimsby Town for £10,000 in 1987 after eleven goals in 92 League games. Other double agents include Terry McDermott’s son Neale, who scored three goals in eighteen games between August 2006 and April 2008.

Down Memory Lane

 

YNWA looks back at our previous visits from Carlisle United as we prepare to welcome them for a League Cup tie on Wednesday. So far we have won three and drawn the other of our four Anfield encounters to date in all competitions.

 

Previously in the League Cup

Phil Boersma struck twice in our 5-1 thumping in a League Cup Second Round replay in September 1972, so becoming our first goalscoring substitute in the competition, having replaced John Toshack with the game still scoreless. Kevin Keegan, Chris Lawler and Steve Heighway also netted, with Tommy Smith having a penalty saved.

 

A League win

Carlisle’s only ever League visit came in April 1975, when strike partners John Toshack and Kevin Keegan struck in a 2-0 victory.

 

On our way to Wembley

We were held to a goalless draw in a rainstorm in an FA Cup Fourth Round tie in January 1974. Fortunately, we won the replay three days later in Cumbria, going on to claim the trophy for the second time at the end of the season. Three years later, Kevin Keegan, John Toshack and Steve Heighway were all on target as we won 3-0 at the same stage, with Heighway’s strike being our 400th in the competition. We again went all the way to the Final, this time losing out to Manchester United.

Dunno if Sturridge needs minutes, or needs to rest up after getting 60. Deffo needs his sharpness back..
