We asked followers of @LFC on Twitter to come up with a pre-match teamtalk to inspire the lads to Wembley ahead of tonight's Carling Cup semi-final decider against Manchester City. Here are the best.

@adam_shappy Remember Istanbul? This is nothing like that. U r a better team than 05 but wont win anything if u dont believe it yourselves

@TheSpiritOf1892 You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small.

@samuelchanyf I want you to play for one another. Anyone can play for themselves, but I want you to play for each other like brothers. #morethanateam

@LFCtransfer Just give it to Gerrard.

@kvnrafferty1 Strategy simple - approach game as if we are 1-0 down from 1st Leg and we'll make it through to Wembley!

 @WillWall123 You play for the people. So play as if you were one of them!

@AttackoftheKop Shankly had the vision of building a bastion of invincibility. Here's the bastion, lets carry it on #YNWA

@ankurfarout Lets give these fans what they want here tonight. Get tackles in, play high tempo, let them know that 'THIS IS ANFIELD'.

@Goff118 We can't go out and try to defend all game again with Silva back for Man City. They'll punish us if we do.

@ErikOlsen8 "We are Liverpool Football Club".
