EFL Cup 3rd Round Draw

[when_you're_smiling]

The only non-Prem team to be drawn away to a Prem side. 

[Pliskin]

How ****ing rubbish. Couldn’t have picked a worse draw….

[Aus Fox]

Depends what side Liverpool put out and where their priorities lie.

Some massive ties - Newcastle v Man City, Chelsea v Brighton, Brentford V Arsenal and Man Itd v Crystal Palace.

If we can find a way through, the draw will really open up in the next round 

[Legend_in_blue]

How many games are before this one to extend our unbeaten run?

 

May as well make the most of the opportunity to extend the run before this one. 

 

[Stuntman_Mike]

Shite draw.

Liverpool play the Sunday before and Leicester play the Friday after

[Guest nathan.]

I’m happy 

 

Cup competitions mean nothing this year.

Only advantage is Liverpool may play a young team.

Hopefully we do the same. Blackburn on the Friday night after far more important now

We’re not one of the balls to look out for 😟

They even used to leave us off after we finished 5th in Premier League. No chance now 

[moore_94]

No doubt they will schedule it to favour Liverpool

I wonder who they will wide with....

[Stevosevic]

Why do people care? 
 

We had our chance to win this in recent seasons - including throwing away a 1/4 final at Anfield. 
 

We can’t go deep in this anymore. It’s honestly a waste of time when we’ve got so many midweek games this season.

Well, duh  

[Lambert09]

really annoying draw. 
 

I was getting excited about playing a lower half prem side to really test where we are at. But there’s no good to come from this one. 

 

Very bad memories from the last liverpool away game in the cup 

[smallpauldj]

So we play 3 times in a week, Bristol City on sat, Liverpool surely Tues, Blackburn on Friday.

Probably Newcastle v Man City, Salford v Burnley and maybe Chelsea v Brighton ahead of ours in the TV pecking order 

Nah, Man Utd and Liverpool are almost certain to be on in any round of any cup competition- their large global fan bases mean they are already a ratings winner. 
As much as it’s a great cup tie, no one is looking forward to watching Salford v Burnley 

[Haywood_6]

You can guarantee we'll get tonked 4 or 5 against them. The league is all that matters this season anyway. Might be a blessing in disguise.

[Phenom]

Interested to see how Maresca approaches playing a team who is clearly better.

The number of away draws we’ve had in this competition in recent years has been ridiculous. 

Better than playing in a half empty KP stadium, no?

They can't even move the Liverpool game as West Ham will be playing on the Thursday. 

 

What if our Blackburn game gets moved to the Saturday? 

[VLC86]

Wout turning up at Anfield again like

That would be the logical thing to do, won’t happen though. We’ll be playing twice in 48 hours. Absolute joke
