Stuntman_Mike Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 I'm really looking forward to tonight. It's a free hit really with a lot to gain if we do snatch it. I'm interested to see how we perform. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 27 September 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 27 September 2023 Most important thing tonight is none of our players get injured. Strong contributions from Yunus, Coady and hopefully Daka. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 I think we are going to get a bit of a spanking tonight. I don't think the way we play will work well against a team that are as good at the press as Liverpool. Hope I'm wrong and really, I'm not all that fussed about the cup but I think our main focus for tonight would be keep it respectable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win, I'll be thrilled; if we lose, I'll forget about it within minutes provided there are no injuries. Please let there be no injuries. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM1968 Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 Will have to be on it. The press might present us with gaps to exploit. Likely a 3-0 thumping but you never know. We either pull off a miracle or we get to concentrate a little more on the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 Hope we go strong and try and take advantage of the fact that in the cups Liverpool generally play babies and seniors lacking match time. Really want payback for that awful defeat in the cup to their ressies under Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 I'd go something like this: Stolarczyk Albrighton Souttar Coady Nelson Casadei Hamza McAteer Yunus Iheanacho Daka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookfox Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 Sad reality is we have 46 other games this season that are more important than this one in the grand scheme of the club. Obviously success breeds success, it'd be good for confidence, bit of cash in the bacn etc if we do win... but tbh I'm not too bothered if we lose. I suspect Enzos team selection will reflect a similar view. Like others have said no injuries is key and losing by no more than 2 would be nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentFox Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 45 mins each for Coady and Souttar, for me. A half is ample for both. I absolutely would be getting Souttar back involved. He’s easily good enough to contribute, especially given how little defending we are having to do in the league games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 This was Liverpool's Europa League starting XI last week, i'm expecting pretty much the same to be honest. Worth noting they were pretty terrible until they made changes. Kelleher Bajcetic Konate VVD Tsimikas Elliot Gravenberch Endo Doak Nunez Diaz Diaz and Nunez also played at the weekend, so those two may well swap out for Jota and Gakpo. Similarly VVD has played back to back so it may be Matip in for him. There's also a young lad called Jarell Quansah who has been getting minutes here and there this season.

No matter who plays, Klopp would've drilled them to press high. You only have to look at a team playing similarly to us, Burnley, to see the difference between PL and championship. Head saying easy win for Liverpool, heart saying we win on pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely 40 in the league and F.A. Cup game depending on our progress, so minimum 41. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton and Hamza will either hide from the ball or will lose posession or put our CBs under pressure. Either way they would not deal with Liverpool's pressing ability. Casadei would get ran over and be a by-stander. All 3 CBs not played. Personally if the plan is to line up anything like that then I think we may as well save everyone the time and money and just forfeit the tie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerleeds Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 Just praying Ricardo and Winks get through it unscathed if they're involved. Wheels fall off I think if one or both get injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
