Carabao cup 2021/22

[davek]

They could beat Norwich away by fielding a bunch of local tramps in Liverpool shirts.

They're poster children for surrendering meekly to any and every top side.

You're missing the point: he doesn't want to get dragged into the tourmanent. He'll want the decks cleared...it's what he's pretty much done in the domestic cups since he arrived here.

 

[Tubey]

So despite being PL ever-presents since football's invention 29 years ago we're not a top side?

We're not no, as football doesn't work like that.

We're a big club, but not a top team.

 

[T LEAFE]

Bloody plastic pitch

 

[blue61]

Les Ferdinand will be back though.

There's always next year.

Terrible tie as far as attending the match if you live up north, but hopefully it's one we can win if we play a strong enough side

We'll see how seriously Benitez is taking this tournament now with that draw

 

[davek]

In what sense?

In the sense they are at home and a good Championship outfit and Benitez wont prioritise it.

That has a defeat all over it unless we are turning up with a first team...which we wont.

 

[RomanReigns]

They have bloody Charlie Austin

One of my best away days there though. That Hinchcliffe last minute winner was superb

I'd have preferred Norwich. Much rather in fact.

In these early stages a home draw against lower league opponents is the only way we'll guarantee progress.

We got away with it at Huddersfield. I doubt we will again. We wont play first teamers.

They won't necessarily field a full strength team either.

Liverpool play Norwich at least 15 times a season.

On a weekend I'd have no truck with it

But a mid-week night game means I'll have to either book it off work or risk missing the K-O

 

[ToffeeDan]

Another bye for The RS, Chelsea and City. Chelsea getting their traditional home tie.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Liverpool play Norwich at least 15 times a season.

I think that's Klopps wet dream

 

[davek]

They won't necessarily field a full strength team either.

They are more likely to than Benitez.

Expect another 9 changes to our team we face PL opposition with.

Benitez will take this LC seriously at the QF stage.
