Liverpool thread 2017/18

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

See the flags and smoke bombs have come out again.

Should we draw Liverpool - we'll lose at Klanfield as sure as eggs are eggs. Can we make sure it's only a one goal defeat, scoring a good few in the process, and do the business at home?

I would rather play them at home first and take a lead to Anfield

At least they already won it in the past. Unlike a certain club with some fans already talking about a quadruple.

Difference is that we won't celebrate until we actually win a trophy unlike the fucking Grievers who celebrated winning the premier league in 2014... Turned out nice in the end hahaha

Its great the way the media have positioned them as better than us ! Miles behind in the league, scored less goals, conceeded more, out of both domestic cups and havent played a decent side in the UCL yet - but they are better than us. YCMIU.

It won’t be an English ref.

No, probably be a Norwegian which would be even worse. Feels like we are destined to draw these ****s in the next round to me.

If we do we will beat them...comfortably and by a margin.

You know what the media are like. A couple of weeks ago they were losing at Swansea and Klopp was under pressure, they smash Porto and now they're the best team in Europe. It's just the embarrassing reactionary nature of British sports journalism.

Maybe. For all sorts of reasons I'd pretty much rather draw any other team in the competition. I don't doubt that we are a much better team than them (the league table tells us that) but they do seem to have a way of playing that troubles us so I wouldn't be terribly confident that we'd knock them out, I think it would be toss of a coin stuff. Plus I want to go somewhere nice for a few days away not an afternoon in fucking Liverpool. The whole excitement of European football is playing foreign teams, it would just be such a let down IMO to draw any of the English teams.

Yeah, agree. However, I think it’s pretty much nailed on that we get another English club as I fully expect 4 in the quarter finals. The 4 will get drawn against each other with Barca and Madrid avoiding each other in the other 2 ties.

Hopefully Chelsea go out which will give us slightly under 50% chance of drawing an English team. If we avoid an English team in the quarters then matches are going to get so much tougher that if we get through to the semi then every chance there could only be one or none others left in the draw.
