This fixture has derailed the season. The sooner it's over without injuries the better and we can get on doing what we should have done today if we still can.

Yes it certainly has.

Is anybody else suspicious of the draw for the CL quarter finals.
  • The two remaining English teams get drawn against each other.
  • Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern the three love children of UEFA are kept apart.
To win this you have to have a clear policy before the season commences.
  1. Throw the two Cup competitions by resting all your key players each game, if you win a tie it is a bonus.
  2. Rest key players in league matches that take place before a CL tie.
You still have to aim for a top four finish in case your plan comes unstuck, but that should be fairly easy to achieve with a quality squad.

When that draw with the Scousers came out with Anfield first up, I knew we were screwed.
 
Well beat em for sure. Still have a feeling we might pull this of. Sterling scoring a hatrick is only way to make a mense for yesterday
 
I'm wondering what happened to our defence that was good in the first half of the season. Is it that Stones was that good then or is it that our rivals have found out weaknesses?

I hope i do. On Thursday i was saying we had a chance but after them 2 games with calamitous and comical defending can you honestly say LIverpool won' score?
No chance in hell of us progressing, Pep has fucked up our 2 biggest games of the season because of his blind faith and refusal
to adapt in these 2 games. Some of his choices on Wednesday were crap and yesterday too. If he was managing Barca Vs Real yesterday he would field his best xi with Messi, Suarez etc but no he disrespects our fan base and doesn't get at all what yesterday meant to us. He didn't even field a striker ffs and put his faith in sterling who was hopeless.
Sorry but I couldn't care less about Tuesday and the CL and UEFA. its a foregone conclusion for me and I wanted to win yesterday and he got it wrong.
 
Yesterday's first half proved we can overcome this deficit. If we can create so many chances against United without De Bruyne and Aguero to finish them then we can do more damage to this Liverpool side when we'll be at full strength.

Totally agree, they made the English teams with the 2 hot balls, regardless who got drawn first or second, they wanted an English team eliminated, I saw the look on that ex Chelsea players face when he picked the balls out. It's done now, and we're done for Tuesday coz I can't see LFC not scoring.

Not so sure, to be honest. Could be a score draw. Could be anything. We played Everton off the park. Hell, we played United off the park for forty-five minutes. But our defence has been dire these last two games. I’ll be behind them 100%, of course, but I think after what’s happened in the last four days, all bets are off.
 
Since we will go all out,we will create chances to score 3/4/5/6 but how much will convert remains to be seen.
Again our back 4 opens itself up when attacked.Full back 4 needs to step up
 
Literally no idea. Thought we’d storm the last 2 and we lost. I’ll go for a defeat and no expectation and perhaps we’ll progress.
 
last 2 defeats have been sobering....hopefully those loses will focus minds...

start like the 1st half yesterday , but covert the chances as well...then we may have a slight chance
 
Nothing would please me more than for us to get a convincing win and go through.
I’m a realist though. I can see us getting another pasting because all they need is a draw. We won’t be able to stop them scoring. After watching the last two games it proves we don’t have the ability to be defend against teams willing to push us higher up the pitch, twinned with our comical keystone cop defending, our inability to be ruthless in front of goal and put away simple chances. Sterling should play to allow him to redeem himself after his disastrous attempts v the rags.
It’s shit or bust Pep, the comedy at Candlepool needs to be avenged. Can’t see it happening though.
It will be a close game but I think our calamitous defence will be our undoing and our wastefulness of clear opportunities.
1-1 or 2-1
 
I don’t want to hear a peep out of any players, no ‘we know we’ve let the fans and ourselves down’, no ‘we know we’ve got a mountain to climb’, or any other such banalities. Just get out there and beat them in 90 minutes. They’re just as brittle as we are.

The defence has been dire all season when attacked. Sloppy goals everywhere. Individual errors everywhere. The stats only look good due to us as a team not letting the opposition get close to our box (first half same yesterday) and opposition sides being too scared to attack us. When they have, they have had plenty of success.

I would love to see our goals conceded to shots faced stats. I bet it’s the highest or one of the highest percentages in the league.
 
I’m bizarrely optimistic for this.

Early goal and it’s game on.
Hopefully our lads will be hurting badly.
We might even look back and think losing yesterday was a good thing.

We fight to the end.........
