Had a look on the Shed and I think this is the view shared by both sets of fans.Absolutely brilliant draw for us this.
Don't get me wrong, I love winning ANY trophy but we've won this a lot recently and I get the feeling that Pep isn't treating this the same as the other trophies now if I'm honest.
My ideal draw would be Chelsea - which we've got, then Liverpool. If we beat those two then we've a very good chance of winning the cup. If we go out now then we've got some extra dates spare to concentrate on the FA, PL and CL.
I don't think Sterling would play, but to be honest I'd like to see him play against us. I want to see if he was as good - or bad - as I remember him being. I think when he plays against us, we'll probably see what we're missing. However, I think we've enough quality to keep him quiet and remind him of what he's missing.
World cup final is on the sunday, Carabao is the following midweek.The 4th round is just before Xmas, the World Cup is still on then, so what happens? That’s if we get through of course.
Yes! 2 champions leagues to zero, forever in their shadow!Why? Do you think chelsea are better than us .
Guess it depends on how far teams get in the WC.Even if we beat Chelsea, I don’t think we’ll have enough players fit/available to play the 4th round…it’s 2 days after the World Cup final! Most of our squad will likely either still be in Qatar or not long returned…!
On penaltiesWe can watch Sterling miss chances for someone else!
He's nailed on to score the winner for them now I've said that!
Yeah, let’s say any 3 of England, Portugal, Spain, Belgium and Brazil make the quarter finals…that’s most of our squad still playing in Qatar the week before the 4th round of the league cup!Guess it depends on how far teams get in the WC.
They might all be home by then too though.Yeah, let’s say England, Portugal, Belgium and Brazil make the quarter finals…that’s most of our squad still playing in Qatar the week before the 4th round of the league cup!
Still, gotta beat Chelsea first and worry about it later!
They were difficult games for Liverpool and the rags.
Why would clubs do England team any favours mate?Both teams will rest the top players so near to the World Cup break.
Yeah true. But how fit are they all going to be? I suppose this is the problem with having a World Cup halfway through a season, total madness!!They might all be home by then too though.
When have liverpool or united played Fulham or Brentford at home this season?
At least the English players will be ready :)Even if we beat Chelsea, I don’t think we’ll have enough players fit/available to play the 4th round…it’s 2 days after the World Cup final! Most of our squad will likely either still be in Qatar or not long returned…!
We could get an easy draw though, like away at the rags.Yeah true. But how fit are they all going to be? I suppose this is the problem with having a World Cup halfway through a season, total madness!!
But anyway, probably one for another thread that one…
This all day long Get em beat then the next lot then the next lot Massive trophy when anyone else wins it so let’s make it ours againSome strange views on here regarding that draw
4th placed trophy etc it’s disastrous isn’t it . Man up people it’s the last draw Chelsea wanted . In it to win it. End of.
