Carabao Cup 4th Round Draw | Liverpool (H) | 8pm, Thurs 22nd December

Yea but he's shit so it doesn't matter ;)

It will be a strange game, 3 days after the WC final, possible injured/exhausted players on both squads, temptation to play the kids, a crowd of possibly many kids and families (like the Chelsea tie) and Haaland and Salah! I have absolutely no idea how all that will spin out.

Klopp will.play a full team. There's no way he'll put out a weakened team.

6000 Scandinavians at the Etihad. Carnage!

Repeat of 1976 final coming up.

What Southampton rags ;-)

Weeks of Sky Sports News/Talkshite trying to shame us into behaving and not singing anything naughty. If we do Liverpool should get a bye etc.

Surely they will be focusing on the World Cup?

Why?

Cos I hate playing those cunts! I hate the thought of 8k cultists polluting our ground. Also I’m fairly sure we’ve got something like twice as many players going to the World Cup so likely their team on the night will be much stronger (relatively) than ours

Whatever happens it will not be their fault!!!!

Given its the tie of the round, decent chance we play on the thursday 22nd with the draw after it so a couple more days rest but more importantly that's also a few days closer to the dippers boxing day game whereas we don't play until the 28th. Would influence Klopp's decision to go strong if it were the case.

Didn’t GMP stop the club giving United 5k at our place and us having 7k at the swamp few years ago? Could see them pushing for the same.

You are forgetting who it is though!

If it was Klanfield we'd get 3k

Our place they get the full entitlement, can't be seen to discriminate against that lot

Well, they are proposing that teams in European competition don't take part in the League Cup or their give their U21 sides a chance. Check the "New Deal For Football" thread. I said "in a while" because I think if it happens, they'll see a drop off in views and change it back within a few years.

Premier League agrees the "New Deal for Football" aka please don't regulate us.
