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

[Manchester_lalala]

Liverpool will have a fairly strong, rested team out. Forward line will be Diaz Firmino Salah and their back line will be strong. Thiago hasn’t been picked so he will be starting too. Hopefully we have a few our World Cup players back, we’ll struggle if not.

Yes but there is rested and non match fit, it will be like after a summer off for those players and will need a couple of matches for them to get match fit/ sharp. If they benefit it will be as the season progresses Feb / March.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

We should give them the welcome they deserve ? Really ruffle some feathers on the way in
But we are Manchester city and the best fans in the world, we respect our club and never hide behind a wall to blame it on somebody else,

Let's beat them on the field of play, beat them good and proper, then the players and manager can stand tall and also say what great fans we have

Timing is perfect.

Most of our players will be back from the WC and had at least a weeks rest.

This will feel like the first game of the season with a really toxic edge which will get the old school lads out for fun and games !!

Pep wants as many players as possible in match rhythm and with 5 subs will have plenty of options to win this and prepare for the Dirty Leeds game.

Will the loveable little urchins be liaising with Murkeyside plod to arrange another coach welcome?

Oh wait...

[Spurs quarter 69]

It's just been announced, on the night of the game, no trams to or from the Etihad and no trams from Altrincham. The dippers have 7,509 tickets and Cilla is doing the prematch entertainment.


I might have overdone it with Cilla.

Collaboration was an Evertonian her husband was a red dipper.

 

[CityDean]

Perfect draw really especially given its at the Etihad.

Win and we are long odds on to win this trophy whilst if we lose (hope not to those vermin) we are fresher for a tough January period.

Be nice to win though just to increase the chances of the dippers drawing a blank this year.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Even less ideally, perhaps we can request no away fans

Was Akanji not selected for Switzerland?

He will still be home early!!

 

[Tricky_Trev]

They are going to have a much, much stronger team on the pitch than us. It feels like that Chelsea game we had to ‘throw’ all over again.

 

[Tolmie scores]

Same, i think we play Germany QF and go out

never know though

I think if Portugal get to SF / Final (which is more than possible) = problem for us...England (Foden aside) we can easily do with them scraping through (which is less likely)
