FA Cup SF | Liverpool | Sat 16 Apr 15:30 | Travel, Ticket & Pub Discussion

I might risk pelters from the Bluemoon ultras / limp dicks by suggesting we need to be the 12th man on Saturday.

Time for the supporters to do their bit. This would be a monumental victory if we can pull if off

Very true Gingers Dad.

I love the FA Cup, but under the circumstances I think focus should be on the Premier and Champions league. playing 100+mins last night, the physical and mental impact was huge. I'll take 0-0 and win FA cup semi on pens

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Still room for a few more on our coach from Yorkshire if any Bluemooners have decided to go to Wembley at the last minute.

Time for the squad players to show what they can do on Saturday, plus maybe a couple of kids. I wish Palmer was fit for this one, I think he would've played, Mcatee might get a go though

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Agree.

On the flip side, Liverpool also played tonight, and they have United at home next week.

On the plus side, the siege mentality, and the will to avoid defeat tonight will do us no harm.

I think it depends on what team Klopp picks. If he truly wants the quadruple, he will play as much of his 1st team as he can, and maybe risk United next week. If he wants the PL title more, he will use his squad players, just like Pep will.

I hope I’m wrong, but I also think Liverpool will edge the game, sadly.

Liverpool played their reserves last night and didn’t travel. They’ll play their best team against us and then rotate for United. It’s not about the quad for Klopp, he’ll know that’s not possible with us around. He wants the psychological edge is beating us at Wembley to take into the run in. Both managers will see the fa cup as the least desirable of the remaining three trophies but we will have to play the game with one arm behind our back.

i agree with you that gives them a disadvantage next Tuesday but they have an easy home game against a shit team so can gamble again.

A 3.30 kick off as opposed to the usual 5.30 for a semi-final on a Saturday may well work in our favour on that score. There might be less piss heads by kick-off time as it's less time for fans to get absolutely wankered and being in no fit state to sing!

One youth player deserves a start. I'd go with McAtee.

Could see us starting with something like

Steffen

Cancelo
Dias
Ake
Zinchenko

Ferna

Gundogan
Grealish
Sterling
Mahrez

Jesus

that would bring in 8 sets of fresh legs at least. Just need to count the walking wounded - Walkers injury looked the worst

Tickets no longer on sale it seems.
