Liverpool (H) - Carabao Cup 4th Round - Thu 22nd Dec, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Same for me born 72. I was nearly 40 before I saw us win anything! But you know what? I wouldn’t change it for the world, it was character-building. City fans of our generation are bomb-proof and good humoured and natured to boot. The same cannot be said for the redtops.

Character building: a new way of saying getting twatted. Love it.

Are Spain getting knocked out? or are you assuming the Spanish lads are worse than the others left in the comp?

I assume it was (potentially) between Spain and Portugal for SF place.

Well City will now have Rodri and Laporte back, as well as either Akanji or Dias, so the central defender problem is gone along that for with holding midfielder.

Not really relevant to this game but now that we have two full backs fit, we have 5 class centre backs playing for 2 places. Good luck Pep sorting that out :/ Nice problem to have though

I think any lads who get knocked out of the quarters will feature too, with one of ake or alvarez are guaranteed to be out by then but that's the likely team right now. It will be competitive but wouldn't fancy our chances, Liverpool will have a full strength side out with majority of them fully rested Salah, Nunez and firmino have all basically had month off and would give that defence a hard time.
