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

Pep’s record against them is:
P18 W5 D5 L8 W%27.7

In the last 7 it’s been:
P7 W1 D3 L3 W%14.3

We’ve not won any of the last 5 against them, we’ve lost the last 3.

We often shit ourselves against this lot, the team are as bad as our boardroom when it comes to bowing down for the cunts.

I posted earlier in the thread about our appalling record against the cult.

The last time we beat these cnuts in 90 minutes of cup football was way back in February in 1973: FA Cup replay at Maine Road.

They are likely to have Jota Salah and Nunez all fit and they will be a handful for sure. Could be a good game for Phillips

He only came back yesterday and no pics of him or Dias training. Although Dias is apparently injured.

Big drop in City's odds this morning-with a similar drift in Liverpool's.

Either we are going stronger than expected, or they are weaker.

Which games did we lose that mattered? say ended up us losing the league because of it or a trophy!

Didn't pep say they and other players weren't available for selection tomorrow

I see the tweet I quoted has been deleted which would suggest it's not true. Apologies for causing any panick.
Ford Maddox Brown at 3.30, bring these cunts on.

Even better odds now for the flappers, 11/4 to 10/3 for a dip 90 mins win.

Wouldn’t say we wimp out, but Pep does ask our players to take the emotion out of an occasion and play with their heads, he knows matching fire with fire normally means we’ll be down to 10 men, he prefers patterns of play & playing as a unit, as opposed to a NDJ or VK going off script and wiping one of the fookers out. Unfortunately this sometimes feels like the script is written before kick off, especially at their place, be funny if Pep went with a youthful team leaving them with no moral victory whatsoever (if they won) it would feel like a surrender, I’m not advocating it at all but it would be a very Pep thing to do

I think that if Phillips plays he's highly likely to wipe one of the fookers out, as you put it.

Jota won't be fit until February

I have the regular winter flu, ten times worse than covid but something we have never swabbed for…..

Gutted to be missing this one, worse still my ticket was one of those “upload to mobile passes” so can’t even transfer it to someone else it seems

Everyday this week shops have been full of people coughing, felt ill yesterday so tested thick line straight away.

Wonder how many bother these days, can see a surge in deaths this Xmas. Maybe covid is akin to the common cold now, however, looking at China right it isn't there.

I reckon a few thousand with a cold will chance it and not test.
