So who do we want in the semi?

They have a very good manager. The same can't be said for ourselves.

I'm not his biggest fan and Klopp is a good manager no doubt; but you are aware his team got beat by Palace at home 2 weeks ago aren't you? are does that not count? You'd think they're Barca the way you're making out.
 
Whoever we get I want an away draw so that we get the 2nd eg back at our place. Weve been in the semis 3 other teams recently and have always had to play the 1st leg at home in each one - Utd, Liverpool and West Ham - so its time we got the 2nd leg at home.

Stoke would be ideal if I could pick but first leg away would be helpful which is something we never seem to get.
 
Every team will be tough and present their own problems so I favour none. We don't have great records away at any ground and mixed results at home so any team we draw will be hard.
 
Liverpool for me .

It's about time we started beating them .
I'm still haunted by those hammering's they used to give us in the 80s .
Plus I'm still not over that defeat we had to suffer 4 years ago .

Who would you put your money on to motivate his squad and get the tactical decisions right in a semi-final or final of a cup competition - Klopp or Manuel? Unfortunately we both know the answer to that question.

You mean Manuel who won the same final less than 2 years ago and has well beaten a Chelsea team in a cup competition who had the so called 'master tactition' Mourinho in charge? As I said I'm not his biggest fan, but fact remains he has been at our club not much longer than 2 years and has won the league and carling cup. Very easy to say 'he should win everything with the squad available'. Dose of reality needed by some fans. Meanwhile I wait for Klopp to win a cup and finish in the top 4 this season.
 
I have a feeling it will be Everton with the Home leg first, the week before we play them in the league.
 
If Liverpool win tonight then I want them over two ties in the semi-finals.

Absolutely no way would I want to play them in a one off game at Wembley because I just think they are one of the teams in the league who know how to play against us.
 
We're the strongest team left in the competition and should fear nobody.
The only reason I'd slightly prefer Liverpool in the semi is so we don't have to mingle with their gobshite fans at Wembley.
