So who do we want in the semi?

[gazinho]

I always always put on these threads that I want the easiest tie possible. But in this case I would actualyl rather have the hardest one- Liverpool - because over two legs we are much less prone to a slip-up. Whilst I'd like to tonk them in the final, I'd have a bit of a bad feeling about it to be honest. They don't suit us, particularly with Klopp in charge and his pressing tactics.

Totally agree with this DD 99% of the time id be hoping for Stoke but this is 1 of those times id like to get Liverpool (providing they get through) we'd have too much for them over 2 legs whereas in a 1 off cup final with Klopp in charge I believe we could struggle

 

[Lancet Fluke]

if liverpool go through id sooner play them in the semi than in the final

+1. Stoke if Liverpool get knocked out tonight though.

Get Everton and beat them.

Southampton do Liverpool then we can win another final by beating a team in red and white stripes.

Simples!

 

[wolfie1988]

We want an away tie first up. Chance to win it in front of our empty seats!

 

[shemnel]

Stoke please. Everton very tricky at the moment

 

[franksinatra]

If Liverpool qualify I would prefer to play them in the semi as, like others have pointed out, greater margin for error over two legs. After that Southampton as it is local to me.

 

[abellwillring]

Assuming they win tonight, I'd probably rather play Liverpool in the semi than the final.

 

[Blue Smarties]

We won't beat Liverpool over two legs, so anyone but them. Then again, we also wouldn't beat them in the final.

Hoping they get tanked tonight.

Wtf.. Ok we got turned over a couple of weeks ago but we are still at a different level to them. They have won nowt in 10 years.

Makes sense to me.

I did.

Ideally Sjoke or Soton and IF we get through the other one in the final, playing either Scouse club would be a pain at either stage.

Liverpool & Everton away us always a pain and a Wembley way full of the fuckers would be a potential tinderbox.

 

[The Richard Wright Fan Club]

All four teams left will give us a game.

Everton put out there best team last night.

Stoke please.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Wouldnt Southampton be a bit of a trek down in the week in the middle of January?

 

[mscenterh750]

Liverpool so we can dish out some revenge, from the game the other week.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Don't care who we get we'll beat the bastards, then we'll beat the remaining bastards in the final to win the bastard.

 

[Hoghead]

Stoke in semi, and then hopefully Southampton in the final.
Scousers can just fuck off.

 

[bluemoon98]

Don't know why people think the Liverpool defeat was a one off and we will 'teach them a lesson'

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

Yup, just another game for Manuel to get fucked over tactically.
