Lacazette still has 16 goals in 21 games this season and he would cost €50m and above so I can't see us spending that kind of money.

So with Jose having a great record in the League cup in his first season with a club , and Klopp having an abysmal record in finals. Is there anything to be said for putting out kids tonight and quietly exiting the comp .

It would be the cowards way out , but the thought of getting beat in a final is almost too much to bare , might be worse than a win would be good , if that makes any sense .

No!

This is the problem with this forum being so pro United...the delusion starts to seep into other threads.

We've nothing to fear playing United or any team for that matter. We are more than a match for any of the remaining teams.

Southampton will be a tough test to get through and if both United and Liverpool get to the final that will be another tough test. You have to beat good teams to win cup competitions.

Really.....was it last season that he had a dip then? Or am I thinking of the wrong player completely?

Wasn't really a drop in form as such more throwing a strop to force a move last season. He still finished it better than 1 in 2 for the season.

A great striker but I dont think would suit us now.

He should have been the forward we signed when Brendan couldn't get the Sanchez deal over the line.

What's deluded about the first sentence which is the only one related to united. If your own support is pissing itself about a team behind it in the league it's hardly our fault.

Thanks in no small part to Agent Gerrard, the supposed Kop hero who twice tried to force a transfer to Chelsea in 2004 & 2005. He made a few notable efforts to endear himself to both Chelsea and Mourinho during his career at Liverpool.

2005: Chelsea won the League Cup Final thanks to an own goal by Steven Gerrard.

2010: Chelsea won the league by 2 points. Agent Gerrard played no small role in their success that season. Chelsea came to Anfield in early May, at the time they were top of the league by a single point. In the first half of the game, Gerrard 'uncharacteristically' played a back pass to put Didier Drogba through on goal. Liverpool never recovered and Chelsea won 2-0.

2014: Agent Gerrard's 'slip' robbed Liverpool of the league title at Anfield in a game against Mourinho's Chelsea. Chelsea won the game 2-0.

Once is an accident, twice a mistake, three times is a habit ... One goal and two assists in three pivotal games, he'd be the first player Mourinho would want on the team sheet. Thankfully Mourinho's secret agent isn't available to influence the result in favour of the 'gentleman' (Gerrard's own description of the man).

Hopefully some of this cockiness can be wiped off on Sunday with a Liverpool win.

I really wish there were some exceptions to the personal abuse rule on Boards...

To imply Gerrard intentionally cost Liverpool points/trophies is stupid.

I am quietly confident we could do them this weekend and that we will finish above them in the league at the end of the season ,not a fear of the team per say.

Liverpool midfielder James Milner, 31, who has played at left-back for most of this season, has been the second-best full-back in Europe, according to research by the CIES Football Observatory. It also names Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne, 25, as the best attacking midfielder on the continent. (CIES Football Observatory)

What that extract failed to say is that Coutinho was tied with be Bruyne in that list which was linked here the other day.

I taught Coutinho was 1st

Arsenal 4th in that list, must be legit.

Jayop

That CIES list is absolute BS. Must be based on nothing more than limited base stats and not people with actual eyes watching the games.

Didn't want to be on the stats list anyway.

Moral victory for the not on the list Juan.

Mignolet should be playing.....

Jayop

\There's plenty of United players on the lists so that's not the reason I'm calling it BS. For one thing they've got two of our attacking midfielders in the top 3 positions for defensive midfield. It's mental.

He's still not 100%, he's doing a Sturridge, just no back bone, has the wrong mentality, it will effect the squad, sell sell sell.

We are missing the spine of our team, Mig - Matip - Hendo - Cout.

One_Of_Shanks

I'll be fairly worried going into Sunday if Matip, Henderson and Coutinho are all out, or even 2 of them. Have a feeling Henderson and Coutinho will play though, please God.

Whats the craic with Matip, any injury updates on him?

Ye its not good. Its not ideal if matip hendo and coutinho all start on Sunday. Very high tempo game to have them all back in for.

It's a shame we didn't play them away for the first game, Maureen would not have dared park the bus at OT and we were flying then. Now its just about not losing that match, with the state of our squad and them in top form.

Of all the places you could whinge about overuse of a gag you choose THIS thread? You must have been asleep for all the pandas, breakfast etc.

I see a post that makes me laugh, I might feel like showing it via a reply

It's just the internet - You shouldn't take it so seriously. You surely have bigger things to worry about

That's what I had a laugh at. When I saw Pogba there I couldn't even remember him playing DM once for United :pac:

Ye its not an ideal time to face them. Even if we lose I still think we will finish ahead of them barring a major injury crisis.

True. Thing is though, whilst it's not ideal picking a player who hasn't played since injury, it's probably a gamble worth taking in particular with Henderson.
If Klopp deems Henderson fit enough to start Sunday then I would expect and hope he'll start.
The tempo may not be as big a problem as people make out, often these games turn out to be more like a game of chess and dull as dish-water for the most part so I'd rather henderson play than try to get by without him, personally.

If Coutinho can make the bench then that would be good and even a 90% fit Coutinho coming on could do something from nothing.

I don't know what Matip's situation is so no real comment there aside from it being a pity if he's out.

Anyway.... let's hope we do the job tonight and don't get any more injuries, crap timing with the ones we already have.

It's not like Henderson's been out long enough to have become too rusty anyway.

I do have bigger things to worry about which is why I deleted my reply, didn't realise it had been quoted before then. Oh well. It was a terrible gag tho. And you're right, jokes are often overused in this thread. Don't know why I took issue with this one. Maybe it was the use of the meme, a meme like that should be reserved for something special imo.
