Might put a bet on for Liverpool to win so I have a win win win from the 3 possible scenarios.

Liverpool win - money
Draw - extra game for Liverpool
Wolves win - Dustin the Turkey rant

Quite happy to see them knocked out of a second competition in a week. That sort of thing massively hurts moral, especially when you're knocked out by teams below your level.

This would be morale crushing for them if they go out. I'd rather that.

Jayop

You can't lose finals if you're not in them I guess.

GSPfan

Lets say they lose today, thats 3 home loses in a row with Chelsea up next. Wonder when the last time they lost 3 or 4 home games in a row was. It'd be nice for Klopp to break a few long standing records like Moyes did.

Ah Id rather they get a replay to be honest. Its still a kick in the morale not beating wolves at home.

Getting a draw from 2-0 down could actually restore morale. Never give up etc, character, etc. The best result is they get beaten here.

Utd's form is bad in the last few games. Need a win against Wigan or the schadenfreude is on us.

Jayop

Klopps interview will be epic after this. He's having meltdowns here because they didn't get penalties after dived.

TheDoctor

Liverpool remind me of a slightly higher tempo LVG team.

Lots of passing around, possession and few shots on goal.

I'm not watching the game but how bad is it?

I've been amazed by how many penalties they've been getting this season. They must go looking for them.

Utd players don't even bother appealing after a foul in the box now.

GSPfan

This is a good game. Glad i watched it.

Been watching since the second half and they've had one appeal which was as big a dive as you're likely to see.

No bias either, it was blatant.

GSPfan

In fairness to Liverpool they get a lot of players in the box to get their penalties. Yeah they get gifted a lot but if Zlatan Martial and Mkhitaryan got in or stayed in the box a lot more then we'd probably get more penalties.

Three dives with big appeals. Absolutely pathetic from them.

I just hope we beat Wigan which should be expected, but eggs shouldn't be counted before they hatch.

Who will Klopp blame for this loss?
Interview should be entertaining .

When we were going through a bad patch earlier in the season,the media were lapping it up

Will Klopp get the same treatment now after what has been a disaster of a month for him

I doubt it.

Thats cause we're a much bigger club so we get more attention!

Doesn't bother me at all.
Can't be critical of Pool or the usual suspects will cry foul.

Klopp has done a wonderful job up until a few weeks ago to have Pool in that position. They have very little quality in the squad overall.
He needs to regroup now and get a few wins or their season could really die off in the next 5/6 weeks.They have no hope of winning anything now so need to consolidate a CL spot or the season will have been a huge failure.

If them and Pool go out today, would be brilliant. Makes the competition much more winnable.

I would worry about form rather than number of games. Look at Liverpool, a bad run of form has knocked them out of two cup competitions and the form makes winning the PL look extremely unlikely.

Not sure if posted already but good interview with Warren Joyce in the indo. Absolutely bang on in what he says about young players these days and also in his criticism of Pogba.

Meh. I've never massively agreed with the concept that top squads can't handle an extra game or two over the season. Looking at the Spurs team today, it looks a second string team; their first team players are still getting rested regardless.

Liverpool have just proven they couldn't handle the extra games cause their squad is weak. But, You don't need a top squad if you are knocked out of every competition. Liverpool now can go back to 1 game a week with loads of time to prepare and recover. They will use the same 11 to 14 players and finish the season strong if they don't get a serious amount of injuries.

Spurs have put out a second string side because they don't have a strong squad and can't risk tiring out their first 11. Hopefully they draw and have to travel for a replay.

Considering we are still in 4 competitions and Liverpool are in 1, I can guarantee you it gives them an advantage over us now for the rest of the season.

Yeah they may have a slight advantage in the league, but we actually have a lot of squad depth and can rest players for cup games and still put out a decent side.

And a bigger point is we can win things this year, you know the whole point in playing football whereas bar an outside (aka no) chance in the league it's another barren season from them.

I'd rather be where we are right now.

The preparation is the key. And what games is Zlatan rested for exactly?

Id rather be in all 4 competitions just like you but that is not the point at all and you know it. It's about whether it will have an effect on our ability to overtake Liverpool and get into the top 4.

To be honest id rather a top 4 finish over an efl or fa cup win this season. Finishing in a Europa League spots will harm everything for next season.

That Spurs match sounded amazing!

Looks like they have won it at the very end as well 4-3 now.

I acknowledged in my first line he has a point. It's an advantage for them in the league but not a huge advantage.

I'd take trophies every time over finishing in the top 4. That's what's happened arsenal, concentrate everything on the top 4 trophy and with some of their best teams in history they managed what, 1 cup in about ten years.

I honestly would hope that no United fan if offered to swap places now with Liverpool would do so. We're still in with a great chance of CL next season either by league or winning El. We're in the final of the league Cup and still in the cup that we're defending.

Bar the few bad performances lately we've a lot to be optimistic about.

I wouldn't swapwith Liverpool either as I am glad we are still in the Europa League and want to win it but if I was offered top 4 right now and no trophies id take it. We wouldnt end up like Arsenal either as their fault was due to finance restriction. We are gonna spend big but Champions League football is a draw we need.
