Williams is an interesting one alright.

Personally, from what I've seen of him, if he's going to make it at a top team it is more likely to be in that sort of a winger position, rather than as a fullback. He's inclined to be caught ball watching in defensive positions, but his pace tends to get him out of trouble some times, it's probably more suited to being used in attack. Interesting to see how he gets on, and Bradley too.

That's definitely a stronger Leicester team than I expected, if we can get a result it would be a very good showing from us. Very much a game where if we get through, great, if not, oh well I'll forget about it 10 minutes after the game.

Very happy with that Liverpool lineup.

League is the priority here.

Hope we win tonight but won't be crying myself to sleep if we're knocked out.

Leicester gone pretty much full strength....hard to get too excited about it either way tbh

Winning this would be Massive for Leicester. Crap start to the league. City are out. Another winners medal in this era. They'd be mad not to go for it.

Looking forward to seeing Bradley and Koumetio.

Leicester have had a nice break can afford to go full strength

Totally, makes absolute sense for them. Top 4 was never really on the table, and even less so now that Utd have brought in a manager, so a cup would make it a terrific season for them.

~Rebel~

Good save from Kelleher there on Daka - we saw him putting those chances away in the EL.

Anyone have a river? Can you PM me

Hope you like that cycling link 🤣

~Rebel~

Balls. Kelleher did alright to get down, but just not a strong enough hand...

Rough start.

kingshankly

Tsimikas awful for that goal

facehugger99

Could be along night.

Both full backs guilty of giving the ball away cheaply.

citytillidie

Should be easy for Leicester full strength V make shift defence

BorneTobyWilde

Leicester are not in the last 16 of the CL, or in a title race, so it's reasonable to expect they'd be fielding a strong team, they want to win trophies, they one FA Cup last season, here is another chance.

This Liverpool selection is a white flag, you can't expect anything but a big defeat.

fyfe79

Gomez gone walkabout again...

Vicxas

Yikes

~Rebel~

Would've wanted Koumetio to do a lot better in stopping the ball across as well... was very easy for Daka to pick his pass.

Charlie19

Hope this isn't a cricket score.. whatever that means;)

yourdeadwright

Game over

Joe Gomez is dreadful his positioning is like a 12 year old

Me too please

citytillidie

Teams have found just hitting it long causing Liverpool problems with that high line

The White Wolf

Only hope is that Hendo can galvanize them.

BorneTobyWilde

Judging players in a thrown together side is difficult,

We're well able for that with the full team - or close to it - but with the changes the last night and tonight we need to be playing a more canny game.

Charlie19

Woop Woop.

Lovely finish from the OX

~Rebel~

Oooof fucking great goal!! Looked like the chance was gone after Bobby took a touch, but that finish from Ox was a beaut!!

BorneTobyWilde

OX IN THE BOX!!!

Nice finish from Ox.

HESGOAL was nice ;)

steve_r

Good game this

~Rebel~

Y'know what, I bloody love the Carabao Cup. On the one hand, the pressure is kinda off, cause the stakes are so much lower than every other week. And on the other hand, you get some great exciting games with teams shaken up a bit, and get to watch a few of the lesser seen lads step forward.

facehugger99

Kelleher's going to get plenty of practice tonight anyway.

~Rebel~

Some lovely passing out of Billy so far in fairness!

~Rebel~

Ah great chance for Taki there, but he had to be quicker about things - needed to get the shot away as soon as the opportunity opened up for him.

BorneTobyWilde

Looked a penalty to me,

Fromvert

Billy Koumetio is a tank of a man at 19. Looks to have quick enough feet too for a CB and wants to get on the ball and pass too. Reading, positioning etc. comes with time but he has the size, confidence to want the ball and shown some glimpses of passing ability. Definitely looks a prospect.

Of course he gives it away just as I post that.

Fromvert

Not having that from Kelleher though, down the middle, don't care how hard it was hit.

~Rebel~

That was well done from Morton to get himself in front of Vardy and make the chance that much harder.

<edit>

Balls. Cracker from Maddison.

3 goals, and can't really blame Kelleher for any of 'em. Was down the middle alright, but so, so fast.

BorneTobyWilde

Men v Boys at times, and a few Girls.

Riesen_Meal

Peach of a goal, no stopping that unfortunately, it landed perfectly for Madison

citytillidie

Leicester can have this one as long as Liverpool win next week

BorneTobyWilde

Gomez is not up to speed, caused the first, and nearly another there.

Riesen_Meal

Gomez fast asleep there....

citytillidie

Real Madrid can have Gomez on this form

facehugger99

Gomez lucky his attempt at a rugby tackle missed or we're down to 10.

Charlie19

I think Kelleher just got a touch on that to prevent the fourth.

Enzokk

Not expecting much as the match is going on. Leicester hasn't played since the 10th and while they have injury worries, this is their strongest team just about. We have a make shift team, and while we could still make a game of this, with almost everything falling right for Leicester it is going to be a tough one I think.

Vicxas

Gomez has been shocking
