[Fabio]

Good lord

 

[tombrown]

Robbo at CB?

 

[i_rushie]

Lol what a team to put out against opponents that have had our number in recent times. After this, there'll be people going "this is why Gomez/Endo/Chiesa never starts"

 

[Fabio]

Robbo at CB?

Seems it

 

[Fabio]

That team is absolutely a confidence killer for some of those players. That team won't play well, players will be scapegoated and out the picture for a while

 

[tombrown]

Klopp did this in the FA cup vs the blues ...and then Curtis

 

[mike2903]

Robbo at CB?

He'll be left wing and Chiesa will be at centre back

End of Kerkez if we get smashed

Yeah but that wasn't in the middle of an awful run of form (as far as I remember).

It's a mad risk

 

[Squiggles]

Safe to say he's under no pressure of being sacked!

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

It's a fairly similar team to the last round, except we have a few more injuries since, pretty much all not first choice, with one or two exceptions.

 

[Richey]

Is this massively different from what we normally do in league cup games? For the starting line up I mean.

The bench is pretty much us saying that we aren't too fussed about being knocked out.

 

[mike2903]

Yeah but that wasn't in the middle of an awful run of form (as far as I remember).

It's not a risk, he's written it off.

The only way we win this is a sacrifice or two and some insane levels of luck.

 

[Beamrider]

FFS.
An insult to anyone who's paid for a ticket tonight.

 

[Farkmaster]

We have binned this off, which is fine, but if we lose our next league game, it won't be. If I had to guess, that's exactly what will happen.

To be clear, this is a tournament that shouldn't exist. One of many.

 

[tombrown]

Yeah but that wasn't in the middle of an awful run of form (as far as I remember).

If I'm being cynical I'd say he has cleverly side stepped the risk of playing a strong team and losing

 

[Beamrider]

The average squad number of our bench is 82. This must be a record.

96, K. Figueroa
99, K. Gordon
94, M. Laffey
95, Wellity Lucky
65, A. Nallo
98, T. Pilling
97, C. Pinnington
41, Á. Pécsi
51, T. Koné-Doherty

 

[Best Believe It]

Im looking forward to seeing how Ramsay does.

 

[rubans]

That team can’t be real surely? That is mental. To have spent 1/2 billion and up putting out a team like that at home when we are in need of form and apparent fitness (excluding Macca)

 

[Best Believe It]

Think Ilori should have got a game though

 

[Farkmaster]

Wellity wellity wellity.

 

[Beamrider]

Think Ilori should have got a game though

What you talking 'bout Willis, he hasn't even played for the reserves...

 

[dee]

Liverpool: Woodman, Gomez, Endo, Kerkez, Mac Allister, Chiesa, Robertson, Nyoni, Ramsay, Morrison, Ngumoha.

So Ramsay RB, Robbo & Gomez CB and Kerkez sent off LB; Mac A Nyoni and Endo randomly in the middle with Morrison on the right, Rio on the left and Chiesa CF

 

[Farkmaster]

If I'm being cynical I'd say he has cleverly side stepped the risk of playing a strong team and losing

If we get rammed and then lose the next game, there's not much art to it.

 

[dee]

What you talking 'bout Willis, he hasn't even played for the reserves...

Beat me to it you bugger

 

[Buddha]

Wow…

 

[Red Mullet]

Who’s Lucky?

 

[LarryHagman]

Haven't we just spent the best part of half a billion to have a squad that can compete on all fronts?

 

[rubans]

A lot of Made up Champ Manager names.
