Nahh. Not having that. I would still have preferred to win this.
League Cup 2019/20 | Semi finals: Man Utd v Man City, Leicester City v Aston Villa
- Thread starter SilentWitness
- Start date
Was looking forward to knocking a few past Liverpool which we have done but can't get into this at all, just feels very artificial.
Liverpool kids did well for first 20 minutes but inevitably lost a bit of belief when we start scoring. They've still kept going though.
Will certainly look a very odd scoreline in the books when people forget how we got to this point in ten years time.

5-0 Wesley
We're playing again in 20 hours from now. Crazy.
The media love in for Liverpool is something else this year.
Get slapped 5-0 and somehow are the moral victors in all of this. I don’t remember the same love in when we had to play 2 games in two days.
At very least Klopp should have been there tonight

Watched that game tonight on Bein sports. Not sure who was on the commentary but he was ridiculously biased about Liverpool and how well their U23 team played. Well hello it was a 5-0 defeat against Villa's B team and they took the foot off the pedal 2nd half as the game was won by half time.
Against astana some.of our youngsters who are rated highly did do well. These guys looked out of sorts.
Thought it was just me. He said this liverpool team deserved at least 3 goals
You can certainly tell you lot have been suffering this season, our U-23's lose and you'd think we had lost the league with the excitement on here...
Watched the whole match, terrible game, wish I hadn't. Fair play to villa, that was their cup final.

Well look if your in the mix for the league and CL this gets dropped. Its just obvious that is the way it would go.
Fergie did win the league cup in 2006 and 2009, 2010 when were were top dogs. And we always took FA cup seriously so will not say he did not give a shit.

Jesus 5-0. How humiliating.
I'm not talking about the FA cup.
He played the kids more often than not in the league cup. Thats not a debate.
But he also took it seriously more often than not. He was obsessed with winning trophies and one cannot deny that. He openly said winning the 2006 league cup gave them a great belief to win more. Klopp so far has totally devalued both the cup competitions.
A quote so iconic I put it as my location years ago
They just don't give a feck and rightly so.
Nah. You're wrong.
Those youngsters. So ruddy, bloody brave.
Brave and fantastic. Getting thumped 5-0 to Villa.
How dare Villa have the audacity to score five against these fine, outstanding, brave young men.
Who cares? No one would give him credit for winning the Carling Cup.
You did not bother to read the conversation. I didn't say winning the league cup would make him a even better manager, but it is strange how little he values the domestic competition is strange.
So according to Skysports they were impressive even though they conceded 5 goals.
Is that Bible Police?
Liverpool are the only team in English football who can get spanked 5-0 & still get mercilessly wan##d off by the media.
It’s impressive
It’s impressive
Imagine if they conceded 10? Spirit of Shanks and Bigfoot
Media love in is something else. Now I'm reading Klopp sent them an inspirational message at HT and that's why they conceded only one goal in the 2nd half.
Yh I agree both are pointless and clearly both there purely for money making purposes - I guess I'm speaking from the perspective of the Premier League in that it's just unnecessary games and also dilutes the importance of the FA cup.
PL, FA and Comm shield (which is only a one off game rather than a full competition so is fine and no one takes it too seriously) should be the domestic trophies.
CL, EL and Supercup should be the continental ones.
According to the PL fixture list Liverpool don’t have a game until the 27th
Yes, because of the Club World Cup.
They have a CWC game today and on Saturday, then they play Leicester boxing day.
You should probably stop reading such crap sources then! Are you sure you weren't just looking for the craziest thing said online or by a random fan in a call-in show so that you can then ascribe that opinion to "The Media"?
So Skysports isn't media?
I doubt there are actual media saying that the HT message is the reason we only conceded one more goal. If so, they're not worth paying attention too, including Sky.
Most of the reviews I've read are quite honest - most of our youngsters did indeed impress (but were easily overpowered by Villa).
That was regarding my previous post before the one about the message.
