League Cup 2019/20 | Semi finals: Man Utd v Man City, Leicester City v Aston Villa
- Thread starter SilentWitness
- Start date
Seems strange they aren't showing any at all.
You usually see 1-2 youngster from Pep in the lineup in those first two league gamesAlways did in the League Cup at least, to be fair, apart from the finals / semis that is.
Fair enough, he's not proven much has he. The squad is too big. It's not like their bench are players that are starting every match, he's playing what he considers his best team for this match. He really needs some wins.I am slightly biased against Silva though who I think is a shite Manager.
I feel bad for this Southampton side.. can't catch a break.
Goal back for Saints. Angelino down injured now.
This really. I'd love us to pop some youngsters in too but we are in a spot where we just need a win at any opportunity to try and give us confidence. The West Ham game did that and we were fine in the Brighton game until the VAR nonsense which led to the PTSD of previous weeks to haunt us. Getting a win tonight was vital. If he lost again he'd be on the thinnest piece of string.
Prediction: We will win this or get to the final.
If we win it we will get relegated.
If we win it we will get relegated.
Some bench we’ve got there.
Terrible team from Liverpool. They really do not go for the cups. They still have a bit loser mentality even if they won the CL.
Cool to see Brewster get a start. Another Chelsea product of course.
Terrible Bench as well.
They tried going for it the first few years under Klopp though.
He probably wants out of the cup to focus on the league. Win win for him, if Liverpool win, he'll get lauded for playing the kids, if they don't, nobody will care after one week as they played the kids + he'll be able to focus on the league in January.

Liverpool lineup 
On paper, Arsenal should beat that Liverpool...would be hilarious and typical of them if they don't
Do you think he should be playing VVD, TAA, Salah, Mane, Firmino etc?
This is the least important competition of the 4 regular ones. It would be madness to risk our top players in the early rounds of this and if one got injured he would be slaughtered.
Why does this cup still exist? This is incredibly annoying.

Think that Pool team can still beat Arsenal, defence is a bit poor but Arsenal's defence is also terrible. Pool midfield is better as well. Brewster and Elliot both big talents but probably a bit out their depth v a decent prem side.
Wolves's lineup is terrible. No idea why they don't take this seriously, they won't make Europe this season and they won't get relegated.

Exactly, they're not trying to win the quadruple, why should they care about this competition ? Klopp is doing the sensible thing and really want to bring a league title to the club after winning the CL.
Maybe play 1 or 2 of them or at least have them on the bench. I guess you do not have the deepest squad though. Klopp used to rotate his squad more, but this and last season he plays the attackers in every game.
I understand that he wants to win the league, but should go with a stronger side than this against Arsenal.
I've seen our youngsters results over the last few years. We're getting beat.
How dare they, talking while song is played.
Yeah there is a big drop off from our first choice to squad players. So when he gets a chance to rest first teamers I’m happy he does that. We also had quite a lot of players who played in the WC last summer then the Copa America or AFCON this summer. It’s been a fairly relentless schedule for those players.
I wish the LC and FAC meant as much today as they did 20 or 30 years ago but they just don’t. Money in the PL and CL has demoted them to second class comps. We won this 4 years on the trot in the early 80s - I think it’s the only time any team in England has won the same comp 4 times running. Great times but it’s a different game today.
Bad ebening.
Mustafi at it again
They've been playing EL since July and have had games non-stop since the league started. Can't really fault them for not taking it seriously this year.
His apology afterwardsMustafi at it again
Ze German scores for Klopp.
Arsenal...
Good goal by Mustafi
Mustafi is an abomination.
The absolute state of him, game after game.

I can understand Liverpool or City playing b teams in league cup. But Arsenal? Why? It is your only chance to win something. Same goes for us and other clubs
Maybe playing the B team is enough for pool against Arsenal right now.
AFTV tonight if it stays like this...
Should rest in the league though, their league games are basically meaningless for the rest of the season. Won't happen as theres more money in the league but as a fan that's what I would rather.
Arsenal should have signed Smalling when they had the chance.
Emery won't last the season.
Should be 2 that was lovely from Lallana
