Not to far off our best team but this right here is no better than Stoke or any other mid table team in the league.  A rotten spine that'll never delivery consistently.

 

Right now we think we're a big club but it's in name only.

[ZonkoVille77]

Milner still out isn't he?

[Joe Strummer]

We'll be lucky to get nil.

[Frankenhooker]

Milner still out isn't he?

He's been training the past couple of days, tonight's probably come too soon though.

[El Rojo]

Hopefully someone will change the settings to cheat mode like they did a few minutes into the Southampton game in the last round.

[Iceman]

I think this one will be unpleasant but here's hoping we can get a result. 

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Absolutely salivating at the thought of getting our pants pulled down. Hope it's another 6-1 to Stoke.

[Jairzinho]

Does seem unlikely.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That we'll score.

[Iceman]

We'll handle Stoke like pimps and then fail to get wood for the final. You know how we do. 

[Dr. J]

So no matter what Klopp will put out most, if not all, of the same side that he himself accused of not giving 100%, and this in a cup tie?

 

Why the fuck not, then? Include the players who try but have been absolute shite the last 6 weeks. If there was ever a time to shake things up it's tonight. I'd be really disappointed with Klopp if persists with the same cunts who've show absolutely nothing to warrant their position.

like rodgers did in madrid?

[DirkDiggledinho]

Might be alone in this but I have a feeling we'll win. No pressure, everyone expecting us to lose... you know the drill. More capitulation in the league soon after though.

 

I actually think a cup might paper over the cracks for Klopp in his first season and help to motivate those he elects to keep as we approach August. Rafa was always a cup specialist, I have a feeling Jurgen might be able to engineer one or two of his own, tiding us over until he has a squad capable of competing in the Premier League.

[ZonkoVille77]

Dirk hath gone and mockered it up, be jaysus.

[magicrat]

If he goes in with the same Benteke led formation as he did on Saturday we will get hammered

Rearguard action and just hope we are still in touch for the the second leg

Hope he tries something radically different and it comes off . By radically different I mean benching Benteke and picking our paciest fit players. We neither have the fire-power or the rock solid defense to beat Stoke. Pace is our best option,

[Ipplfc]

The Stoke defence will be shitting their shorts!!

[Frankenhooker]

I'd be half tempted to throw Sinclair up top. Why the fuck not ?

[Red Phoenix]

We're gonna get Pleat.

[ZonkoVille77]

I don't want to sound negative but we're fuckin shite.

[markcd]

things are truly grim when half of the stoke team would be in our team. 

 

Fucking Stoke for fucks sake

[Chairman Meow]

We're going to get dry bummed so hard it will feel like we're a 12 year old public school boy. 

[Paco]

I'd be half tempted to throw Sinclair up top. Why the fuck not ?

hes only likely to play one if any youngsters and it ll be either smith or randall

[JermainePennant]

It's always the same with LFC, if the press are saying it's going to be a tough game beforehand the players turn up.If it's supposed to be a comfortable win most times they will bottle it, we'll play well tonight and at worst will come away with a narrow loss.

 

GJ who was constantly criticised the last few years has been one of the best attacking rbs in the prem and will be dangerous tonight, it will be interesting to see the team selection after the performances from some against West Ham.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I can't wait to see how shit we can be. Aces.

[BCM]

Im hoping to be pleasantly surprised. Time for some of these players to stand up and be counted

[Chairman Meow]

Glen Johnson is shit, he's always been shit, he's never been "good going forward" the occasional 1 shot out of 100 that actually goes in the net instead of landing somewhere in France doesn't change that. 

 

He does have a habit of scoring against former clubs though so I fully expect the shit bastard to score against us.
