[Bjornebye]

I would really like us to win this one. 

[Anubis]

Get in. Get the three points. Cripple Cummings. Get out.

[Tony Moanero]

Cummings is a whopper.

Me too

If Williams, Hoever,Jones and Elliott are playing we’ll win. 

[aws]

I know we won't but I'd still like us to put a few of our hardly used seniors in the side.  If we can get through this round we can start using the Cup to rotate because the League should be behind the slightest doubt by then. 

[Pidge]

Adrian (please...)

Neco

Hoever

VDB/Boyes

Gallacher

Lewis

Chirivella

Jones

Larouci

Hardy

Elliot

 

Still a bit sad that Glatzel's missed all these opportunities.

Boyes and Gallacher both played 90 minutes this afternoon; I'm not expecting either of them to start. I've no idea if Larouci is fit, or if Millar will be risked. Ideally Lewis will not start at left-back.

[Harry Squatter]

If Salah played he would get the 11 he needs to get to 100

Youthfulness. Effervescence. Resiliance. Magic of the cup. Assuredness.

 

I don't ask for much.

 

The first team don't play again until Norwich away on the 15th, so it's not unreasonable to think that the few first-team squad members who need to shake off the cobwebs after various injury absences could benefit from being involved against Shrewsbury (at least from the bench) instead of sitting it out with the others who will benefit from the period of rest after an intense couple of months. It didn't quite work out because the likes of Big Bird and Fab looked so rusty, but they've had more training (and games, in Fab's case) since then so should be much sharper than they were last weekend.

 

Critchley will have learned lessons from the League Cup defeat at Villa when we used academy players, so he'll want to demonstrate that I'm sure. However good they might be, these youngsters would still benefit from having a few experienced players involved, just as they did when we beat MK Dons, Arsenal and the Blooshite in the domestic cups with youthful line-ups featuring a smattering of first-teamers.

As I see it, Jurgen's made his pitch. No first team squad players are going to play in the replay. The only way I see anything changing is if the likes of Adrian, Matip, Lovren, Lallana, Minamino, Origi and Fabinho ask to be involved in the game.

[Creator Supreme]

0-12

[Guest]

We'll get snotted. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Time to clean up the Slops.

 

Just get them beat, Baby Reds.

[Bjornebye]

I started this thread. If I don't get the backing then fuck you. Get behind us. Lube up. 

 

Were going in. 

[VladimirIlyich]

I'd forgotten all about this game and was looking ahead to the CL midweek games instead. Hope we win but fuck the FA and their competition which they've demeaned and allowed the PL to overshadow like the pussies they are. 4-1 to the reds.

[s(k)aturation]

 

I hope 50,000 turn up.

[Lee909]

I'm a little disappointed we aren't trying to win this. I get what Klopp is doing and you've got to back him on it. But with the game being Tuesday I think it's a shame he's not said to a few of the fringe players and those coming back from injury that they'll be part of the squad. With the league being as it is he could easily give them a week of as needed there

 

Matip and Lovren, Lallana, Origi and Minamino to supplement the u23 would have given them so gane time they need

[Bjornebye]

I hope Klopp pretend not to be arsed then as soon as the team sheets come out he appears and shows his arse to the ref.

I hope it was all an eleborate ruse to lull Shrewsbury into a false sense of security before sending out the first team to deliver the most brutal bastard cunting the FA cup has ever seen

According to the offal, it's sold out with just a few L postcode ticket sales available.

How is this not in TV?

FA blocked BT Sport's attempt to show it because BBC and BT are already showing a replay each. So much for helping small clubs get more money.

[sir roger]

Surprised that Gooseberry are 85/40 to win , against our U21's
