EFL Cup Wed, 9 Nov 20:00 Liverpool vs Derby County

[El Rojo]

Another triumphant night for John Achterberg. 

[Pidge]

Dull game, but positive for a number of players. Kelleher, Bajcetic, Ramsay and Carvalho all good quality talents, but not quite there yet (Kelleher is already a prem level keeper imo, so bit harsh on him there). All more than worth their time in the first team.

 

Doak is clearly a legit exciting talent, needs a bit more exposure to the patterns of the first team to give him something to fall back on when his individual skill/pace isn't enough. Love seeing him that aggressive though.

 

Thought Clark looked tidy on the ball as well in the first half. 

 

Good to see Ox come through, even if his crossing is as brutal as ever.

Gomez should stick to doing tribute shows for mungo jerry

That’s a bit harsh. He hates winters. He’ll be much better In The Summertime, when the weather is fine and he can stretch right up and touch the sky. Probably got women on his mind.

 

 

I’ll get me coat.

Doaks will get games, certainly a massive talent. Derby keeper extremely irritating, could do with a slap. Carvalho Diablo the big disappointment for our side.

I know right? Kept saying things like ‘take a decent run up!!’

We cant have that sort of thing at these big matches. It’s blatant coaching!

[Trumo]

What is it about English goalkeepers these days? They all want to be Pickford and act like a cocky twat. The officials also stopped giving a fuck about the rules, or at least that linesman did, doing fuck all about Derby's cocky twat of a goalkeeper repeatedly leaving his line before the ball was kicked.

 

From the sounds of it, a scratch-XI struggled for cohesion and when they did get into good positions, lacked the composure and ruthlessness to make the most of it.

 

Is the next round going to be played while the World Cup is on, on in the new year?

Immediately after the World Cup, so any players who made it into the later rounds will probably be unavailable.

[Barnesey]

Heard last night the next round is before Christmas 

[El Rojo]

A fine penalty under pressure by our 'shit Andy Carroll' too. 

 

Ramsay looks huge for a 19-year-old, put in a very good performance I thought.

And so it came to pass, until the penalties, at least.

 

Highlight of the evening was a Bad Wool behind me, probably in his early 60s, calling me a selfish cunt for not lowering my scarf during YNWA, which he was filming on his phone.

 

No judge. No jury. Straight to execution.

He let the Wools know what he thought of them afterwards, too; not quite Diogo v Leicester, but satisfying nonetheless.

To be fair, for a lot of people these shit league cup games are the only ones they’ll ever get to. You could see loads filming Tsimikas taking a corner early on looking really excited. 
 

I always take a picture or two for the times when I’m scrolling back through my phone. 
 

Filming YNWA at the start is a bad one though, granted.

I’d have thrown my ‘Harvey, please give me your shirt’ sign at him.

That is ' the shitness of modern football' summed up in a sentence,or banner more accurately. Who wants a sweaty,mucus stenched,football shirt as a momento from a kid barely out of nappies?

Err,hang on,this thread has suddenly  become amazingly easy to masturbate to.

[Captain Turdseye]

I don’t mind the players giving their shirts to kids. It gives them an ace memory and a story for life. 
 

Grumpy old bastards in here. 

[aws]

What’s the point of being old if you can’t be grumpy? 

[sir roger]

Thought I saw Darwin aiming a slap at one of their players during a tussle in the box. Hope not.

4th round draw - City away.

You did. Got a short fuse that lad.

[m0e]

Heard Kelleher now has the record for most penalty shootout saves for Liverpool.

Hi Mike, do you use Head & Shoulders?

Only to head the ball!

 

I use Shower Gel or T Gel, sometimes.
