It's a very winnable trophy, though. 

 

Anyway, a second string that includes Kelleher, Tsimikas, Bajectic and Doak is a step up from a few we've had in the past. Quansah looks impressive too. 

[VladimirIlyich]

Just another game closer to yet another fuckin' international break!

it mattered to see my 23 year old lad crestfallen when we were getting dicked in that game and then to see him made up and buzzing as we fought back and won the shoot out.

A good description of why we bother with football despite all the shite we have to tolerate.

Oh yeah definitely winnable. My thoughts are more around the potential amount of games if ee progress in this and Europe.

Bit of a pinch point early in the new year maybe but I guess it's done and dusted by February.

Leicester are a good team under Maresca, they play some good football.

 

Think they went with close to a full side in the previous round as well.

They didn't last round, Vardy, Mavididi, Dewsbury-Hall, Casadei, Albrighton, Choudry, Winks, Justin and Faes all played.

 

Ndidi and the keeper seemed to be the big names missing (maybe Pereira?).

Won't need any forwards tonight.

Win our next 3 in Europe and we could be guaranteed top spot by 9th November, we could put out kids for the final two games and we wouldn't play the round of 16 games until 7th March, 11 days after the Carabao cup final.

 

We shouldn't be afraid of a lot of fixtures this season. The average age of the squad has reduced greatly and with it, hopefully the amount of injuries. 

[Jordy Brouwer]

So this game isn't televised and our last game wasn't televised. Fucking brilliant!

You had to go there, didn’t you? You had to jinx it…

That's a good thing, for any club with ambition.

[TheHowieLama]

Worrying about how many games you play because you are winning -- one for the shitness of modern football thread.

[Marko121]

Liverpool: Kelleher, Jones, Konate, Quansah, Tsimikas, Endo, Gravenberch, Elliott, Doak, Jota, Gakpo.

Subs: Adrian, Van Dijk, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Mac Allister, Matip, Bajcetic, Chambers.

[manwiththestick]

Who's right back, Jones?

[diamondjoe]

Curtis right back.

[Lee909]

LFCTV have Curtis Jones as captain and lining up as RB tonight

[Freddo]

Endo right back or Jones. Endo played that role before hasn't he 

 

 

[TheHowieLama]

The old diverted midfielder trick

[Anubis]

Coady. We deffo have to win this.

 

[JohnnyH]

Anyone know of Leicester have made many changes from their first choice 11?

Winks, N’didi and Dewsbury-Hall are normally starters I think.
