We can’t even do that with senior players. We have no hope with youngsters.
FA Cup 2023/24
- Thread starter IRN-BRUno
- Start date
Just saw their score. Feck me. It'll be beyond embarrassing if we lose to their U21s.
So it's United, and war.
From all the youngsters, Bradley and Quensah aside, Danns certainly looks like a serious prospect. Hard to tell with the others like McConnell or Clark,who have more difficult positions in midfield to assess.
Any idea what your team's going to be like by then? Most big names back?
He looks decent based on a couple of appearances, but I'm always wary of over-hyping young players based off of a couple of appearances. So many drift off into obscurity after a decent cameo or two.
When is it?
Mid March. Little over two weeks.
How shite are Southampton that they lost 3-0 to a 3rd string Liverpool line up.
So no doubt Southampton starting average age was less than Liverpool's, and their finishing average was younger too?
16th or 17th of March
I think he has one of the most dangeous profile in youth players, a late growth spurt. That usually means until 16/17 he got by with his skills rather than his physicality. Now you have the technique and skills of a small player in a big body.
All that being said if United can´t do some iteration of this Liverpool team at home, they should just end themselves.
Ok. I'd expect Salah, Nunez, Szoboszlai, Endo and Gravenberch to be available by then. Assuming we don't get any other injuries, TAA, Alisson, Jones (maybe) & Jota would be major absences.
Maybe something like this: Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Gomez/Robertson; Endo, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Nunez, Diaz.
Really does depend if anyone else gets injured before then but Alisson, TAA, Jota & Jones will probably miss out. Matip, Bajcetic & Thiago are longer term but I don't count any of them. We've been without them for ages.
They’ll have players back for us won’t they?
Good win that but no way do we have it that way at OT. Can see another closer game than many predict.
Imagine the scenes if Liverpool's chances of the quad are ended by their arch rivals at Old Trafford.
It's not 'the quad', it's 'a quad'. Europe League is in that four we're trying for.
It'd be too early in the season. It won't seem so momentous. Would be nice for Klopp to have his final FA cup match at Old Trafford though.
Highlight of your season likely.
It really wont, beating you in the League and ending your title hopes would be much bigger.
Guessing Hojlund won't be back for the cup tie?
He is currently shown as expected back 16th of March which is the weekend we play the cup tie.
Nice to be in quarterfinal again but can't see us winning it. We'd have to beat Liverpool and then City at some point, same City that beat us last season in the final. So beating both Liverpool and City would be difficult even if we were having good season.
If Klopp goes young against united and manages a win at Old Trafford the meltdown would be epic. There’s no way he would do that would he?
He’ll be back probably week before but we will need much more than just a fit Hojlund to beat Liverpool?
There is no guarentee that City will beat Newcastle though
When will the dates be confirmed for the next round. Think we’ll probably play it on the 17th march.
The way Newcastle are playing now, city will destroy them.
True but Newcastle aren't great atm and it'll be at Etihad. If it was at St James's park then Newcastle's chances would grow.
15:30 Sunday 17th March
What an uninspiring QF.
Simms with a simmple chance missed.
That's some miss 
We need Coventry up next season.
Been impressed with Coventry
Aluko always sounds punch drunk. Just tries to bang in as many of the common phrases as she can. She's up there with Michael Owen in how useful their insight isn't.
Wolves are leggy from the weekend apparently.
Wolves are leggy from the weekend apparently.
Coventry 1 up, probably deserved, Wolves haven't been great.
How tedious is VAR?
City’s semi final opponents just scored… Coventry up by a goal
No way should that be handball.
Just give the goal.
Just give the goal.
