It's like having sex with a solid 6,5 - you probably won't say no if the opportunity presents itself but you won't be overly bothered if it didn't happen either.

Especially if you know it could prevent you from having sex with two of her friends who are both a 9.

Sure, you used to date 9’s. Once upon a time you were legendary for it, the guy who always left with the hottest girl. But it’s been a while now hasn’t it? Each time you go out to the club, you’re so sure that the old magic is coming back, and each night that 9 turns her nose up. Sometimes you get so close, but at the end of the night she always ends up walking out with someone else. Just last time around, you made it all the way to the taxi, but then another guy stepped in at the last minute.

So now you’re all ready, you’ve got a smart new shirt, your best aftershave on and a plush new haircut. The 9 keeps looking at you across the dance floor and everything is going just how you dreamed it. But when the last song plays, will you really be walking out with her, or will you be riding home alone yet again, wishing you hadn’t brushed off that 6.5 quite so easily?

I hate that guy (and all of the different forms he takes).

Just want to make sure - are we still talking about football? :p

But yeah, I would love to win any trophy right now but considering our start, I would rather have the 3 points.
To continue your analogy - yes the 9 has always turned her nose up but this time she has slipped her number. Do I now brush off the 6.5 because I have a date with 9 which might or might not lead to something?

This is the best answer I think.

But point taken.

Do Liverpool fans care about the Carabao cup? Phil Thompson came out saying Liverpool "need" to win a trophy this season, would this trophy shift the register at all?

Don't really care. I'd rather us be sensible & give our big players a rest for an upcoming run of games that's pretty damn difficult for any team.
 
We actually have a squad this year and will probably put out a decent side tonight. Moreno, Solanke, Sturridge, Shaqiri, Clyne, Matip etc.

First two aside, I don't disagree at all (Solanke is still a kid though, so I'm not going to be too harsh on him). I'm interested in seeing who Sarri plays. Really, it could be a compelling match for plenty of reasons.

My guess would be: Mignolet; Clyne, Matip, Lovren, Moreno; Fabinho, Milner, Keita; Mane, Sturridge, Shaqiri.

That's not a bad side to put out considering it's got eight changes from the side that started against Southampton.

Leaves out Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Gomez, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Salah and Firmino.
 
The one team that we struggle against has been knocked out. If we beat Chelsea only City, Spurs and Arsenal can be considered threats. We should take this trophy seriously so that our squad gets a tastle of winning things then hopefully add another one come May.

I got it spot on apparently.

With posts less than a minute apart? :smirk: Hmmm...

Just kidding. Pretty good team, all things considered. Hope for a good attacking game from both sides!
 
8 changes and still decently strong! With the likes of lallana Ox and origi still out aswell. Would have preferred to see Allison chances are he might have had something to do tonight. Oh well big couple games after this.

You've beaten us twice in your last 15 attempts. You wouldn't say you struggle against us? :)

Thought we'd beaten you more often than that but then I read that we haven't beaten you at Anfield since 2012.

The two wins were the 3-1 in 15/16 and the 2-1 in 16/17.

They've been mostly draw's right?
 
Interesting that our back 5 tonight was our first XI back 5 not so long ago (12 months ago to be precise). How times change (thankfully), and a good sign of depth when thats your backup defence.
 
Hard to believe our back five today with Mignolet, Clyne, Matip, Lovren, Moreno was our first choices or so about a year ago.
 
Fairly balanced game between the sides here. It just dawned on me that Lpool have gotten so much better depth-wise. For all the talk about City who have the best squad indeed of the epl lot, Pool are high up there too. For instance, I really could not say our second string team is better than theirs. I think Pool even have a better team 2 than even Chelsea.

Looking at the two sets of 11 on display today and given that both teams have about 2 first teamers each.

My choice 11 would be the following which has 7 Pool players:

Caballero
Clyne Matip Lovren Azpilicueta
Keita Milner Kovacic
Willian Sturridge Mane
​
Would love Chelsea to beat them but I don't think they'll have enough to do that.

Fingers crossed!

My point was mainly about style of play. Sarri's Chelsea will allow more chances for us than the previous versions.
 
Liverpool going out early in the cups again is at least a scant consolation.

Moreno :lol: to think he was a highly rated youngster at Sevilla.

He's fecking shite and has been the whole 5 years he's been at the club. Should have sold him for that 12 mil napoli offered and fecked him off. Really disappointed to go out tonight but i did predict we will go on to beat Southampton lose tonight and beat Chelsea on Saturday.
 
Kentonio said:
Maybe next time, eh? ;)

Can't wait for Saturday, honestly. Both teams at full strength, both teams playing attacking football, both trying to defend their loss-free start to the league.
 
Didn't deserve to go out I think but there you go... seemed like we believed our own hype a bit after going up and dominating the game.

Hopefully Hazard has used up his magic for the week. What a goal. Moreno though...
 
Is it too much of a ask to request one trophy from Pool in so many years? One trophy is all I ask for, not even the league. Is that too much?
