Your team v West Ham (League Cup Quarter-Final)

[jr81]

What's doak done every time he's had a chance?

Nothing

He won't be doing much in the near term. Unfortunatly he requires surgery on his knee.

On a brighter note, Gravenberchs hamstring isn't too serious and should be back this week.

Jota close to a return.

Hamstring injuries….

Players have yet again done lots of the hard yards. Too many games having to come from behind - takes its toll.

We need to be better in control of the ball. Trent’s wand of a foot is great at times but - when it’s relentlessly over using the long ball- all game is going to kill us.

We need better technicians - Klopp knows it - I have said it for years - but sadly - does t look like they want to come here and run run run,

With Everton and Newcastle now out, I can't help but feel this match just got a tiny bit bigger.

Chelsea, Middlesbrough and Fulham left.

Not assuming we beat West Ham (they are excellent on their day and start games well) but if we do manage to progress, who do we want?

Some may feel that Middlesbrough is the obvious answer, but I can see logic to wanting to get Chelsea done over two legs due to our quality showing over two matches versus the lottery of a Final.

Would love nothing more than a comfortable, professional 2-0 win over West Ham but I don't foresee a simple evening whatsoever!

IF we get past the Hammers

Chelsea over 2 legs probably better than a final. None of them will be easy.

I never like to choose one in case I jinx it.

IF we get past the Hammers

Absolutely - taking nothing for granted here.

I'd go something like this:

Alisson,

TAA, Konate, Quansah, Gomez

Elliott, Mac, Jones

Doak, Nunez, Gakpo,

Then bring on the big guns if needed.

Wi' Doak 'n' Mac oot it limits oor options. Wid go wi' this lineup th' nicht

Alisson,

TAA, Konate, Quansah, Gomez

Elliott, Endo, Jones

Gakpo, Nunez, Diaz,
