Liverpool v Brighton FA Cup

[Nineteenx]

He’s started putting things in place to restore what he trashed from what I’m seeing and that will take games

Yeah I would never want us to actually "throw" a match but this is the least arsed I have been about an FA Cup fixture in a while - I'd hate to think a Cup run to the quarters or semis (only to not win) could cost us Champion's League participation for next season and all the stuff that comes with it (attracting players, keeping players, ability to pay higher wages, money to continue squad renewal) going forward. We need a sustained period of Champion's League presence.

It's important that we get on a run and do well in as many competitions as we can. I understand priorities but losing to Brighton would feel like another setback. Keep winning and keep the momentum going.

Probably because you haven't paid through the nose for a ticket.

I can tell you now ... Slot is fucking toast if he pulls the same shyte he did v Palace.

Full week off after this full strength side with Szobo and Chiesa the only changes and a win required

[Steveo]

It’s the FA Cup - players want to win trophies (the daft glory hunters ) and even more strangely and amazingly fans want to see their team lift the trophies and celebrate the success.

Yep - Dom straight back in - Kerkez too and Jones… Chiesa should get cup minutes.

Win this- and it’s 4 wins from lifting the cup..

[Nineteenx]

No Kerkez thank you, Robbo’s so much better

2 corners Antony Gordon goal and letting the runner go are just four goals he’s been at fault for

He’s not goof enough with the ball most of the time and he gets in the way when he goes forward

Robbo takes positions that help the other lads take better ones and is miles better with the ball

Posted this in the summer transfer thread too along with a lot of other information on the subject but Ramsay may also not be playing because Hughes fucked yo him getting homegrown status by sending him on loan to Scotland last season instead of a club in England or Wales

If you check my Summer Transfers thread it’s not his only major fuck up and there’s a lot of info on our Homegrown quota in there too

Pitch looking lovely - it’s freezing on Merseyside tonight, should know teams soon

Interesting. You were loitering on the forum all day. Maybe you did drive from London while browsing LFC Online. Who knows.

If you are at the ground I hope your lad enjoys the game.

I’ve been in Liverpool since 11am. Drove up to Stafford last night because of risk of snow.
