As you can see they're only turning up for the big teams. So we should be ok.

[Fosterbloke]

Tex must be proper **** if he can't get a game ahead of these lazy *******s.

[The_weatherman]

With the Exeter game, is that four away games in what 12 days? It's a bit of a tough run we are in, hope we rest as many as we can against Exeter and bring back as many loanee's as we can could have used some them during the last few day, imagine if we had Markovic and Wisomd/Ilori, they'd be getting some gametime recently IMO.

Want us to win this thing since we're in the semi.

[Fosterbloke]

There's still Tex to make an appearance. He's looked good when he's on so surely there's room of him somewhere? What about Kent?

[Chris]

Stoke havent even sold out yet, laughable. Might aswell have just given us the whole stand like they used to and did for others early in the cup, there will just be some of ours in their end anyway!

Mingolet
Clyne Lovren Sakho Moreno

...so no Sturridge or Henderson for the first leg. Right now I'd take a draw at Britannia and a close 1-0 win at home.

I am actually looking forward to this game... I worry about our travel schedule every fixture has been north .. then south then north then south .. thats got to take its toll ... this will be a game for the press for sure ...give Shaqiri time on the ball and he will single handedly kill you .. the key to this game will be ... wait for it ... Glen ****ing Johnson ... he mainly feeds the ball to Shaqri .. press him, steal the ball of him .. hassle him and not only do you reduce their main threat dramatically but also he'll give you at least one or two opportunities to score in a game. I would Play Benteke and Coutinho on him at all times, send the Diags into him with Benteke stand on his toes and Phil picking up the 2nd balls .. Our Goal is Simple ... WE MUST BREAK THE GLEN JOHNSON

[Fosterbloke]

Glen has looked impressive for Stoke. What ever happened to him is evidence that Liverpool seems to destroy players. Only genuinely world class players seem to thrive.
