[COC] Stoke (H): The Match

[Montana]

Their line up looks look very attacking, probably a bit too much and we need to take advantage early on.

First goal crucial and we need to get it.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on the legendary cup atmosphere at Anfield: "Everybody has told me it is special. But I have to see it, smell it and experience it. I'll have to see after the game. Stoke have brought all their tall players so it seems to be a heading festival.

So just the 2 subs from the weekend then. One forced & one tactical.

I hope we're in for an easier match as fans than the weekends dramatics.

Since we're looking at an aerial assault from Stoke, we have to press them hard and be aggressive in winning the second balls. Otherwise, it could be quite a shafting if we defend like we did against Norwich.

Pleased to see Flanno back and good to see Lovren back on the bench.

I really hope Flanno has a good game. We've missed the lad.
