    I'd like a little cup run provided we don't play our A team at all.

    I think maybe play the second team in the next round, but by the 5th round, we could have the league sewn up. If so, I hope we go for as many trophies as possible.

    We’re probably the best team in the world right now. We should be looking to win everything! Because we haven’t won the league in so long, that’s the only priority, but it’s strange that a team would be 16 points clear, and play the kids in the cup, to prioritize the league...
    I don't tip

      It's not that strange. We're only halfway through the season. Plenty of time for bad things to happen, especially with only 12/13 senior players.

      We're always going to prioritise the league until it's mathematically sewn up, to do anything else (especially until after the fifth round) would be cocky and potentially negligent.

      But, and this isn't liverpool specific, the players need rested and rotated and the FA Cup just isn't as important as the PL and Europe anymore. Even Sheffield United rotated 11 players. So don't be surprised if we continue to go light in the FA Cup until we go out as players will need to be protected as the League/Europe games pick up pace.

        Hopefully we'll have all our injured players back so we can play more of a second team in the cup, rather than a youth team. But the priority is the Prem title, obviously.

              Spurs have no Kane and their defence is wank at the moment, reckon we will bash them after they park the two buses as per usual under Jose

                I’m not sure if Spurs have the players that are all that capable of Bus Parking though.

                The thing they will be looking for is revenge after the CL final. Are they good enough to get it though..???

                  Their keeper is ****e, defence is all over the shop, weak CM and hopefully Eriksen not playing either. Moura & Son are dangerous and Ali is in good form but we are so strong at the moment. Big few games for us.

                            Or City and Leicester will have to disappear off their end of it.

                              Incredible but in any of the other leagues Leicster/City would be top or within a few of points and not 13 behind

                                That's with having lost to us twice already too. Can't be many 2nd place sides who have already played the leaders twice
                                Football without Origi is nothing
