I would be more concerned with the England captain getting away with murder because he’s sen as mister goody two shoes, and not the first time either. 

I didn't think the Robertson one was much worse. Probably both reds.

Out of the two I thought Kane’s was worse but both reds.

Certainly ours will be. Firmino needs minutes but the rest will be second string if indeed they are not ill/injured/isolating. Eg: Origi and Phillips are already ruled out. We had 10 squad members out against Spurs. No idea if we've lost any more since

 

Can see Kelleher, Neco Williams, Kaide Gordon and a couple of debutants getting their chance at some stage. Will certainly be tough as Leicester, like Spurs, will be fresh after a couple of weeks off!

I'm sure they'll be spilling out of the Pattaya bars to watch that one.....

Can't be doing with bad officiating at times like these, another <deleted>thouse ref and VAR team. And that match should have been postponed, I don't see how one team having 2 weeks rest and the other playing 5 in 15 days with a Covid struck first 11 is even remotely considered a level playing field.

Bars will be shut well before then. I will be watching, as I would if your lot was the match chosen. Oh ... hang on a minute; you're concentrating on getting into the Europa Conference.

Fans have to prove they are vaccinated and tested before being allowed to watch a game where some players haven't been vaxxed. Barmy.

Atletico aren't having the best season either.

 

Anyway all I can say is you must be stuck for things to do in Pat if you are setting your alarm for Carabao Cup.

There aren't many worse draws than Atletico, absolute pack of godshiiiiiitees, with a <deleted> of a manger , we've played them loads in recent times and never look forward to it.

I'd almost be happy if United win, is there any chance we could meet them again before the final?

We could get any team from the quarter final stage onwards.

I won't make any bold predictions for obvious reasons. You wouldn't think we could be any worse than the 5-0. However, that is the kind of battering that leaves scars.

 

But didn't we lose 5-0 or 5-1 to City pretty close to the glory era with Fergie @mrbojangles ? I'm not talking about the one years later when Balotelli scored at OT......

Exciting night at Anfield where a youthful team came back twice from 2 goals down to beat a rested Leicester first XI on pens. The introduction of Jota, Konate and Keita in the second half helped a lot as Naby especially was very impressive. These three and AOC throughout did most to ensure the eventual victory. On to Arsenal in the semis. One leg or two? that is the next question. JK would prefer one, even though we are drawn away.

It may be bottom of the wish list but it's still a trophy.....And good experience for the youngsters, so it has it's plus points.

All the youth; bar Kelleher; were subbed at half-time. Belting game, fair play to Leicester and their big following.

That lad Daka is going to be a great replacement for Vardy. Another RB Salzburg graduate, as are Minimino and Mane and that Brighton lad Mwepu who scored a blinder at Anfield earlier this season. He played with Daka in Zambia before they both came to Europe. Haaland schooled at Salzburg too. Scouts must have season tickets there.

They needed to be after the first half. Gomez and (for once) Hendo weren't giving them much support and the experiment of Bradley playing behind Neco (who also stayed on but moved to his proper position) hadn't worked. TBH Leicester could have been further ahead at half time.  All's well that ends well though????

Game called off on Boxing Day.....Leeds have covid in their camp. Watford also have covid so their game against Wolves also postponed.

Is AfCoN shaping up to be this season's scouse excuse.... Like the 2022 version of VVD injury

[wilai]

Not at all. AfCoN was always gonna be an issue this season.  Additional league games being scheduled while it's in progress is not ideal but we have to play with the hand we are dealt. Nothing for you to worry about as your lot aren't in the running anyway.????

Thiago now ok to train from today. We may not use Fab v Leicester as he is on 4 yellows.

Are you saying he is wrong?...about the 5 subs rule as well? Personally, I think he is perfectly entitled to 'moan' about the fixture scheduling idiocy and I make him right on both counts. ????
