It's 2 legs though right, so that's worse than one game, against a stronger team.

by Nishankly Wed Dec 17, 2014 10:04 pm

Doesnt matter, We'd have to beat Chelsea anyway to win this. So we'll get 180 mins. Lets see.

ok, over two legs will be difficult, but if Sturridge is back, it will be fun to see everyone surrendering to SAS :coffee:

by McAgger Wed Dec 17, 2014 10:16 pm

Well whoever goes through this semifinal will win the whole thing. We beat City in the semi 3 years ago.

But was really hoping for Sheffield or Spurs. Shit draw regardless.

Chelsea is no easy but we can do it, just need Stdge back and fit !!

by Art Morte Wed Dec 17, 2014 10:21 pm

I wouldn't have minded Chelsea at all if it was a one-game semi. But it would have been so much easier if we got either Tottenham or Sheffield over a two-legged semi. Anyway, most likely the most deserving team will go to the final, so I'm ok with it. Just need to be on top of our game.

There's no way Mourinho will want us to win this. Just hope he has some sort of CL schedule/important EPL game somewhere inbetween. :facepalm:

Swansea (EPL/A) on 17th, Millwall/Bradford (FAC/H) on 24th and City (EPL/H) on 31st.

Got Carlisle at Anfield. Lowest league club available. Great draw.

Kick could you update the title por favor.

by Kick Wed Aug 26, 2015 5:12 am

Done.

by Art Morte Wed Aug 26, 2015 6:37 am

A good draw. Also, quite a few Prem sides facing each other, which is always nice.

by Helmer Wed Aug 26, 2015 8:55 am

Good draw ! The squad depth will be used here. Chance for Ings and Origi to show their mettle. When is the game btw?

by iftikhar Wed Aug 26, 2015 12:27 pm

I think it was a very generous draw and schedule for us. The game (September 22) is sandwiched between home games against Norwich and Aston Villa.

Guys stop re using old threads and renaming them it doesn't make sense.

on topic good draw.

Quarter-Finals Draw

Middlesbrough v Everton
Southampton v Liverpool hmm

Stoke City v Sheffield Wednesday
Manchester City v Hull City

Quarter-Final ties are to be played during the week commencing 30th November 2015.

by Art Morte Thu Oct 29, 2015 8:04 am

Southampton away is a tough one, I'd rather have taken Everton away or maybe even City away, because I don't like the chance of facing City in a two-legged semi-final.

by Red Alert Thu Oct 29, 2015 8:45 am

Winnable competition for Klopp to bring in silverware. Will be interesting to see how seriously we take it in the next round with us looking like we are prioritising in Europa / the league.

Arsenal, Chelsea and United all out in the last round.

I guess most of the key injured players will be back (or may be not) in a month's time. So we will be able to field a stronger side for the coming rounds. But as you said, I would rather face City in the (one-off) final than in the (two-legged) SF.

by Red Alert Thu Oct 29, 2015 9:35 am

Would rather the two legged to be honest.

City aren't the best at Anfield. And a two legged guarantees we play at home.

by iftikhar Thu Oct 29, 2015 1:54 pm

I'm predicting/dreading Everton in SF and City in Final. But I also think, even then we can win it. But one step at a time, lets take care of the Saints first.

by Curtinho Thu Oct 29, 2015 2:02 pm

Feels a lot like last season where it was a very winnable competition with Chelsea as the only realistic team that would be favourites over us.

City would be favourites over us this year. Hope if we can get that far we don't see them until the finals.
