Me neither, mate - but we do have some previous in this competition. Although we've won it more times than any other club, we just don't take it seriously enough any more. However, our second string is currently stronger than it's been for a long time, so it could be enough to hold its own. We'll see.
Obviously, I want us to win every game but couldn't give too much of a **** about this competition because we'll inevitably "sack it off" eventually
Seriously, 3 games in 6 days is a joke this early into the season. Players will be dropping like flies. Klopp is, once again, nailed on when he talks about the 5 subs and about player welfare. anyway, to this game...we have some good options for the front 3. Minamino, Jota, perhaps Mane will also get some game time given he was hauled off after 75 minutes or so. midfield we have a few options too...And the FB’s take care of themselves....but at CB, I’m really concerned. Matip is injured, Joe is just back from injury and vvD is playing every single game and also needs to rest. I’m actually missing Lovren
Wouldn’t be too dissimilar from the team that played against Lincoln. I imagine Jota will get a start and switch things up at CB being the only differences.
Same as last week, but maybe with Jota starting. We have so much drive in our second team that we will be too much for them unless they play their first team. Think we may concede though 4-2
Not bothered, play all the kids and squad players. Risk no one important, not even for 20mins. Batter them 7-1 Jones hat-trick, Taki with 4
So apparently Williams got some abuse online after the game v Lincoln for giving the ball away. Bit pathetic wasn’t like he was particularly bad. I imagine every player gets a bit of abuse during games but must have got a lot for it to be raised and spoken to him about
