This. Will be a light to the “my uncle was from Liverpool, honest” moth. Even requiring purchase history won’t help as the ground seems full of them every time we play. Far too many who grew up in the 70s and 80s supporting a winning team instead of a local team.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Around which date would this be played?

 

[Gazwag]

Yeah, but

capacity was only about 22000 in those days.

Almost 22k there so still pretty much a sell out then

Around which date would this be played?

I’m going for Tuesday 29th October don’t think it will be the Wednesday

 

[bluenitsuj]

Boring tie

Liverpool are away to Arsenal on Sunday 27th, I don't think they will be keen to play 2 day later.

Just seen that after noticing think it will be the weds now

 

[METALMICKY]

I'm assuming we'll have the upper tiers open from the get go? Price it right and the place should be rocking!

 

[JBizzle]

Not really related to us, but West Ham fans must be delighted that they hounded out David Moyes and replaced him with a worse, European version of David Moyes.

hmmmm true, I know one of those who is a season ticket holder.....

Although in fairness, he has brought his children up as Brighton fans and I think his love for Liverpool has waned somewhat in the past few seasons.

That I can suffer, those that still cling to some distant relative that drove through Liverpool in 60s or a glory hunter wind my gears more.

Yes we might not be thrilled about the draw but I bet Liverpool are more pissed off. Tough away game with a bit of travel in amongst a group of really tough fixtures domestically and in Europe all scheduled closely together.

20/10 - home to Chelsea
23/10 - away to Leipzig
27/10 - away to Arsenal
30/10 - away to Brighton
02/11 - home to Brighton
05/11 - away to Leverkusen
09/11 - home to Villa

That is nasty. We’ve got a really good chance.

 

[chickens]

Not getting some of the doom and gloom about this fixture. Looks promising to me. If we want European football we’ve got to back ourselves to be able to compete in fixtures like this.

 

[Peppermint Tea]

Why are they favourites? Are they f***

They will be favourites with the bookies, mate.

 

[Mustafa II]

That's that then, concentrate on the league.

I swear a lot of our fans still haven't accepted that we're a good side these days.

It's not like the old days where we'd be just enjoying the day out against a big club.

Liverpool at home is a perfectly winnable tie for us. In fact, I quite fancy us to win this one.

I feel you are being somewhat optimistic, but do agree with your comment about fans automatically thinking that we will be underdogs, after so many years in the doldrums. Perhaps it is understandable, but we do have a good chance. When we first went into the PL, I dreaded matches against the so -called top 6, as the result was mostly quite predictable, but no longer.

 

[trueblue]

I doubt Liverpool are delighted with the draw either. Away trip and, outside a couple of clubs, one of the most dangerous opponents in the competition.

I quite agree, Liverpool won't put out their best XI, and we're a side on the up. Strange attitude from some on here.

Rutter HAS to start though
