Current cup holders at home: just hope we don’t play a complete B team, too.

Baffling that he's been omitted so far in the competition. Maybe him and the manager have had a punch up

This is my thought as well
I think I'm right in saying, that in the rounds so far, we've made 11 changes and 8 changes. I mean no disrespect, but I don't think a Webster, Igor, Moder type side is getting us through this round. We should go strong. Just rest Veltman and Dunk and go full on PL for the rest. Then who knows we might get through and we might draw, say Brentford, then some of the more fringe players might come back in. But I think we're past the stage where players who wouldn't normally make the matchday squad should be playing. Squad harmony is now secondary. Let's win a trophy

Personally I think Liverpool are the best team in the country and will win the league.
But their fixture pile up gives us a chance
What we have to hope for is that 3 or 4 of their players go down in the coming weeks. They will have no choice but to protect what remains for the bigger trophies

Immediately following an international break. There were some strange results that weekend and on the whole the 'bigger' teams were below par (including us).yet they just lost at home to Forest with a full strength team out
I've held this opinion for a while - you're better off playing one of the big 6 immediately after an international break.
He’s cup-tied, and you know it!

I guess they won’t match the Arsenal Invincible then.yet they just lost at home to Forest with a full strength team out
I think Liverpool look like the best team.
City will of course be good, but will be docked points (separate threads are available for detailed discussion)
Arsenal, I think aren’t all that. Grimly hanging on most weeks isn’t the action of a team with a champion mentality. They’ll finish below Chelsea, who have seriously put it together and I think will push Liverpool hardest.
Nobody else anywhere near

OK, maybe Rutter is cup tied. But that doesn't explain why Georginio isn't getting picked in these games and I for one smell a conspiracy

Of course, unlike Liverpool, we don't have a midweek game in the week before or the week after.
That gives us a big advantage. If we did choose to go strong, in my view we'd be slight favourites

I think we will go very close to full strength
I'm guessing Ferguson for Welbeck as Welbeck won't play 3 games in a week.
I'm expecting Steele for Bart (hope not if I'm honest)
Maybe Ferdi for Velts
Pedro will start if fit
But I think that will be about it
We can win this, I don't see Liverpool prioritising this one. It'll likely be a sell out too as it's half term week.

7 games in 21 days for the Reds, including European trips. Definitely not a draw I wanted for either teams. I would say that the bench the Reds had last night was far better than last season so baring a lot of injuries they should be competitive in all competitions. The home game against BHA will be the priority.

A great draw, I know a few Liverpool fans here in lyme and whilst they said we would be a tough fixture they are confident they will progress. We will have to be at or near our best but given they will be likely to make several changes we have a punchers chance at least and should be a big audience with a huger travelling Liverpool contingent.
Goes without saying.
Naa, that can't be it. This is 2024, there must be a conspiracy somewhere.
There are a lot of Liverpool fans from Steyning and in Sussex around my age, so it will be a very mixed audience
good draw and should be a good game. Weavil wynn . . .as we have done several times in recent years.
I just need to remember which lucky shirt I wore last time.
