[Football] Carabao Cup semi-finals

[jakarta]

I hope not, extra time will be painful...

 

[Dibdab]

If Fulham manage to pull this back and win then Chelsea have pretty much won the cup which would be horrific.

 

[Acker79]

Bit late to note this, given the game is almost over, but...




However, official word is there was some congestion, but no crushing occurred.

FT: Fulham 1-1 Liverpool (Liverpool win 3-2 on agg.)

Liverpool are through to the EFL Cup Final where they will face Chelsea.

A Liverpool vs Chelsea cup final.

How exciting.

 

[Berty23]

So either caicedo or Alexis m will win after heartbreak last season. Hope it is Alexis.

Not great keeping by Leno there.

The ball took 2 or 3 deflections immediately after Diaz's shot before it reached him. If you've watched those training videos of that mesh thing they practice with, you'd know how difficult it is. It looked softer than it was. I can't blame Leno, we were second best most of the night.

Gosh - not being rude, as you're a top poster. But shouldn't you be on a Fulham Forum tonight!?

I found myself a bit torn tonight, because I still have soft spots for both Liverpool and Fulham (although the time-wasting nonsense of the last few years is eroding that). Although the consensus on here is that it is 'better' for us for Liverpool to win the cup - it would be very nice indeed to see someone else other than the usual teams win something. So I was a bit disappointed to see you lose.

Thanks @Bodian . Yes, I did peruse the Fulham equivalent to NSC (although TBH, NSC is better for non-Cottager content) first but the consensus was what I'd expected - moans about BDR, subbing Cairney for Muniz, not starting with Reed, no service for Jiminez, another Fulhamish heroic failure etc. I'd watched this thread and thought that to blame Leno for our loss was a bit harsh - he's 4th in the table for most saves this season and has saved us points so many times.
I predict we'll be out of both cups by 10pm on Saturday and can concentrate on the league (esp 2nd March!).

Any chance you can talk me through all of Alexis' heartbreaks last season?

I meant to include the word Wembley. He has one moment that was okay I guess.

As they have best chance to beat Chelsea glad Liverpool won

Liverpool just have to win this for a number of reasons.
Europe, and in particular I don’t want Chelsea in Europe again.
Chelsea were drawn at home for every f***ing round and were lucky to beat both us and Newcastle.
I can’t stand their manager, he’s a flat track bully and a prick. “Built a team from zero”, f*** off you cock.
The thought of the likes of Cucurella. Caicedo and in particular Sanchez with a trophy is horrible.
Their wanker fans will be unbearable at our place in April.
They’ve overtaken Palace for me, and I never thought I’d ever feel like that!
