[Albion] EFL / Carabao Cup Fourth Round draw [Liverpool at home]

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Naa, that can't be it. This is 2024, there must be a conspiracy somewhere.

I for one certainly don't think we should be dismissing the idea of involvement by the lizard people out of hand

Sod’s Law it’s Liverpool. Just bought match and train tickets for the PL fixture three days later at Anfield. Oh well, an evening trek from Southampton then - just hope we get six points for both games.

I think I prefer it to be a 'team like Liverpool' than another '10 men in their own penalty area' team. After the last 2 games I'm bored of that.

 

[LamieRobertson]

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

…despite the changes for Wolves there was only one player starting who wasn’t in the matchday squad for Forest and only three different when comparing squads….i think we can safely say the competition is being taken seriously

should be a big audience with a huger travelling Liverpool contingent.

Does coming from Eastbourne count as travelling?

You beat me to it. All the Sussex, Kent and Surrey LFC plastics no doubt let out a little excited scream of delight at that draw. I'm fully expecting WhatsApps from a couple I know in the next few days. My answer will be a lie - "no I can't get guest tickets".

I hope the likes of Druda, O'Riley and maybe even March might be involved in the squad by then. Oh and Pedro is fit.

…wasn’t that the game where people were criticised for applauding Gerrard as he warmed up (as a sub)..Carling Cup?

Yeah, then we booed him when he got the ball....quite funny really. I'm sure thats the game that Bellamy cracked one against the post with such ferocity, it's probably still shaking

Is there anything the algorithm doesn't have a hand in?

I think it will be interesting how they do shape up as they face Arsenal the Sunday before and us obviously the Saturday after, so a tough game for them before facing us midweek. Might be a good opportunity to progress even with the 2nd team.

I think the Eastbourne Scouse population from Pevensey/langney road area has seriously diminished.

Likewise..I always get them crawling out the woodwork for tickets too, usually followed by the "Brightons my second team, I always look out for their results" ..I tell them to, f**k off and try the Liverpool website.

"live round the corner" "we support our local team"

Its going to be the game for those sort of songs

 

[Jeremiah]

Early days but i'm predicting an Albion win on penalties (with super Jason Steele the Amex hero) meaning we join -

Brentford, Southampton, Spurs, Newcastle, Man U , Arsenal and Palace in the last 8.

Super times to be a Seagull

How many tiers do we have?

2 upper tiers

Got to swallow his pride and give Rutter a run out in this one.

Read the thread, he’s cup-tied.

 

[crodonilson]

Liverpool enjoy fabulous and nationwide support so sure to be plenty of them in home sections for this one.

2 upper tiers

Do we, I would argue we have a North Stand shelf which is an upper tier as well

You’d be being very pedantic there it’s also not on the north - the north west corner - apart from that I make you right
