You'd probably take it more seriously, but I think Klopp's halftime changes indicate he's taking the competition more seriously than we'd have thought. The way I think the club will see it now is it's 3 matches away from winning a trophy. Sure it's not as great of a trophy as literally any of the other ones we're trying to win this season - but it's still a trophy. Out of the 3 other sides in the tournament left, I think the squad's best suited to take you on over the rest - I think Chelsea are one of the harder sides in the country to get wins against, even if they're a bit out of form and struggling to find the net consistently. Spurs with Conte are a bit of a different animal to how they've been recently - and honestly, I hate when we're up against Conte's sides. He's a good manager at making his sides irritating to play against. I think Arsenal are a good squad and can definitely beat us over two legs. But I also think we've got a strong squad and can beat you over two legs as well. I doubt Koumetio plays in the semi and I think he's simply just not ready for football against premier league quality teams yet - looked like a deer in the headlights in that first half and Konate was miles better (which I think you'd expect of a CB that cost that much money).

Nothing to do with revenge I'm sure the players that played in that CL final would be extra up for the possibility at winning a final against the side that beat them the last time they met in a final, though.

Genuinely don’t think they would. There is no comparison to a CL final. This would be just another final. Can’t imagine any element of revenge would play a part.

Its fairly even I think. To be honest any of the teams left could win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ Posted December 23, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted December 23, 2021 Embarrassing and I'm absolutely furious. We will never get a better chance to win at Anfield and we cave in with some of the most inexplicable game management I've seen in a long time. I've never seen a more beatable Liverpool XI. Where the fuck are the balls in this team? Time and time again we just collapse pathetically and I'm really fed up of it now. We seriously place no value on the mental side of the game at all anymore and it's utterly infuriating. Anyway - our fans only sing those daft songs because of the reaction it gets every time without fail. There's a reason it isn't sung against others where it could be just as applicable.

Administrator Stan Posted December 23, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted December 23, 2021 Almost gets worse each time you see it. Ref had a better view of it than I first thought. Liverpool down to 10 changes the whole complexion of the game... Morton needs to reign that shit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artful Dodger Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Could see the benefit Leicester had for their long rest in the fist half. Absolute farce that some clubs have benefitted so much. Spurs have had an uptick too. Would imagine Manchester United will have a similar bounce. Cynicism at its most blatant.

Should never had taken Dewsbury-Hall off. Shouldn't have brought on Bertrand. Going defensive too early invited pressure and that mindset killed us.

Waylander Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I thought we were somewhat fortunate yesterday not to be behind in the first half. We were toothless upfront with the youngsters and vulnerable on the counter and Brentford threatened to open us up with Kepa making at least two good saves. With the introduction of the subs Brentford imploded a bit the defender scoring an own goal was not under pressure and Pulisic's run across the box earning the penalty after the keeper was late. A cracking atmosphere in the London derby and now for the old grudge match with Spurs. With the added bonus of Conte the second of the Chelsea managers in the last decade to win the league with Chelsea now managing them. Too close to call In the other semi, Arsenal are having a revival though will Liverpool be too much for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these things have happened too many times to be considered a coincidence. He falls short that bit too often for it to be considered bad luck. It's his undoing. He needs to get more ruthless in games. Why did he stop attacking? Even with Konate on your defence was still very attackable. I think we ought to have scored 5 in the circumstances. The Bertrand/KDH sub was absolutely ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
