Topic: The 2017/18 FA Cup 3rd Round Draw - Monday 04/12/17 19:10 on BBC2/BT Sport

[So… Howard Philips]

He isn't going to come out and say, "they're shite" is he? i'm sure he respects the cups but the lineups speak for themselves.

It would have been interesting to see what team he would have out put out on Sunday if we'd have played a PL team or a good Championship team. That would have been a real acid test in terms of rating cup progress.

[Sarge]

See the lineups in the cups vs the league... For the most part, you can see what the priority is.

Ok so fuck the Cups and just go for the League every year got ya.

[ScubaSteve]

At least with a home game the players don't have to travel far! Keep the kids playing if we get past the mighty Plymouth Argyle!!

The seats next to me where empty...same again, appreciated the leg space 

[killer-heels]

It would have been interesting to see what team he would have out put out on Sunday if we'd have played a PL team or a good Championship team. That would have been a real acid test in terms of rating cup progress.

Depends on the situation doesnt it? We are coming off the back of a tough Christmas period with two big games this week.

I think that once the league cup semi finals is complete and get past Plymouth, all subsequent FA Cup games will have a much stronger team out.

[mallin9]

Possible Anfield runout for Conor Coady?

[Lasardine]

He played a similar team vs West Ham in the cup last season

[Anfield89]

Under the same circumstances. Side would obviously be stronger if we had not been in a semi final.

[Frizzo]

I actually loved watching the kids and am glad I'll get to see at least two more games. We'll beat Plymouth.

If we can get past Wolves and get a good draw then we might have a chance and need to think about juggling or squad.

Until then it's the opposite of an inconvenience. Match time in the legs of the fringe players and the chance to watch players I otherwise don't get to.

Looking forward to it.

[SwordInYourGut]

The cups are a priority once we reach the latter stages. Watch Klopp put out the best possible team today (bar Mignolet) despite playing United in 3 days.

[ThePeetmix]

The simple reason Klopp chucked out the kids in this one is down to him probably planning to put his strongest sides out for the next two.

If we get through, then obviously the side he picks depends on the games that surround it. Probably would still play a few youngsterw but look to include a few more senior players.

No chance we go full strength against Wolves (if we progress) when it's sandwiched between the semi-final second leg and Chelsea at home.

5th round is a free week so it would be that round onwards we'd see a first eleven I think.

[leivapool]

Possible Anfield runout for Conor Coady?

My mate is a Wolves fan,  went to their boxing day game and said Coady was terrible at RB for them.  Strange you commented as we were discussing him  jsut 10 minutes ago!!

[Alan_X]

See the lineups in the cups vs the league... For the most part, you can see what the priority is.

No - you can see what the nature of the competition is and also the quality of the opposition at each round. If we had Plymouth Argyle's current team in a League game and an important Cup game against top level opposition he might play a load of kids.

Except of course, a draw in the league is not the same as a draw in the Cup. A draw in the 3rd round of the FA Cup means a replay. A draw in the league means two dropped points.

And a poor result in the first leg of a semi-final means a far harder game in the home leg.

So...

Given the state of the first eleven after the Sunderland game and the following three games how do you make the best use of the all of the players available?

You play kids in the FA Cup - against a League 2 team with the possibility of having to go to a replay after the next two games.

That allows you to rest the first eleven for a Cup semi-final... A CUP semi-final... a C-U-P S-E-M-I-F-I-N-A-L away to  Premier league opposition.

And then we have a Premier League gaem against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

He prioritised a semi-final in one cup over a 3rd round tie in another.

There's no way Klopp should have played a (knackered) first eleven against Plymouth and it just shows intelligence rather than 'disrespect' or that he doesn't value the Cups. I could have sworn I went to two Cup finals last year in Klopp's first season but maybe I imagined it.

I think I was annoyed at the draw immediately after the whistle and I had gained the above perspective by the time I had made it to Sam Dodds Bar.

Hardly played this season, playing him RB might have something to do with it.

No shit. Well said!

We all want to see and assess the current crop of youngsters but some complain when they are not played in games where they have a chance to shine. Pointless have a good crop of youngsters unless they are tested under real playing conditions.

Everton fans have been complaining for a while that Pizza Head doesn't play youngsters - didn't stop them laughing when our youngsters were held to a draw in a competitive game against seasoned pros.

Yes  but its a trophy. Once we get the 2 league cup ties done and dusted then the load with the FA Cup isnt that high. If we get past Plymouth then we should be looking to play much stronger sides in the FA Cup.

They can laugh all they want, but we're still in the hat and they're not. Klopp took a very justifiable calculated risk and while it didn't pay off, it didn't backfire either.

If we get past Plymouth then we should be looking to play much stronger sides in the FA Cup.

Not when we have the second leg of the semi-final three days prior to the fourth round and Chelsea at home three days later.

[Suareznumber7]

I'd play the same team in the replay with Plymouth as well as the next round against Wolves.  That team that was put out against Plymouth is good enough to be both teams.

Exactly this for me....happy to see the younger reds and see what they're made of!

[newterp]

Do we have a rough time/date for the replay of the Plymouth game?

[Chakan]

Do we have a rough time/date for the replay of the Plymouth game?

Wednesday the 18th, probably same time as before.

[Solomon Grundy]

Wednesday the 18th, probably same time as before.

It definitely won't be played at the same time as the first game. That's for sure mate.

[newterp]

It definitely won't be played at the same time as the first game. That's for sure mate.

right - it would need to be a night game correct?

[Chakan]

It definitely won't be played at the same time as the first game. That's for sure mate.

Ahhh true probably not considering it was morning/afternoon.

[newterp]

Wednesday the 18th, probably same time as before.

thanks

[4pool]

If i'm Jurgen I would play the same 11 v Plymouth at theirs.

From a selfish point of view, really hope we're not televise again. Just wanna go the game on a satD 3pm

We're on saturday lunchtime tv - just got the 12.30pm slot.

Really wish they wouldn't put us on TV until we actually gave enough of a shit to pick most of the front line players.  We're fine with some dodgy internet stream from BEinSport until, say, the quarter finals.

Just to clarify in case you were wondering (as I was) it's 'AFC Bournemouth' which is why they are ball Number 1...

[ManiacKop]

I used to love cup draw day as a kid!
Mansfield away would be good.

How relevant is that given AFC Wimbledon are 53, Coventry 64?

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Think they must have numbered them before todays fixtures then just added todays winners (or replays) on at the end.

[Tjfruits]

Let’s have an away with a huge allocation

[dudleyred]

How relevant is that given AFC Wimbledon are 53, Coventry 64?

Premier league and championship numbers 1-44, beyond that not a clue
