Topic: Liverpool v Manchester United (FA Cup) Sunday 17th

[HardworkDedication]

I think the team picks itself with the exception of whether Konate makes the match and if Klopp goes with Gomez or Robertson.

Not sure it picks itself. I think there is a valid argument that Elliott should start ahead of Szboszlai.

Any bars In Manchester that everyone is meeting up in?

The Manc Knobhead.

It's a famed Bar in Manchester, famous for it's frequenting by Mancs and Knobheads and also Manc Knobheads.

Every now and then, if you are lucky, you will also find Knobheads who are Mancs.

Thanks ya dildo!
A mate is flying over by himself from Ireland that’s the reason I’m asking.
Your a gentleman.

[JRed]

I think this will be tighter than a lot of people expect and we shouldn’t pressure the lads by saying we will win easy. 6-1 to the mighty Liverpool! Come on reds, get into these early on and they’ll shit themselves!

[Andy @ Allerton!]

More than welcome. For more exciting Manc news today see 'The Manc urgghh!' and the unfailing and enduring 'Manc wobble bellend'

Both fine establishments.

You, sir, are a nutcase :-).  Have a magical day.

Early goal will be key here these Utd players give up way to easy longer it stays 0-0 will end up being a scrappy game and they could be dangerous on the counter. Let’s just Sparta Prague them 4-0 in 10 minutes job done !

Rumour has it Tierney has a loyalty card with his own booth.

Elliott has a lot of minutes in his legs.

Is that Mick Hucknall’s place?

[Nick110581]

Really looking forward to this. It doesn’t feel as pressured as PL matches so hopefully that allows us to play our game and be brave.

Revenge is a shit word in football but on another day, we win at Anfield quite easily but didn’t get the deserved break.

To be fair if you were going to go down the revenge route I’d be looking at 1996 and 1999 rather than a 0-0 a few months ago:

Still not over either of those results.

[thejbs]

I’m watching with my Utd supporting mates. I’m hoping for a giddy 0-0 at half time before we blow them away in the second half.

[Phineus]

Not really nervous about today for some reason, we’re better team and that will show.

Think I’ll be far more nervous for league game.

I’d go Elliott over Dom, with Endo & Mac.

Front 3 picks itself and either Robbo or Gomez at LB, would go Gomez.

[DelTrotter]

Get these twatted. Think I'd prefer City in the semi too, bit awkward after a Europa game but they have Real Madrid whereas for the final they get a free midweek and we'd be exhausted after title celebrations on the sunday then Europa final and celebrations on the wednesday. Better for the final to be a stroll v Chelsea or someone.

Try this place for some working class solidarity, an organic wine and Lancashire cheese with homemade sour blackberry chutney

1996 was a shocking experience at Wembley.

1999 felt like the final nail in the coffin in terms of United getting away from us. I don’t even mean them winning the treble. Just the 2 goals injury time after our captain asking to be subbed with a slight knock

[Jookie]

I’m not sure on that. Think there’s a few decisions at centre back and both full back positions. 3rd midfielder is also open for debate. Also wouldn’t be surprised to see Gakpo start and Salah/Nunez on the bench.

[JackWard33]

Can I just shock regular readers of this column... totally chill whatever the team is
Normally you'd make an argument that progressing here is damaging for the league, which it is, but the draw makes that redundant - vs United is a game our club always has to fly into

Only hope is that Elliot starts - he deserves to own the jersey now and others have to try and take it off him, he's been out best AM in the second half of the season

He's been going strong recently, I think he will go strong again I just can't see Nunez and Salah on the bench.

[Dr. Beaker]

Just hope the ref does the decent thing and goes in the dressing room before the game to give us his definition of the rules. He could also describe to us the types of goals he feels deserve to decide the game.

Yeah, we need to know if a bit of Kung Fu is allowed.

[Qston]

Whatever other teams may think, this is it. This is the true rivalry. Let's batter them

[kaesarsosei]

I was cautious going into the Anfield league game, which was borne out, but I am bullish today. I don't think we're going to see anything silly like 0-5 but I think it will be a comfortable 2-3 goal win for us.

The team DOES pick itself - to me the single only questionmark is RCB. If Konate was fit then it would be him, but assuming he isn't then IMO it's a toss-up between Gomez and Qanseh.

                    Kelleher

Bradley   Quanseh/Gomez VVD   Robbo

     Szobo        Endo         Mac

     Salah       Nunez       Diaz

[Nick110581]

Kelleher, Gomez, Quansah, Virgil, Robbo, Szoboszlai, Endo, Macca, Salah, Nunez, Diaz

Think that will be the side.

[darragh85]

A win would be also good to send them into melt down ahead of our league game with them

[sminp]

Kelleher, Gomez, Quansah, Virgil, Robbo, Szoboszlai, Endo, Macca, Salah, Nunez, Diaz

Given that’s what the team leaker said it’s probably correct.

same here. he has been constantly available when our midfield injuries hit.

does anyone still view him kind of a super sub squad player or trust him enough to create an impact from the start?

[Nick110581]

Haha! I hadn’t said that or even checked

Has it been pissing down up there ?

Got the feeling it’s going to be a mad match.

Casemiro is injured. They might play Amrabat🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hope so, Casemiro would try and kick anything that moves but obviously he's still far better than Amrabat who looks Championship quality (goes to show once more that international football is practically another sport). Surely United's midfield is a big worry. Once again I feel like all we need is Endo/Mac Allister to turn up and the rest will take care of itself.

If this was at Anfield I reckon it'd have the potential to be four or five again. I know many said that in December as well but we're playing much better football now and I think there'd be less pressure to get that first goal as there would be in a league match. It should also give us an idea of what to expect when we go there in the league soon enough. I am always a bit nervous about playing them away but we should really have too much for them. Feels like we've not seen Salah/Nunez/Diaz in ages so if that clicks again today a lot of teams are going to be in trouble before the end of the season.

Wasn't he wrong with one of the teams?

[kesey]

Fuckin arseholed already . 

[JackWard33]

 If their midfield 2 is really amarabat and mainoo I think we’ll score 3+

Mainoo is the most over hyped, over rated player in the last 5 years … he might turn into a player but right now he’s a total liability at this level
And amarabat was never at this level

Won’t he play McTominey ?

I have no idea, I only found out about him few games ago so not much of a sample size.

Haha! I hadn’t said that or even checked

Or your real name is Scotty and you’re in disguise!
