Yeah both teams form is worse than when we met in the league. Hoping that Coutinho is a bit rusty still and Mane is a massive miss for you.

Most worried about Sturridge tbh... that twat always seems to be fit when we meet and tends to bag a couple <grr>



Comfortable 4-0 home win... yeah I'll take that :)

well by the law of averages he has to be fit to play someone every now & again though if he meets you twice in one season you have been incredibly unlucky

I'm expecting and hoping for a tight cagey affair.

Certainly hope we don't go all out. Most important is to make sure we're still in the tie. No point going crazy trying to assume a decent lead to then lose 3-1 and effectively be out of it.

We drew (albeit rather fortunately) with you 0-0 in the league and you were playing much better back then and have a few more injury problems now too.

Yet to concede in this competition and have played PL teams in every round too.

I'd probably take 0-0 now if offerred tbh..

Anyone on here coming down? Or is that a bit of a stupid question... <whistle>

Oh and away goals count after et don't they? Silly ****ing rule that, can't ever remember a tie settled on that <doh>

Burnley were robbed a few years back with that rule but int he opposite way
Think they lost the first leg 4-1
Won 3-0 over 90 mins and yet had to play ET
Where I think spurs scored 2 cause after conceding 1 Burnley had to proper go for it

I don't remember that... Burnley in a semi final? Do you mean Sheff United... they beat us in QF's 2 years ago and then played Spurs.

It's a **** rule though... you either have away goals for full tie or not at all imo.

Away goals is the second worst rule in the game, to the exemption of the offside rule for clubs from Manchester

I don't mind away goals generally... think it makes European games more exciting and unique.

Not sure what you're on about for second point...

Edit - Don't worry. Just realised who I've responded too <doh>

Saints Hull would be best imo. Big '**** you' to the media already ****ing over a United Liverpool final...

Plus, you lot have won this competetion enough times, only fair to let someone else (us) have a go :bandit:

Yeah but can we trust you to beat united or hull in the final? If not well have to go do it ourselves!

Oh so you'll be supporting us in the final regardless of who wins the other semi?

Cheers mate <hug>

If we don't go through I'd rather you guys win it over either of them. Be funny Koeman having to watch his old team win a trophy while his current club just dawdle along doing **** all.

Plus as mito says, nice to install a winning mentality on some of our new signings like VvD and Sims <whistle>
