Hmm, not sure but the point remains about their kids being good and their team being generally confident. Kids are usually not used to fix problems with teams that are struggling.

FWIW Klopp didn't win the cup because he brought on loads of kids, he won the cup because VDV is good at headers. And their kids are probably much, much better than ours anyway. And they're being introduced into a confident and successful team.

We did want to stay in the CL though, not just settle for Europa. And we should still be in if it wasn't for a horrific decision.

Bruno can't make a tackle, Miley is a kid, Longstaff can't get close enough to foul anyone, Joelinton is injured, Pope is injured, Wilson is injured. Think that takes care of almost every player who was involved in anything, except maybe Trippier. Maybe the bigger picture is that we've been so focused on crisis management this season that we haven't had a chance to impose ourselves and focus on our culture. Hard to say but usually shithousery works for teams who are feeling confident, assured in themselves and on top of their opponents.

Blackburn are a Championship team, we've been knocked out of cups by much worse teams than them. Given this is the most meaningful game left in the season I would go as strong as possible. Maybe not start Willock and Isak I guess, but I'd like to see them play at least a half. Hopefully Barnes is the one to grab a couple of goals for us.

He's much better than Longstaff but I agree with the general point.

It’s not like a masterclass or they outplayed Chelsea like. Just got a header from a guy who’s really good at headers.

This would be enjoyable if I didn’t hate Klopp so much.

Clarke Jnr looks freakishly like his Dad.

So you missed rock and roll, heavy metal football, rhythm at the expensive of the blues?

Drury is an absolute mess.

Do Liverpool not have money now?

Considering one of the most expensive defenders in history has won the game for Liverpool

Annoying.

Drury is absolutely ridiculous

Longstaff can’t control a ball or tackle, Miley can’t really impose himself because he’s a child, Bruno can’t make a tackle because we can’t have him banned. Doesn’t matter what the game plan is with that midfield.

There’s no (realistic) scenario that leads to Howe losing his job before next season - it’s a pointless discussion.

Any idea why he would do it?

But why do you say ‘injuries or not’?

He wouldn’t be starting games this season except for incredible events TBF.

I still find it crushingly depressing to see us murdered while looking like amateurs. I know it’s just a matter of time but I can’t wait for the day when we can complete with these teams for technical quality.

They scored more in the last two didn’t they?

I mean, I think it’s a choice between 2 so it’s at least close.

I think 60 minutes is the most I’ve ever seen TBH.

We haven’t been in the game but that first goal was incredibly unlucky.
