I was thinking that way too - was itching to turn Liverpool over after that game at SJP at the time. Now I'm thinking - let's avoid a hiding at Anfield, maybe pinch a draw, beat the mackems and just have a fun ride in the FA Cup this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondonewc Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Prioritising Liverpool away over Sunderland is fucking nuts, like seriously, completely absurd. Everyone's entitled to an opinion, but anyone with that one is just wrong! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd 100% prioritise it and would be completely fine with playing the kids against Liverpool on Monday to be as ready as possible for the Sunderland game.

Maybe it's something to do with losing at home to Cambridge & away to Sheffield Wednesday in the previous two 3rd round draws? Both of them were League One teams. So why are we guaranteed to smash a play-off chasing Championship team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield Wednesday Pretty sure we would have been ok if not for Chris Wood. Not to mention Martin Dúbravka, Javier Manquillo, Lewis and Richie all playing. But I get ya point.

GavMcEl Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I really didn't think it at the time when the draw was made, but seeing how things have went since, this really is massive now, a win against the mackems, you imagine would most definitely change the mood and atmosphere around the club and give us the catalyst to kick on now with the 2nd half of the season.... where as defeat in this fixture really is unthinkable.... I would most definitely take a mid table finish now and an FA Cup final, over a 7th place finish and getting beat in the 3rd round by the mackems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny1403 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 The more I think about it the more crazy it is that across the FA cup, league cup and Champions League we haven't been given a single 'easy' tie in which you could consider resting a couple of players.
