And Milner injury

True. I'm thinking that was more of a precaution though, hopefully. Time for some Neco and CuJo against Preston North End.

I’d wager Milner is out until the international break.

Damn that was fun to watch. Nice win Liverpool.

Fuck Anthony Taylor for allowing all the shit that led up to the challenge. 

as i posted before the half, the 2nd half was 1000% guaranteed aggro and should have been locked down immediately

taylor should be reprimanded

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

The best part of winning like that is spending the rest of the day reading about it, finding memes, and watching the Mancs shit themselves online.

[hobbes2702 13034]

What a game. Still fucking buzzing about it. Also I dunno if anyone else noticed this but Hendo’s pass looked like he learned something watching Stevie…

Lijnders said in his Carabao Cup press conference that Millie is probably out till the International Break with his hamstring. Keita only has a bruise. Fabinho should be back for Saturday's match. Thiago is about to start training again.

That's weird seeing how he was stretchered off. Maybe it was to assure Pogba's red?

[pied06 228]

maybe, but I'll bet it just hurt a ton.  Doubt he would force a sub if not needed.  Sometimes those things just need a few minutes to settle down.

[406W30th 1111]

Considering Naby gets hurt kicking a blade of grass, I'll be shocked if he's actually able to play soon after getting clobbered studs-up by Pogba. Hope so but hard to imagine he's not out for a few weeks.

[pied06 228]

At the beginning of the season and when the draw came out I thought the LC might be a good place for the youngsters to get a run.  With Elliott/Thiago/Milner/Keita out I'm not sure I mind an early exit.  Not good to go out against Preston North End though. 

[pied06 228]

Whe do we got tonight?

Kelleher

Williams/Gomez/Konate(Matip with some time)/Tsimikas

Ox/Jones/?

Gordon/Minamino/Origi

He's sick. Adrian will be between the posts.

[LonghornJudas 1097]

Cracks me up every time I watch it.

Looks about right, with Adrian in for Kelleher and I'd slot in Tyler Morton in the midfield.

Can't say I know anything about Blair and Morton.  If these games gove these guys minutes, then let's go ahead an win.

And just like that, Konate became a Liverpool Legend.

Morton came on as halftime sub against Norwich in the previous round of the League Cup and was very impressive, honestly one of the better players on the field. Holding midfielder.

 

Blair is totally out of left field. He's an 18-year old winger who's only played for the U-18's with no appearances at U-23 level. We signed him from the Mancs when he was 12, so bonus points if he turns out to be a good one.

 

[pied06 228]

Yeah, can't say I was paying a lot of attention (if any) to the second half of the Norwich LC game lol.

 

Probably the same today.

Matip/Gomez looks like a mediocre partnership at best.

I think they both have some fantastic qualities to their game but I also think, and Ibra did this a lot early against ManU, that they step up to pressure players too often and often times without regard for what’s happening on the wings. VIrgil often has to cover for them doing so and it’s why he often times plays like a sweeper back there. Neither Gomez or Matip seem to be capable of that.

[hobbes2702 13034]

Also I said “often” way too many times there. Drugs are bad mkay.

HERE COMES BIG NAT!

[hobbes2702 13034]

I wish we would move him on. He’s better than only getting League Cup games 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

A tie is the worst outcome here.

Klopp is thinking: Own goal to get us out of this tourney is looking pretty good...

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Mini says: NOT SO FAST

[pied06 228]

Minamino wants more minutes.

 

Great ball in.

no draws/replays in the league cup anymore. Straight to PK’s after 90 minutes. 

[406W30th 1111]

Naby is back in training today. This guy might be the most unpredictable player ever, injury-wise. After that dirty tackle by Pogba I was sure he'd be out for at least three months.

thankfully Pogba missed Keita's standing leg. That would have been a long-term injury.

[mdmost 43002]

More Konate action

 

[Hagbard Celine 10866]

nice start

[mdmost 43002]

Damn Hendo!

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Oh captain my captain!

[mdmost 43002]

I'm really hoping Konate will be the perfect partner for VvD. They both tower over the other squad out there.
