Aston Villa v Liverpool - Match Thread - Carabao Cup

[ibromurph]

Hopefully City get Leicester or United.

Either one will be good for us.

Everton coming back to level it, only to then get beat in pens was beautiful to behold. Watching their hope turn to despair, as per usual, was just glorious.

Scum vs Shitty
Leicester vs Villa

Perfect draw

Yep great draw. 3 games each for Both City’s.

If Everton beat us in the FA Cup our fixture congestion eases nicely while our closest rivals have a busy Jan

We can't let them win at Anfield, it's been twenty years, & every time we beat them again it steals a bit of their diminishing hope.

If Dunc is in charge and we rest players it’s a good chance

United are capable of beating City again. Probably the best team in the country at playing the style that threatens City the most

Behave, our style is best suited and even then I’d put Wolves next.

Utd are capable but they won’t. Over two legs City will win it.

I think we play the style that actually threatens City the least normally... we're just so damn good at it that it works and forces them to change their style. Utd have one of, if not, the quickest front 3 in the country and they love to sit back and play on the counter. The bonus for them being that Sterling may as well not play if he has to go against AWB.

Glad you can predict the future so that we don't have to waste time looking out for the score.

Until the last game City generally had the measure of Utd. Will be interesting to see what pep does differently in the semi if anything at all.

You mean like the last derby a mere three weeks ago?
