At this point, I'll be happy with a goal.

A team with an average age of 18 getting a goal against a Premier League team of professionals should be able to hold their heads up proud, no matter how bad they're spanked.
 
The Kid lack a real finisher...Really I expected Lallana, to have been playing in this, but this is were we learn what these kids are made of...How they handle defeat

Half-time stats. How the fuck is it 4:0?
 
I have enjoyed the way they have kept the ball, decision making and build up in the final third is slow. I still have some hope for them. Fuck you lot, I am enjoying watching them pass the ball around.
 
Yeah... I've been thinking that... For a QF to be reduced to this.

If Villa were smashing our adult team you would say this is a Carabao success. For them to be smashing our kids is a bit of an embarrassment... Not for us, not for Villa, and not for our kids... But it makes the Carabao look a joke.

The League Cup has always been a fucking joke. Ever since Liverpool went to a one of their many finals in the early 80’s and I had to go to fucking Maine Road instead.
 
we've been the better team for most of that half - they've just been more clinical and we're playing with kids who could you be your grandchildren you miserable old man.
It is a fact that the kids up top can do good things and that all looks great. Kid defenders, and especially kid CBs, get fucked. That's the truth. When Hansen fucked up saying you don't win anything with kids, Utd's CBs were Pallister and Bruce or something. You win fuck all if your CBs are kids.
 
Just so we're clear. In no way is it an embarrassment.
It's our under-23s playing a premier league team who have a semi final in their nostrils.
Our priority is the CWC.
It's literally men against boys, so who gives a fuck.

Hopefully the kids can at least get a goal or two, their play first half deserves it.
 
It's an entirely predictable farce and while we were given no help, we should have split the squad and not sent a team of children out to get humiliated on telly.

I think we did the exact right thing. We have no interest in this tournament and prioritized one that has a much higher profile and makes us way more money.

We did it such a way that we also wouldn't jeopardize the main thing we care about. We did it in such a way that we signaled that we've essentially forfeited the game.

The main problem with this mini liverpool team right now is a lack of a goal scorer, the keeper, and our CBs. That's not their fault. A 17 year old CB who was dodging cowpats a few months back shouldn't be able to compete against half decent opposition. You really think we should have left a first team CB back? You think we should have left a forward back? A keeper?

The stupidest thing we could have done here was something in between.

Nah, splitting the squad would have been a worse option.
Take the loss, the kids gets some experience and focus on the World club cup.
We dont want to go through and play a two legged semi final anyway. Not this season.

If we get through & then get Everton, or Utd, City, or Leicester, we're basically forced to play a half decent side in two games, at a very very important point in the season.

No way Klopp genuinely wants to progress in this competition.

No it isn't. We could have won both games with two mixed squads, because the World Cup of Literally Who is full of fucking shit teams and nobody cares anyway, unless we get a glamour tie against Akka Dakka Akbar or the Champions of French Polynesia

You could ask three different people which tournament is more important and get four different answers (if one of those people gave two answers)...

I'm not convinced CWC is a bigger cup... They're both minor distractions in my mind; however, we would have been big fools to split the team in two and then potentially lose both games.


So we lose this game, as long as we win the CWC then the gamble has paid off. I'm not convinced CWC is bigger, but we had to prioritise one cup and so we did. Win CWC and I'm happy.

We've never won one of the 2 cups on offer here

I'm fine with the decision

How did we do in the tournament last time we played it? We won it against Akka Dakka Akbar right?

There's no way Klopp wants to play that two legged semi. Not a chance. He wanted out of this cup last round, & it's little fucking wonder.
