Sure - I certainly get that. But at the same time, I hate how we are forced into timidly sacrificing the cups and exiting early from those competitions. I completely understand the prioritization / hierarchy of the competitions, but I want to do well in everything. You can't just throw kids at this and think "fuck it."

You could perhaps make that case for the FA cup, but the League Cup isn't worth giving two fucks about, and Klopp has rightly treated it like that. I doubt he'll lose any sleep if we get knocked out.

The prize money for winning the whole bloody thing is a miserable 100k.

We always used to take it seriously, the other teams certainly do still. Just once since Klopps first season would it hurt just to give it a go ?

We’d be losing money on player bonuses.
 
Klopp should take these midweek cup games off and let Ljinders take charge. (excluding CL of course)
He's doing the pressers, no doubt he's pressing the choice of youngsters in the game too, Klopps clearly handing a lot of the responsibility of these games to him.

That depends if it comes back to bite us on the arse. And the way it's going, massive number of games and injuries, yes it will hurt us.
 
I'm slightly more arsed than usual, simply because there's players in the squad who have seen little game time, but we may end up depending on later down the line.

We haven't seen much of Jones, Gomez, Taki, Origi, etc, and the likes of Gordon would be exciting to watch.

I also irrationally dislike Norwich and everything about them.

Exactly, I don't care about the cup I care about the game. I find it very interesting to see how our fringe players and youths do.
 
I'm all about getting minutes into fringe players.

I don't mind Norwich.

Alan Partridge.
Let's Be 'Aven ya.
Adam Buxton.
Jeremy Goss
Uel Fox (???)
Beating Munich in the 90s(???)
The goalkeeper with the mullet who managed them for one game and they got battered by 7 goals. Gunn, think that's the name.
Yellow kit.
Luis Suarez.
Nearly winning the league on the early 90s.

Not a mustard fan?
 
Bloody hell - pretty much zero memory of this!

In my defence I was finishing my doctorate and got married in the summer of '93 so footie not top of the list (and we won all the time anyway, it was just a matter of time before we won again ....)

Ruel Fox...
 
Todd Cantwell will miss Norwich's Carabao Cup third-round clash with Liverpool on Tuesday night due to personal reasons. Canaries boss Daniel Farke has seen his side lose all five of their Premier League games this season but they were 6-0 winners against Bournemouth in round two. He is likely to make a host of alterations, with Christoph Zimmermann (ankle) and Przemyslaw Placheta (Covid) absent along with Cantwell.
 
My enjoyment of league cup games is inverse to the number of first teamers risked in it. Play the kids and i'll watch, play & risk first teamers and I can't be bothered.

You are forgetting that game away to them when Lallana won it and it ended up 4-5 to us, and the team just jumped on Klopp with Benteke punching Klop's glasses off.
 
Just learned that they closed the factory in 2020.it was made in Norwich for 160 years.
After your comment I had a look in the fridge and had a jar of Coleman's (of Norwich, it's right there on the label).

Anyway, I don't use it that often, usually go with dijon and mayo. But it started me thinking about my granda. He would have had those tins of Coleman's dried mustard and wee pot with a lid and tiny spoon for serving the mustard. Good memories to mixing the powder with water. It's probably the smell that helps the memory stay so strong.
 
I can't imagine Norwich will put too much emphasis on this game with a 0-0-5 start in the league.

Ox, Taki, Divock, Keita, Jones, Gomez, Phillips should be certain starters.

I would think Milly, Robbo and Matip will play 60 mins each.

KELLEHER
GOMEZ NAT MATIP ROBBO
MILLY KEITA JONES
OX DIVOCK MINAMINO

Apparently one of the owners of Colmans mustard, maybe even the original one, said that they didn't make their fortune by people eating the mustard but by what they left on their plate.
