Liverpool at home in the cup. What does everyone think of that draw?

Personally I think it's ideal. If we win then we have taken out a serious threat in the competition, if we lose then it's not a shameful loss and it means we can focus on the league and don't overstretch ourselves.

I've said previously that if it was me I would send the squad players out in all the cups.

Seeing as we can't make it past the Semi anyway what's the point 😂.

Can’t make it past a semi, that’s what she said.

I think Ole needs to win something, start to prove he has what it takes and finish at least 2nd in the league. I don’t believe in surrendering a competition and concentrate on other competitions. You have to aim to win everything you are in. I would be worried about Liverpool at home given our home form, that can change if the manager plays it as a cup game, not a try not to lose scrape an on the break goal set up.

Red Man, we are going to play Liverpool twice in a 7-8 day period.

While the aim should always be to win every game. If you could only pick one of those games to win and the other would be a loss which would you pick to win?

The league game or the FA cup game?

League given our current position Shappy. All day long.

If we were well adrift in the league I'd pick the cup as it puts the favourites out and us into the 5th round.

But let's focus on beating Burnley first. Dyche and his team are always up for it against us.

I don’t think Liverpool are favourites for the cup, they usually go out early as Klopp puts a weak team out and they focus on the league and CL. They only got through because Villa had to play their kids, so it will be interesting to see what Klopp does against us, I doubt he will want to lose that one.

The old adage, take every game as it comes and try to win them. We shouldn’t be prioritising one or the other at this point.

So a refusal to answer my question then as you will pick the league over the cup and prove my point.

Red Man, if come the end of the season we have had long cup runs in the FA cup and Europa League and we have many key players out injured which impacts our league form will you come back on here and admit I was right?

Sometimes you win games you don’t expect to. You have to go into every game trying to win. We don’t have the luxury of being selective.

{Ed047's Note - just treat the games like a semi final and you’ll be fine! 😉

Shappy,

Why do you have to pick one or the other? Going on that logic we should play weaker teams in all the cups every year and just go for the league. i'm glad Fergie didn't have that mentality in 99.
