Although I would have loved a merseyside Derby final, I do believe playing city suits our style better at the moment, the fact that they will come and try beat us will play into our strengths. Anyway Wembley let's have it.

I don't think style comes into the equation
If you want to be a winner you have to go out and beat whoever is in front of you.

The officials are a disgrace last nights off side an then tonights ball out of play. If the play is too fast for officials we need technology.

Not a very savvy answer savvyxone. Clearly, we struggle against a certain style of opposition, and City play a more open game. True, that can be quite punishing when on song, but better than a Chelsea double decker.

We struggle week in week out for 2 reasons
1) injuries
2) mings-skittles-Moreno-clyne-Milner-benteke all either not being good enough or just not performing to the best of their ability I could name more but there's a lot of young talent there who are improving week on week and I do accept the likes of ibe and can have been very hot and cold but both have amazing potential and will improve more and more given time which between now and the end of the season is difficult to do when klopp is trying his hardest with the coaching staff to make the best out of the disaster that Bodgers left us with
Come the beginning hopefully! Of next season most of the players I named above are replaced with quality who are hard working and determined to go out and perform and win for their club week in week out
Just look at the difference between Clyne and Flanno for example.
Flanno comes back after 20 months out injured and is 10 times a better player than Clyne and has the hunger to succeed. Never once did his head drop during the game against Stoke he kept fighting and fighting, where Clynes head would have dropped and we could have lost the game within the 90 mins
Just my opinion everyone's different but there's sense to my madness
🤔😬.

Coutinho will be missed for that game i think. Its exactly the type of game and team he always brings his best. Should be a cracking final though if we can improve in the meantime and if we should find a striker on the market up to it, that wouldn't hurt either (although i guess they wouldn't be able to play cup final? )

We struggle for various reasons, but that wasn't the point. The point is what type of team we have success against and which ones we don't, generally speaking of course.

Agree that City's style suits us better than some others - they're not as physical, tend to keep the ball on the ground, don't rely purely on counterattacks.
Still a really tough challenge though given their quality. think they'll still be harder to beat than Everton but we have a reasonable chance.

Pretty sad that we had to play extra time and take pens because the linesman couldn't see the offside, then the blues put out by another goal that should not have counted. Anyway let's hope we can get the measure of Citeh once more.

Couts will be back for the game. He's been cleared for light training already.

Savy
Skrtel hasn't been playin from nearly a month and in his absence the team has shipped in record amount of goals.
Not sure what was your point.
{Ed001's Note - not sure how you can use that as any kind of point when we have had no fully fit centre halves in that month to choose from.}

Are Sakho, Toure and Ilori unfit Ed?
{Ed001's Note - Sakho has been injured and is still working his way back to full fitness. Toure suffers from long standing fitness problems that mean he is never going to be 100% fit. Ilori had not played a full match all season. So yes, over the course of the last month, none had been fully fit.}

Harry, your username has had more transition periods than lfc!
28 Jan 2016 08:53:49
I love how Harry changes his username and within 1 post we all know it's him.
28 Jan 2016 14:05:46
Another username, Harry? How many do you already have? It must be the Kovacic avatar that gave it away seeing as you love the guy so much.
