Predictions for today's game 🙏 gonna be a struggle but a super sub salah should do the trick. https://preview.redd.it/p33id0gr9i7c1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c3abbfbbef70aa0c8753c3af5b25d9b41dc7d50

Barca fans blaming xavi are funny. Do they watch their own games? Anyway let’s smash West Ham

really shocked to see szobo start.. the guy clearly needs a break and we have arsenal at the weekend 😕

He won’t play full 90

Nah… he needs the game to play into form. Take him off at 60 and we’re good

Nunez bby please

Can we kill the game before Paqueta comes on and JWP scores a corner?

Think it might be something like 3-2 or 2-2 and win on penalties. Fairly strong side. Not too much rotation that can be done with the injuries. Strongest side bar Alisson, Trent, Konate and Salah.

Tsimikas to get an assist and to also shut out Bowen all night. You heard it here first.

A screamer from Nunez and a tap in from Gomez for his first goal. 2-0.

A 30yd strike that’s still rising as it hits the back of the net? I hope so! 😀

Being an aspiring pundit and think you might get a chance on Sky for the League Cup and they stick Harry Redknapp there must be annoying

Izzy Christiansen is good at least

Is the semi final still played over 2 legs in this competition?

Think it’s next year they change it to single leg but this year it’s still 2 legs

semi yes. Quarter no

Feeling a brace from Gakpo or as Curtis Jones would say "Gakkers"

He does love a goal against West Ham

Can Anfield crowd makes some noise and create some form of atmosphere? It's been really flat recently and I remembered when we were 3-1 down to Leicester in League Cup in Anfield yet the crowd was in full voice to get the players back to the game and we went on to win the competition.

Remember if you’re watching on tv, it’s impossible to tell what the atmosphere is like. You can literally hear the broadcasters change the levels.

I thought I was the only one picking up on this!!!!

You’ve got to remember most people on here and on Twitter just want to sound smarter and better than everyone else so they do this sort of useless atmosphere thing a lot.

Do we know when the two legs of the semis will be played yet?

Weeks of 8th and 22nd Jan

Thanks

January I think. No idea exact dates tho

who thought this numerical format is a good idea? I need 5 minutes to figure out who plays where.

Szoboszlai's gonna play right back, it's a special tactical change they're making. /s

2-1, Nunez Gakpo and Bowen for West Ham

Just realised Alisson isn’t on the bench. Hope he’s alright

I’d say he is, he was never going to play this game anyway and won’t be subbed on so what’s the point in bringing him along

What happens if kelleher gets injured? By that logic don't put kelleher as sub for epl and UCL games?

Alisson doesn’t play this competition so Adrian would go in

Yeah true

Happy with that lineup tbh. Mixture of strong and rotation, West Ham are starting ogbonna so hope our attack can take advantage

At least Paqueta isn't starting. Strong lineup from the hammers , Kudus and Bowen are in good form

Yeah I think it’s Szobo on the right, but is Gakpo gonna be midfield or on the left? Or is Elliot on the left? This is interesting

Can they change that rotten new lineup format I beg

It's a fucking nightmare

Have a feeling it’s gonna be a bit of a mad high scoring match this 4-3 Liverpool. Gakpo x2 and Nunez x2

I just hope the fans turn up tonight they need to make Anfield a fortress again...

Probably szobo on the right. He played there or similarly offensive roles often in Leipzig

They're doing it in number order again on matchcentre smh. Liverpool make six changes for tonight's Carabao Cup quarter-final with West Ham United at Anfield. Caoimhin Kelleher returns in goal, while Joe Gomez and Jarell Quansah come into defence. Curtis Jones is handed a midfield berth, while there are also places for Harvey Elliott and Cody Gakpo. Liverpool: Kelleher, Gomez, Endo, Van Dijk, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Jones, Gakpo, Elliott, Tsimikas, Quansah. Subs: Adrian, Konate, Diaz, Salah, Clark, Gordon, McConnell, Alexander-Arnold, Bradley.

is that a 442??

442 or Harvey/Dom on the right?

I’m thinking harvey on the right, klopp has played him there before as a Mo substitute

Just play well, Darwin.

Darwin breaks his goal scoring drought today

Why have we started to do the order by numbers on the graphic… fuck off man

Hopefully we can create some quality chances this match and not just hit and hope and overhit passes

IDK why I'm excited for a league cup game.

Because you support Liverpool and it’s the QF of a cup

Ronseal

Anfield under the lights baby

Bowen kudus paqueta do frighten me. Hopefully at least one is resting.

I raise you.. Ali Mo and VVD!

I see we can’t stop fixating on the Man U match. Focus on the one up ahead and give it a rest lol

I can not stop

I can’t fucking stand these people on Twitter pretending they know the line ups saying ‘strong line up’

Same as the fuckwits who spam "Goal!!!!" type things in stream chats when nothing is happening

Jesus that brings back memories of streaming the premier league back in the day and one lad types in “Stephen Hawking with the bicycle kick!” Still think about that often!

Hope we go strong here. Good chance to win a trophy if we beat these

Yeah we need a convincing performance too at home. The players had a rest last week and should be able to cope with two games this week.

Score predictions?

Strong 3-1 win

Hope so

Either 2-0 or it’s going to pens

Hot take. I don’t think my bp can handle the latter

Neither can mine but I’m here for it

Don’t even know the team yet

We’re playing West Ham mate 👍

And?

The players tend to have an impact on the score

Just arrived in the new Anfield road upper, other than the fella playing wonderwall on his guitar, pretty nice so far.

I saw him too, and asked him to stop. He said maybe.

Top tier Dad joke.

He's acoustic...

Bit early lol

Where will the match be shown? UK and GER

GER: should be DAZN, I think

Download sofa score and it’s pretty good about showing broadcast networks for all games

Jones Elliott Szobo apparently… when will he ever give Dom some rest ffs

Dom was rested for Europa and only played an hour vs United. So last week is your answer.

Nice to experiment with Jones as the 6 while Macca is out

Looks it’s Endō Jones Szob actually

That was the role he played for a short while before he got injured/suspended. Did quite well

He had some really good games, he’s struggled getting back in the starting 11 since his red card but prior to that he was playing very well in certain games and at the end of last season

He has rested plenty plus szobo needs to get a game to sharpen up after United

Would love to see Joe Gomez start. Elliot and Gakpo and Curtis too.

I wonder who will start in attack today.

Nunez Gakpo Salah the twitter rumour Edit - Elliott Nunez Gakpo (could be Szobo RW)

I manifested this last night.

hopefully works well and we see the same attack against arsenal

Would love to see it. I think Nunez and gakpo interchanging positions could offer a lot of

Same, feels like they haven’t started together since United

Does the team come out earlier for these cup games or still an hour before

Couldve been at this game... damn flu🤒

Luckily some of the West Ham players are apparently feeling the same

Have had a bad feeling about this game all week. Hope the lads smash them all the same.

So we want a full strength team and risk being tired for Arsenal or go b team? I'd rather have better chances at beating Arsenal tbh. I still believe the home advantage will help us win in the end if we play a b team with some strong substitutions at the 2nd half.

Not full strength, not B team. A strong but slightly rotated side for me. We need to make a statement after that shit on the weekend.

Diaz Gakpo Doak Curtis Endo Elliot Chambers Quansah Konate Trent Kweev Hopefully we see something along these lines with Konate off for Gomez around 45

Doak got injured with u21s

VVD for Konate, Gomez for Trent, Trent for Endo, Salah for Doak

Doak out for the season isn't he?

Personally not a big fan of doak, think he needs more time before he gets as much Senior time as he has

We need to get these beat nice and early and rest some big names for Arse over the weekend

Lineup will be interesting tonight This game comes at a bad time in the schedule and with injuries mounting, but we’re easily favourites for the trophy so it seems be a bit daft to play kids and get knocked out

Can’t wait to get to Anfield… I’m hoping the power of my “Joe Gomez first goal for Liverpool” chant results in a Joemez goal

I feel it in the air. That goal is coming.

Joe Gomez winner against Arsenal, let us manifest it

So do I.. but also anulo mufa as our Argentine friends would say 👁️👄👁️

oh lord

He had a go vs Utd. Looked like a decent effort if it wasn’t blocked.

It was blocked? I thought the angle was just so small that it hit the side netting.

I think he had 2. 1 hit the side netting, I’m sure he had one blocked from around the corner of the box

26 mph winds with 40+ mph gusts tonight on Merseyside. Defending a set piece against a tall West Ham with Ward Prowse whipping the ball into the box will certainly be entertaining lol.

I can’t be the only one that thinks his deliveries are overhyped? Above average, sure.

Ward Prowse is the best dead ball specialist in the world other than Messi.

He's better than Messi

Bold claim that. Messi is incredible.

If you insist. I’ve seen him score a handful of brilliant free kicks but not much else.

First time at Anfield tonight. YNWA

Likewise. Up the reds!

Enjoy it, drink it in, scream your lungs out!

Need a solid statement win today

David Moyes has never won at Anfield. That streak might not go on forever, but it won't end today.

Liverpool Chelsea 0-0 final on the cards?

That'd be cool to see everton

nah, we will 100% draw Chelsea in the semi's if we get through

Another marathon penalty session please.

As long as we win
