That's maybe the worst pitch I've ever seen tbh.

My local park has a better pitch, although it's probably because it's used for drinking and smoking rather than footie.

How did Tranmere manage to beat a Premier League side before this one...

[Kai]

These are next level tactics from Ole, every player is allowed to score only 1 goal just for the confidence boost

Blimey, 1.47 for LFC? Have they selected the ball-boys?

In short they started 5 kids and 3 players returning from injury with zero first-teamers. You'd think that the markets would get familiar with Klopp's lineup patterns but nope. That steam just before teamnews looked very suspect and very artificial in particular.

I think thats irrelevent. It looks more like LFC gifting The Shrews a replay. Get involved if you dare. That's Cup footy for you!

Could be an interesting game, especially if they go 1 down with the players Klopp can bring on.

I think Kai touched on this earlier about Klopp wanting to develop younger players.

This is where the magic is for me Did you already forget the Arsenal game? This is the perfect game to build up match fitness for many and for some of these wonderkids to run riot, can't honestly wait to watch this game.

[greenmark]

Wow, Klopp looks knackered.

[Kai]

I think this Liverpool preoff graph is a decent example overall on how the market thinks, the price suddenly stops being value for layers soon as it touches 1.50. And then last half hour or so a bit of late money comes for Liverpool and you get textbook mean reversion. So one can already trade this game in a number of different ways, before the game even starts.

I thought all my sundays had come at once when Oxlade, Salah & Firmino were brought on. I over did it and it & lost a few quid more than I should but I think I would defo make the same decision again lol

Klopp : "I said to the boys already two weeks ago that we will have a winter break. We will not be there, it will be the kids that play that game. I know that's not very popular but that's the way I see it."

[greenmark]

First time I've had respect for Lovren. He engineered that draw. I hope it was with the OK of Klopp. The result makes no odds. LFC will roll over them at Anfield. Unless the replay drops into LFC's log jam of fixtures...Oh.....bugger!!!!
