2nd leg against the cheating Scousers 20th Jan Thursday

goon

Charles Whatt says this game is very much on from what he's told. Makes sense, Odegaard is defo back and most of our injuries were minor.

HomeSteak

Can Partey fly home tonight? He could start this lol

goon

New piece on the Athletic on the 1st leg postponement:

Genuinely outrageous. Not even that annoyed that Liverpool tried their luck but that the EFL thought this was legitimate grounds to postpone the game.

KingslandBarge

Unverified sleuthing on twitter indicating that Daglish's daughter is a manager at BioGrad 😆

The institutional bias from the governing bodies and press is real, won't be getting that twisted even though our postponement was granted. The investigation into betting behavior also felt like a hit piece but it was nice to see fans banter that off.

goon

To be fair that bit about BioGrad is irrelevant anyway since those results also came back negative. That's the damming thing, there was never any indication that they were positive. The whole thing was an act and the EFL bought it.

KingslandBarge

oh so there were never any false positives? what a complete asshat of a manager if so. I really should be crediting this info coming out but indications current EFL chairman Rick Parry was chief executive at Liverpool for 12 years. Arsenal fans represent the best and the worst aspects of online fandom, and there has been more the better, unified kind lately.
Edit: i'm hearing that Biograd did provide 10+? false positives

Ricky1985

13 false positives to be precise. This is a little window into how dodgy football is. And the claims about their steroid use are not taken seriously (because everyone's at that).

Clrnc

That's literally cheating. How are they not awarded a 3 0 loss?

Clrnc

Partey already on the bench. 😆

Very strong team but our midfield might be overrun with the inverted 3.

Sicario

Leno def leaving, not in the squad at all.

Liverpool team bar back 4 looks average.

Edit: Leno back injury apparently

KingslandBarge

really? I think the Liverpool team looks very strong, should be no excuses for them. Fabinho and free roaming TAA will be all over that midfield of ours. Great to see Smith-Rowe back though as I do trust him to put a heck of shift in there.

Pepe LeFrits

Good stuff. Hopefully Odegaard in CM works better than previous attempts

goon

Super lineup. Ooh excited to see the 4-3–3 tonight. Really hope we can get it to work in some games.

Sicario

Partey coming on and scoring the winner would be so sweet given these cunts moved the first leg

Clrnc

Looking at the Liverpool team with Jones and this kid Gordon, I would be disappointed if we don't put up a good fight.

Good fight? We are not Barnsley. We have to win.

goon

Yup, with home advantage we should be winning this.

Ricky1985

I really hope we smash these fuckers tonight.

The atmosphere should be amazing, tickets were like gold dust. Chance of a final, even if only the Carabao Cup...Wish I was there!

Trying to keep my hopes down. I know what shit sometimes this team can conjure up.

I secured one but gave it up back in December 🙁

Regret it now.
