Congrats to the Pool lads. Thought we were good first half and probably the more dangerous side until the first goal. The collapse since the first goal is inexplicable. Liverpool all over us. The #kloppout shouts will surely quieten down now for a while. Utd’s defence all over the place today.

Reckon we’d both happily settle for a draw Sean. A no/low scoring draw is probably the most likely result

If Liverpool beat us, they’re only 7 behind and we’d definitely have to start looking over our shoulder. I maintain that I think Liverpool will get top 4 and a win would certainly set them up for getting that, particularly if Spurs and Newcastle drop points. A Utd win would all but secure top 4 for us I think. I wouldn’t expect us to get caught if we win this one. Huge game.

Hard to see any of City, Arsenal, Chelsea dropping points, which at least means Newcastle will drop another 3. Brighton likely to keep up the pace with another home win. Spurs could have a tricky time away at Wolves. Fancy a draw there.
Really nervous about Sunday. Utd are a world away from the side who went there last season and were torn apart under Rangnick. That we go there and people can’t call the game shows how far we’ve come in a short time. Liverpool are just coming into form at the right time but there’s an argument that form matters little in this game. I’m not going to say I fancy us but we have a chance to take something there and it’s a long time since I last said that.
Incoming post from Sean:
“Utd will beat us easily. No chance of us getting top 4”

This was from the goal West Ham got given by VAR yesterday by the way 😆. I can only imagine the uproar if we’d been given that. Joke of a decision considering VAR looked at it

West Ham’s goal looked very questionable. Yet to see an angle which suggests VAR got it right. Fortunately, it didn’t matter.

Called it 😁👀
Chelsea are interested in replacing under-fire manager Graham Potter with Roberto de Zerbi.

Fair enough Harry. Never easy to tell in text form 😁

That’s pretty much it Chucky. The one thing in common in all those sets of fans is a sustained period of success. The only way of having a fanbase which neutrals don’t really mind is by having a team who don’t win anything. Yesterday a great example. Neutrals love Newcastle fans. Give it a few years when the Saudis have spent billions and see how many neutrals like them.

Oh I don’t deny we have a lot of annoying fans Harry but you’re not seriously one of these fans who thinks their own team’s fans are superior to everyone else I hope. There’s a reason Liverpool fans were referred to as “the unbearables”. Are Liverpool fans any worse than any others, though? Of course not. Nor are Utd fans. There’s just a lot more of both Liverpool and Utd fans which makes it more noticeable than any others when the tides change.

Probably an Audi cup in there somewhere Chucky too. I stand corrected. The point still stands though minus the point that you’ve not seen the mighty Spurs lift a trophy 😄

Besides, Liverpool fans moaning about having had it tough in the 90s because you “didn’t win enough” sound incredibly spoilt. You’ve won every trophy available in the last decade. Do you think rival fans enjoyed any of that gloating? Spare a thought for the likes of Chucky who has (and will likely) never see his side lift a trophy! Or the many sides who struggle to get by. Nobody feels sorry for you after winning 2 and almost 4 trophies less than a year ago 😁

Come on Nil, that’s not exclusive to Liverpool 😄 re the mickey mouse cup thing. Every set of fans belittle achievements of their rivals while every set of fans enjoy the titles their side win, whatever they are. That’s just how football rivalries work.

League, CL double? Not sure anyone’s following Harry? 😕

Cheers all. My favourite domestic trophy win for a long time. When you’re winning trophies all the time, you really do take them for granted. If someone would have offered me a Carabao cup and top 4 before the season I’d have snapped their hand off and it’s looking very much like that’s the minimum we can now expect for this season. Ten Hag is the best signing we’ve made post Ferguson, by far.

Always liked the look of Zakaria when I’ve seen him in cameos for Chelsea. Never understand why he doesn’t play more. Has he been injured?
The #potterout brigade will be out in full force today but I just don’t see much point in acting now. He’s been brought in as a long term project. CL football is gone anyway so I see little to be gained from not giving him until the end of the season.

Why on earth was Kepa even trying to waste time after half an hour of a game they need to win? Seems to be a new trend, that. Time-wasting used to be something teams did towards the end of a game when they’re protecting a lead. Not surprised Kane left one in on him.

My worry with Newcastle is that they draw a lot of games and lose very few. They concede hardly any goals (albeit with another keeper mainly but the defence is a huge part of that). That all lends itself to them being able to keep it tight when the need arises. Utd are the in-form team, no doubt, but it wouldn’t at all surprise me if we struggle to break them down and it goes all the way to pens, which leaves it completely to chance. A single goal or pens to decide a tight game IMO. Hopefully in our favour.

That really was dire to watch. You know what though, I still fancy Liverpool for top 4.

I’ll be amazed if Karius doesn’t have the game of his life. Usually happens with the lesser known keepers against us in big games. Tell you what (Nine/Sean), I want to see this much optimism the next time you’re in finals 😂. As Alfie says, the amount of games we’re playing is going to catch up with us eventually. Newcastle will be fresh and hungry and anything can happen in a one off game. Over 2 legs, I’d have us to win it, for sure. But a tight defence and sneak a goal and it’s a cup for them. Can even go to pens easily.
