Is Klopp manager for this one or is Pep taking the team
I suppose it depends on the composition of the team.
For me I think we’ll be using mostly the fringe players who’ve not had as many minutes so far with perhaps 1 or 2 under 23’s involved either starting or from the bench, so I would expect Klopp.
Only makes sense for Pep if it’s predominantly under 23 players
To be honest I think Klopp should be in the dugout regardless.

I think they did something similar with the league cup last season.
Unless I’m much mistaken, no.
Neil Critchley took charge when we played a team that was entirely our youth players, when the first team were away at the Club World Cup. That made sense since he was in charge of them then. Apart from that, Jürgen has taken charge of our League Cup matches.

It will always be the Milk Cup to me … quite a cool name when you think about how commercialised football is now !

If we are playing a team full of kids it should possibly be named “Haribo Cup”!

Critchley also took the side when we played Shrewsbury at home because Jurgen and the lads were off on a pre-planned bender.
Agreed on this, and the Carabao cup is the last on the list. That said, I really would love a deep run in FA Cup this season. I still value it and see it as a cool trophy to have in the case.
I also believe Norwich will likely take this match seriously, given their rough start in the league.
EDIT: just saw Farke say that Cantwell not playing due to personal reasons.

Like this team but with Kaide Gordon in for Jota. RB not Gomez best position but has done well there before and needs minutes.

Jones and Kelleher confirmed starters for tomorrow’s Kangaroo cup game.
I was hoping Neco would be fit for this one but looks like he is missing out.

We have a big enough squad to field a competitive if not somewhat strong team. And have a few players who need playing time.
We May need these fringe players ready to step up when needed. So going deeper in cups is beneficial.
Not going to pick an 11 but Nat and Konate should get the nod… But as long as we are in the tournament we should aim to win it.
I meant Pep did the press conference.
If Gordon starts tomorrow it costs the club 100k. He probably be on the bench so 
If it means Mo, Sadio and Jota are nowhere near the squad, let alone the pitch it’ll be worth every penny. Hoping the Polish lad makes the bench too.
I would add Virgil, Joel, Trent and Andy to that.
