Pre Match | Liverpool vs. Arsenal | EFL Cup 4th Round | Thursday October 1st 19:45h | Anfield

This is the most important game of the season, well at least it will be until the next one. It’s an absolutely must win game.

Obviously this is not an opinion favoured by anything other than a vanishingly small minority, and one most certainly not endorsed by the Mem.

The more observant will recall that following my previous interlocution with Boudica, on the matter the FL-M-LC-R-CC-W-C-CO-EFL-C Cup, the Mem and I parted company in a mood distinctly unlike that of Tristan and Isolde.

And while, initially, I was all eagerness for the feast of reason and flow of soul that a return bout would ensure, discretion being the better part of valour, I decided against, and chose not to rehearse my proofs, but rather trust that Boudica’s weekend magganeumata would retain sufficient fluence to see our young Redmen home to victory.

I reasoned that there were more than sufficient stricken souls in an about the Lowton household, without me adding to their number. Indeed there are to be found stricken souls in such large numbers in Boudica’s vicinity, it is, indeed, almost impossible to throw a brick without hitting one.

Tonight we settle down for the second visit in a week of elke martita, the “moriarty of the emirates” and his miscreant band of arsenists.

They, no doubt, will be emboldened by the appointment of kevin “no Redman’s” friend as the man in the middle, confident in knowledge that he affords them the best chance of an easy passage to the next round.

So, given that our ranks will almost certainly be depleted by the absence of several senior players:

This game has all the makings of a potential banana skin! :rolleyes: (well someone had to say it):roll_eyes:

I’ll take a scrappy 1-0 win to us. :astonished:

Grujic, Jones, Wilson??? What is that for midfield???

Never a dull moment. I miss Shaq.

Hmmm, a somewhat surprising selection with VVD and Salah starting. Wilson as well getting a game with Shaqiri not even making the bench seems strange.

Thought Salah might play, no international fixtures to worry about

Does Arsenal have a starting XI?

Hopefully this means we received a good offer for Shaqiri and won’t risk him.

Dijk is in, damn.

Bloody Wilson, too.

Shaq not even on the bench, injured again or leaving?

Hopefully that midfield holds tight without big mistakes, Grujic and Jones in a double-six and Wilson off the right. I doubt he’ll play Shaq’s role against Lincoln.

Arsenal look like they’re going with 4 at the back, although in theory, could still be 3. Kolasinac probably playing his final game tonight, maybe they wanted a bit of muscle against Salah.

We are at @indianscouser’s for rava dosa. @RedYank is joining us. You should roll over.
