Expecting the bench to win us the match :sweat_smile:

I wonā€™t lie, this is the one competition I give zero FUCKS aboutā€¦

with jones or whomever starting at RB i think Klopp agrees

I always find it amusing that they show fewer games in the UK than internationally

Whoever the right back is, I think itā€™s fair to assume that itā€™s in theory at best. Theyā€™ll spend 90% of the game at CM.

Will in all probability be endo staying back to maintain the back 3 of sorts and Jones / Tsimikas going forward when they can

Leicester having Pereira and Justin at full back in the Championship is wild.

Injuries have really curtailed both players, theyā€™ve each had some seriously good runs of form in the past.

How does that theory work out ?

its expensive, though, to go to all the matches, especially away

Iā€™ll have to pay around 35 inr for this match.

People who will fill up a stadium would anyway fill the stadiums up.

had to google inr firstā€¦

Think it will be Jones at RB, coming in alongside Endo in midfield when weā€™re on the ball.

Or maybe Tsimi goes into midfield and Endo stays?

Klopp probably gave Ljinders a chance of seeing whether these tactics work. If they donā€™t , heā€™ll change it back.

Leicester with one eye on the league it looks like, theyā€™ve rotated heavily. Pereira and McAteer are really the only guys who regularly start - Akgun has been in and out of the XI since signing and Iheanacho has come off the bench more often than not.

Interesting player to watch is Casadei - he signed for Chelsea from Inter Milan last summer. Played on loan at Reading last season and has been impressive for the Chelsea U21 squad when he has played at that level.

yeah, i guess these kind of games are good to experiment with.

We are supposed to go to a league 1 match if Liverpool arenā€™t on TV.

Not sure how long this will last to be honest, the Football Leagueā€™s new deal with Sky effectively means every midweek game in the football league is available by a stream, that also includes this cup so effectively all games will be live next season in this competition. Also all games that are played in the football league during the international break will also be live as well as 6 games from the three leagues kicking off on Saturday at 12.30 being live.

Any games outside of 3pm on a Saturday will have to be in a new PL deal youā€™d expect with those Sunday slots being highly sought after due to it.

Canā€™t really continue like this, Iā€™d also expect the FA Cup to move somewhat to this, at one point for a season or two they were actually showing all the Sunday ties not broadcast via the FA Player.

Expect La Liga TV or Sky to break open the floodgates through their coverage of 3pm games abroad and once that happens this will go when Sky do their next football league deal.

Just seen this, seems like all Sunday games will be shown live in the new deal.

Iā€™ve also posted this in the PL as it should go elsewhere anyhow.
