Liverpool & Pensioners could go either way, me I am hoping for a modern day miracle down in SM1 2EY.

I know our owners are not that bright, but this is scary stuff.

But boy do I want them to win!!!!

The annoying thing for Liverpool fans is they do have the quality to beat Chelsea. The problem is Klopp and his players seem to have forgot we don't have a winter break here.

Sorry Snowy...can't agree on this...... Liverpool do NOT have the quality even on a bench ~ to beat Chelsea...it would be tactics.....even flying Mane home from the AFCoN by private jet isn't going to bring them upto Chelsea's squad.
~ imo
~please read other / earlier, posts that explain it more clearly.

And, Klopp didn't know we had a continual season here

Come on Snowy... WUMing is for the worried

**snowy25** · January 31st, 2017, 05:23 AM

You maybe right about that. Lets not forget though that earlier in the season Liverpool did beat Chelsea away so they have shown they can beat them. However on current form you would have to say that its likely to be a Chelsea win tonight.

Nice to see Watford being the beneficiaries of the Sutton Utd fear factor.

What an ordinary round

Chelsea slip up - Costa missing a penalty to win it - 1-1 at Anfield

All to play for and Arsenal & Spurs flopped - de ja vu

Only interest for neutrals now would seem to be will Leicester get relegated
2 points above the drop zone with Swansea rejuvenated & Palace finally winning a game.

Cresswell and Obiang looking for moves away and Fonte taking a liking to Sterling's pins. Lets make life a little easier for City, even if we were chasing shadows.
Feghouli, when City have the ball you are supposed to drop back and help the full back, not stand in the middle of the park thinking how good that Sane is, as he runs rings round Byram.

**mitchspur** · February 1st, 2017, 11:03 PM

Victor!!! You'd have done good business getting rid of Cresswell.
He was awful tonight!!!

Still,.....one goal improvement since the FA Cup!!!

Cresswell shoulda got more stick when he came on with England 2-0 against Spain and they broke down right twice in the last three minutes to get a 2-2 draw!!!

Its 12-1 on the season.

Cresswell has not been the same since he returned from injury in October.

I rarely watch England and would rather not have our players near the set up, most who wear the shirt these days are an embarrassment.
