You remind me of his last result and when I check his last five matches. Now I am thinking 3 or 4 goals, Liverpool, to score. 

I picked 1:3
This is a game of “big numbers”
Liverpool is playing a fantastic season up to this stage, but there will happen that will lose some points and recieve a few goals, is written in the stars

Last result 1:1 is from 4 Feb 2019. In this period, many teams play draw against Liv, they loose title because of these results.
Maybe I am wrong, but I really think that West Ham can't score against Liverpool, not today and not this team. I watched his last game against Leicester, which they lost 4:1.

Not necessarily. There's about 30 players in the squad so he could have sent either a b-team or split them evenly so you've got two decent teams rather than send a bunch of schoolboys. I think even a b-team of their current squad would have won or at least done better than the kids. As for the cup itself, sure, it's not the most coveted but the Super Cup or whatever it's called isn't really either. Just another cash grab for FIFA really. I doubt people will be mentioning the win a few years from now, but couple it with multiple other trophies they would.


I hope he just made those comments in the heat of the moment after being annoyed by having to play yet another game because Klopp not turning up to the game if he can is pretty disrespectful. I'd give him a pass if he's got a vacation booked or something. I wonder what the players think or whether some of them actually want to play it. I know there's a big break so some of them might be going on vacations as well but I'm sure there's a lot of players who would be happy to play.


I didn't realise the last game was a draw. I was tempted to go for 1-1 on this but I'll probably still go for the narrow Liverpool win. A lot of people seem to think Liverpool will stuff them but I'm not so sure. Guess it depends on the team that gets put out.

Today we have the postponed match West Ham vs. Liverpool
Make your predictions on time

The last result was 1-1, today I’m confident in Liverpool’s handicap win and will bet on that too
(-0.5 handicap)
There should be over 2.5 scored goals as well

This is a middle week worth of watch match 

Well, for the Carabao cup we had to choose between that one and the World champions. I prefer the world champions because that's the one we never won before and Carabao cup is in my opinion the least important trophy of the season. I don't mind at all that we gave a low priority to it.

Regarding the FA cup, I have mixed feelings. We are playing at home and we could have decided to go with backup players who are in need of games anyway, they would have probably gotten us through. I kinda dislike the situation in which Klopp sits at home and lets Neil Critchley lose heavily as well. I think that giving players a rest is deserved, ok, but Klopp should be in the dugout. Shrewsbury deserved it with the comeback, this is really disrespectful to them.

Yeah, you're right, usually I leave my predictions very late. Once I almost forgot about games and left prediction 1 minute before kick-off .
I still not decided about tomorrow game. I'm thinking about 0:3 or 1:3 LFC win.

Could be a bluff to throw people off  . Maybe they put them in and change them before the game (as many probably change their mind last minute anyway). A few people always seem to leave the picks right until the last minute before they put them in as well. BitcoinSupremo, Avirunes & LTU_btc all haven't done them yet.


The Carabao cup was even more winnable and a win would have taken them in to the semis to face Leicester. I know it's not as prestigious as the FA but it's a trophy they could have easily won and now City are probably gonna win that.


The treble is far more prestigious and difficult to do than the Super Cup. If my calculations are correct then Liverpool need to win 11 out of their remaining 15 games to equal Man City's 100 point record.

@buwaytress - I sorted myself a ticket for the Chelsea game last night (it’s the game we will get the trophy, providing we don’t collapse).

Normally go with my brother or my girl but I didn’t get one on my fan card so having to use a ticket tout & they’re charging a lot. So my girl can stay in the hotel & I’ll go to the game on my own.

I can’t miss the chance to see us lift it.

Regarding a potential CL Final if you go to any beach resort it’s probably £400 each for a week including food & drink (all inclusive) it’s really nice & then you can get a cheeky 1 day flight to Istanbul

I’ve been to Turkey twice but I can’t remember where, would have to ask the woman. It’s really hot though!

I just looked online and you're actually a genius. My partner might kill me if I go ahead though, since we've got a big trip already planned in summer to visit family after 3 years, but, it actually even looks sort of doable for a long weekend... but perhaps better to do the Anfield visit instead. I really wish I could sort dates out cause I want to go badly haha.

@hilarious: yeah I don't want to second guess Klopp, he got us to where we are and he knows better than most the weight of expectations... I do wish we'd have gone through cause the FA cup is definitely winnable, and yeah a possible double or treble will make this season incredible. But okay, maybe he does actually secretly (and so do I) want to get that invincibles record -- which will be talked about forever (even the Gooner's one will of course but for Liverpool to do it the way they will if the do, gods all the ifs haha)...

I'm not sure which I'd take. The treble (which yeah if you include the Super Cup and CWC makes it even more special)?

Or breaking the points total and being the new invincibles and possibly being the team to talk about for many lifetimes? I mean, it's silly to dream of a 112 points haul that will probably never ever be broken, but if you kept the first 11 fresh as possible, it's "only" 15 wins away ha ha ha.

I kinda hate that I'm dreaming all this now haha. But bloody hell, I'm entitled, aren't I? Anfield already gave in and started singing, so why not enjoy =p

^  Lol.  You weren't kidding there.  Just made my pick and saw you pick 2 - 2. 

Examplens picked 0 - 3...  And judging from how hot he's been running, that could be the right pick. 

You never know, football can be unpredictable but obviously Liverpool are big favourites to win this match & rightly so.

He should have really pushed to have that rescheduled. It's obviously ridiculous to play two games within two days or whatever it was, but I really don't think Liverpool should be giving anything up though. I've said this before, but I think if the PL is the only thing Liverpool win this season then it will be a bit of a disappointment to me (though not taking anything away from that achievement especially when they haven't won the league in ages). People will forget the league win over time but probably not if they go unbeaten all season, break points records and win multiple trophies. People still talk about the invincible Arsenal team and the doubles and trebles won by Man United and Liverpool should be aiming to join them or even surpass their achievements.


Just go see whoever does play. A CL final is still going to be a decent spectacle.


Well they could have even gone for the quadruple had they not blown the Carabao. Maybe even the quintuple if you count the UEFA Super Cup or whatever it's called  .


I don't think this will be a walk-over for Liverpool. West Ham haven't been playing great for sure, but they're fighting to stay out of relegation. This could be one of those games where Liverpool take their foot off the the gas. With that being said, I'll probably still play the narrow away win but a draw is really tempting also.


It's silly not playing for this IMO. It looks like there's ample time before the replay on the 4th of Feb and their next game which is on the 15th in the PL. Where the semis are played shouldn't really matter either. They've got such an easy run in their next lot of games as well (except for Athletico in the CL) that they can easily field their best team for this (or their second best but not a bunch of kids).

Remember folks,  there’s a match on tomorrow
West Ham v Liverpool
Don’t think there’ll be any argument about the result  Just who’s gonna pick the correct score.
Good luck all

I mean I'd like to see them go unbeaten but I don't think they could do it.  Klopp's squads do really run, so fatigue will set in sooner or later...  Esp. when the CL KO stages start. 

Yup, I saw that. He promised that rest to the players a while ago so I support it. I also agree on the FA's decision on Wembley semifinal, it is really ridiculous.

I am kinda sorry we did not win it yesterday, I want the cup too. The league is practically in the bag and I'm fucking hungry for trophies - all of them.
However, I think our kids will have a chance so maybe we can still progress to the next round. Priorities must be the league and CL but I'd still like to be in the cup too.

I think Klopp would too, we tried with both Salah and Firmino yesterday.

Haha!
Yeah, I’m not too bothered about the FA Cup these days. Klopp isn’t either hence his team selections, did you see his comments post match? He said none of his 1st team squad will play in the replay & also Neil Critchley will take charge, Klopp won’t even be there

We have our eyes on bigger prizes.

It’s the FA’s fault, when they started having the semi finals at Wembley they devalued the competition themselves.

Hahah, this is some next level planning
Smart, based on this year's performance (excluding the Lovren brainfart yesterday) the chance of Liverpool reaching the final again is really high.

I watch all match they deserve this draw as they play very good in second half I am thinking this year we are going to watch double by Liverpool and Manchester City as city is good in local cups and Liverpool is going for EPL and CL double who is agree?

Treble, you mean EPL, Champions league and FA Cup? It was Man Utd back in 98/99 season.
BTW, Liverpool just played draw 2:2 with League One team Shrewsbury, despite that they were leading 2:0.
