Winning the league cup, gives us more global exposure and helps to build our reputation as a team regularly competing for and winning trophies. This can help us attract players, gain some glory hunting fans abroad and help the coffers long term. Not saying prioritise over the Conference but there is no need to have to prioritise at this stage.  We can go for both and see where we get.  We are two rounds from the final.  Go for it.

When would our training ground need to be open in time for this game to go ahead?

Also how many players will still need to be in isolation?. I'd say this fixture is 50/50 to go ahead.

It would be nice to know before we set off though

Indeed it would. I suspect it will be played, otherwise we're going to be facing a big backlog problem especially if things get worse as predicted.

The problem with delaying this is that the semi finals are planned for the first two weeks of Jan …

Think there’s talk around one leg semis so could use first of the dates for QF?

If so then hopefully they are played at a neutral game and the team drawn at home first aren't at home.

...a neutral ground would make sense, but the first team out the hat being at home is 50/50, so not a problem!!!

The coaches leave at 2.30 so they’ll have to make a decision before then surely.  Can’t have 20+ coaches getting half way to Liverpool then having to turn back!  I think the decision will be made in the meeting tomorrow, and sadly I think it’ll be postponed.

I would t mind that so much as long as the Liverpool match on the 28th goes ahead. Mrs Gray and myself are flying back for that one.

I love the way we’re discussing where the semi final should be played ……

Now that cup replays are becoming a thing of the past, it seems to me that 2-leg semi-finals have also become something of an anachronism. And with a tin-pot competition such as the EFL Cup, why not play each semi at one of the club's home ground? There would be several ways of deciding which club hosted each game, perhaps based on which ones had the fewer home games in the previous rounds, or some other criterion based on number of bookings or goals scored in previous rounds.

Won't most of our original players testing positive be out of isolation now? Unless there has been a significant number more testing positive since?

Im taking my 8 year old son to this who is really up for it. I'm really hoping it happens. I can't understand why either team would want a postponement. Surely with a league cup game you just want to get it played with the players that are available. Both teams will probably rotate a few in any case. Rescheduling it will also be a nightmare and the covid situation is likely to be no better in a few weeks. I really think it might happen on Wednesday.

Robertson out for them. 

 

Salah looked knackered today. Wonder if they'll play a vastly changed squad. 

Robertson in more like....banned from next 3 Premier League matches (doesn't include EFL cup) so bound to play

Thought that rule changed so it covers all domestic competitions?

Personally hope this goes ahead. Given Liverpool have had very little rest in recent weeks, will likely play a weakened side. And given we’ve had a 10 day rest should be able to put out a fairly decent side. Every chance to get to the Semi finals in this…
 

 

 

                           Ward 

Ricardo - Amartey - Evans - Thomas 

         Tielemans - Ndidi - KDH

      Maddison  -  Daka  -  Barnes
