Looking at the rest of our PL games, we at best getting 20 more points. That is 55 points total. Eighth to Tenth place finish. This match is our best chance for any hardware and Europa Conference is better than no European football. A lot riding on this match.

Very negative look. We should be over 60 points. Anyway,  we are 3 points behind 7th place which should be our goal. Europa League.

Don't think it's too negative. Just realistic.

8th to 10th position is what is likely atm, given the competition around those league positions.

Still an improvement over last season, so not all doom and gloom.

Having said that. I'm a bit optimistic about this cup final, especially with the injuries on the Liverpool bench.

We're winning. Liverpool have injuries and the ref has hair.

Pool are no better than City.

Laughing at the bit about the ref btw. Not us winning.

I think winning is likely here.

Curious to see what effect a first real cup win can have on this nascent group of players we have.

Considering our domestic cup record recently...surely this one has to be a win!!! Lost the last 2 finals in this..lost the FA Cup 3 times..Time for things to change!! Just shame who our opposition in but maybe a bit of luck...

Even with balanced squads and fair refereeing, it's unlikely poch beats klopp to a trophy, he's a born bottler.

Maybe we will get some luck like an early red card to them, but with the aforementioned corruption it will take something major. 

🤞 🙏

We need to end this streak now.

Also the refs will be 200% on pools side like always. Van Dick will be allowed to jump kick Nkunku in the face etc. They will give Klopp silverware at any cost this season.

They’ll still have a competitive XI that will turn up, do the basics right

I forgot that the Scousers play Luton on Wednesday. Luton will go at them the entire match. They can’t send in kids either, race is too tight at the top.
