Batman Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 if we keep them at nil and get a shot on target in each half, THAT would be progress cannot believe people said a 0-0 (with no shot on target) was a positive a while ago. seriously, 1-3 to liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanRG Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 Keep a clean sheet and anything's possible. A lot will depend on the team Klopp fields, but I can't imagine him going too easy on this. The star attackers will at least be on the bench in case things aren't going their way, so we've got to keep our tempo up and not let them seize the initiative (if they ever lost it in the first place!)

JRM Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 Couldn't be less up for a semi final. Up the Saints Still plenty of seats available at the Chapel end, quite sad really we should be absolutely buzzing for this raring to get at them and give 'em a game but despite the cheap tickets there's a huge amount of apathy amongst our fan base. I kind of get that after so many fixtures already this season with disappointment of Europe and Christmas period but even so there is reason to be hopeful, I've seen Liverpool have some shocking defending this season the Bournemouth game in particular stands out plus they will have one eye on Man Utd game. Matip, Henderson, Sturrridge and Courtinho may all be injured plus Mane is away. Let's go for it, I didn't expect us to win at Arsenal so you never know our name might be on the cup.

Mr Biscuits Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 I have no intention whatsoever of paying good money to watch us get torn apart by Liverpool. Playing like we are, expect another game like The one against Spurs - ineffective midfield, non-existent strikers and a clueless manager flapping his arms on the sidelines while they have loads of time with the ball and spend the game camped in our half. Anyone who thinks we're going to get anything from this game wants their head looking at. I would absolutely love to be proved wrong but I can't see it happening.

the wedge Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 Breaks me to say it, but I can't see us getting anything from this leg. Never know with the cup, but it's going to be a monumental challenge. I went to the Brentford/Eastleigh game today in the away end and despite being outplayed and outgunned, the Eastleigh boys (and most of them were just that) never stopped singing and supporting the side. Even after being 5-1 down at HT. Need that mentality from our fans this week. Support the players, sing loudly and proudly and let's see what happens.

AK Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 I must admit I'm apprehensive about how this will go and even if we get a decent result I'm sure they'll just role out the big guns at Anfield and get whatever result they need. However there is no way I would miss this no matter how slim our chances. It's a ****ing cup semi final !Hopefully it will be payback for 31 years ago at White Hart Lane. I'm not a fan of Puel's but we've all got to be 100% behind Saints squad and manager for this one to give ourselves the best chance of success.
