The Capital One Cup thread 2014/15

[Hobo]

It was a 3-5-2 by the end of the game. Might have been more 3-6-1 in the first half.

[Colly]

I'd be happy with our team were it not for lack of Janmaat and a keeper. Reckon we'll get beat but the dream of actually seeing one of our cup games is keeping me going.

Given Newcastle's run in cup competitions, if we make it to the semis, both legs will be played away.

[Jimmy]

I would love to get into the semi-final, but I'm worried we're going to run Harry Kane into the ground. Strong enough line-up, though. Hope Lamela and Soldado get second half appearances, both need something to get their confidence back up.

[Baddar]

I'm no hair expert, but Sterling looks much better now.

[Jimmy]

Bad mistake by Newcastle's young keeper means we're 1 up, feel for him. Nice finish from Bentaleb of all people though!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Bentaleb scored just a few days after we scored a corner?! What the hell is happening?!

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Sterling puts Liverpool a goal up.

Looks like we could have a massive upset on our hands here.

[Jimmy]

This was from a corner as well!!!

Also, so far, Chadli looks rusty since injury, Stambouli looks great, and Rose is doing okay, but so happy Davies is our first choice for now. Actually hope Lamela comes on later for Eriksen to play as a number 10. I think the position would suit him, and I want Eriksen to save his legs for the weekend

[GA!]

What's Liverpool's formation atm? (I didn't see the Man Utd game)

In a line on their knees praying to God for the game to end?

[Nerf]

Markovic makes it 2-0. Beautiful strike.

The Spurs-Newcastle game has been really entertaining so far. Newcastle getting forward on the break and Spurs attacking with speed and some great movement.

[Jimmy]

think we should've just about had a pen there

[Jimmy]

we just did to Newcastle what they did to us earlier this year!

[GoGo Yubari]

I'm so glad this didn't go the way of that West Ham tie last year.

[Nerf]

Sterling again, 3-0.

[Nerf]

Dan Gosling, 3-1.

[Jimmy]

Harry Kane can't stop scoring! Two academy products scoring in one night (and another one with an assist, yes Townsend did something!) isn't a bad return.

[Jimmy]

Fucking hell, we're playing well! Soldado makes it 4, that's a proper poacher's goal! Why couldn't we do this when Newcastle were last here?

[Colly]

Our paper thin squad had a few better bits of tracing paper that day.
