Well, there's the derby moved.

Man United v Liverpool
Chelsea v Leicester
Wolves v Coventry
Man City v Newcastle

Man City are the only way Liverpool don't win this trophy and vice versa.

Their supporters are so fucking lucky.

Imagine if we played the kids in a cup fifth round and had three goals from 18 year olds - we’d be talking about it for years but for them it’s just par for the course.

Cunts.

Tbf they rarely amount to anything. See Ben Woodburn.

Liverpool scorers Koumas and Danns. Think we might be hearing a lot more of those two lads. 😏

Hopefully they'll all be embroiled in a scandal which will ruin their careers before they begin.

They’ll both be sold to Bournemouth for £30m each before doing the sum of fuck all and disappearing into nonleague

He'll have medals, millions and a World Cup but still feels like a waste of a career.

Sadly, they've got a core of players with real potential coming through. Going to either save them a load of money, or at least cover FFP off for them continuing to buy. If FFP is even an thing after August.

Personally think people have gone massively overboard about the whole thing, because it's Liverpool.

You'd expect them to beat a Championship side at home with a few kids out there, and Chelsea had enough chances to win the final 3 times over and just bottled it a bit.

They've got a few decent kids, like most Prem teams have. That's literally it, but the Liverpool myth-making machine has been out in full force.

Put them up against Prem teams in important games and they will struggle, which is why Klopp never plays them and has only played them when they've got a few injuries and loads of games.

Wasn't Chelsea's average age of the starting line up about 2 years younger than Liverpool? Also Chelsea have a few injuries too. It is a weird love in that the media have with them.

There was a tweet that showed that their starting lineup and the lineup after all the substitutions was still younger than what Liverpool had on the pitch.

The narrative will always be skewed as BD1 mentioned to favour Liverpool.

I'd do a doping test on Kaveh - always looks like he is transcending to outer space.

I saw the starting lineup was, but think Liverpools finishing team was younger?

Either way, both have got a lot more talent coming through[Bought or developed] than we could dream of. Success/Money perpetuates success/money.

Souness was right about Pogba.

Could have been one of the very best.

What a waste of a career.
