fightoffyour Posted October 31, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) They’re probably going to rig it to help Liverpool out somehow aren’t they? Having said that, they have CL midweek the week before that, and the week before that is midweek PL. Afterwards comes Christmas and New Year PL and FA cup fixture congestion, so there’s really no where to move this fixture to, unless a weekend PL game is postponed for both teams - but Liverpool already have their PL match vs West Ham postpones due to the Club World Cup so that seems unlikely.

Home match too. I think we can be happy with the draw. If we get through, any of the semi final options are going to be tough but hey let's get there first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holteend1982 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Liverpool will play reserves anyway they got far to much fixture congestion with league, Cup, champions league and that club World Cup coming up 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Good draw, winnable but it really doesnt matter in the grand scheme because greedy Guardiola will go full strength all the way and watch City batter Oxford 10-0 before winning it 3yrs running 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WakefieldVillan Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I think best (realistic) scenario would be a semi final line up of us, Everton, Man City and Man Utd with the latter two playing each other in the semi final and us facing Utd in a one-off final. Having said that, I think a Villa v Leicester semi would be great games! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitzlsperger_12 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 With their fixture congestion, it's either gonna be a young team or a mix of experience and youth. So we have a great chance of progressing to the Semi's imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted October 31, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2019 We should ask to pull out so everyones second team can stay in! Who are we to get in the way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) That draw was so rigged. But bring the Scousers on. My Liverpool mate reckons they might pull out. Can't see that Edited October 31, 2019 by Demitri_C 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Good draw, they will play a severely weakened team I'd imagine. Would rather face that than a motivated league one side to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 Only solution I can see for Liverpool is moving their watford game to a Friday night and playing the cup game on Tues or Monday but that will involve us having to move our league game on Fri night also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted October 31, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2019 Liverpool schedule for December. They’ll either forfeit (unlikely!) or we end up playing in January, which is probably more likely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see that Man utd pulled out the fa Cup a few years ago, they are basically scheduled to play every 3/4 days from the end of November until with our game on the 17th of December and the club World Cup game on the 18th so I genuinely can't see how they're going to fit it in even with moving some games around.
