League Cup Quarter Final
Villa Park, Tuesday 17th December KO 7.45pm.
-
D 1-1 at FT.
-
We will smash them into oblivion. 2-0. Dean to thump his chest after the game to Purslow
-
Villa on pens.
-
Will be low key on the terraces and low-key on the pitch but we will win. 2-1.
-
Kind of dreading this one, if we have a below par performance against a group of kids, it'll be a real kick in the nuts before the weekend.
-
I can see us winning 3-1 and a place in the Semi Finals.
-
So can I

Will be low key on the terraces and low-key on the pitch but we will win. 2-1.
A re-run if the Wolves tie then?
-
3-1 win.
-
This is a game we can not win. if we wiin you was playing boys and if we lose YOU WAS PLAYING BOYS
-
Liverpool virtually never lose penalty shootouts. Get it won in the first half, no fucking around please, Villa.

Still. If we win...

They lose more of them than we do.

1-0.

Extensive and deep research in google for Guess The Crowd has proved this assertion to be true.
-
It will be cold, dull and 2-1 to Villa
-
1 -0 home win.
Huff and puff to 90+3 (30 secs before extra time) and el Ghazi bundles one in with a diving header that goes in off his back, from a corner.
-
2-1 us.
-
should and could have been an exciting occasion but the club messed up big time with the pricing
Wolves all over again but with lot's of blue seats on show
1-0
-
4-0 home win, nailed on.
-
This is the perfect game to get Chester back into the team, it's a lose lose situation for us, we will be expected to win and well. I'd go with the players who won't be in the team for our biggest game of the season on Saturday.
Nyland
Elmo Chester Konsa Taylor
Luiz
Jota Hourihane Lansbury Trezeguet
Kodija
Subs:
Kalanic
Guilbert
Hause
Davis
Grealish
Wesley
El Ghazi
-
i'd give Wesley a game, personally. If he can't bully the Liverpool paper boys and rediscover his scoring boots, there's probably no hope.
-
I'd rest as many as possible I think.
I'd have Heaton as captain.
Elmo Konsa Hause Taylor
Luiz Lansbury Hourihane
Archer Kodjia O'Hare

O'Hare is at Coventry on loan, poor bugger.

Villa are 3/10 to win the game. Liverpool's odds are 48/10.
-
I don't think we could've had a better opportunity to stop this losing-type-nonsense. If our senior pros can't beat an Anfield juniors & infants 11, we may as well play a load of our own kids for the rest of the season & wave the white flag of surrender. Shirley we won't screw this up?! :o
-
How different is Liverpool's side going to be to the one that beat Arsenal in the last round?
-

Very. I think only the goalie from their starting 11 will be playing against us, and possibly Brewster if he recovers from a knock.
Edit: Looking it up and Sepp van den Berg, Ki-Jana Hoever and Harvey Elliott may play against us and then fly out to Qatar.
-
We will be able to rest McGinn and Jack at least and maybe try some different tactics as to be honest I dont see this game as very high priority, other than to get through unscathed and have a bit of confidence, as we really need to beat Southampton on Saturday. (yep, thats stating the bleeding obvious ::))
That said, it'll be 1-0, but not sure who to.

Prices have been reduced for ST holders and those of us that have already purchased will get a food/drink voucher
Aston Villa is delighted to announce an exclusive offer to Season Ticket Holders for our Carabao Cup quarter final tie with Liverpool at Villa Park on Tuesday December 17th.
For a 72-hour period, Season Ticket Holders who have not secured a seat for the game can purchase a ticket for any part of the stadium for just £20 per adult, subject to availability.
As a gesture of goodwill to those Season Ticket Holders who have already bought at the previously arranged prices, they will receive a £10 concourse catering refreshment voucher to be redeemed at any of the remaining matches at Villa Park this season.
The decision to modify prices for Season Ticket Holders comes after Liverpool FC have made clear their intentions in the competition.
Our twin priorities are to fill Villa Park for this game and offer our most loyal supporters – our Season Ticket Holders - the best possible value. We hope Season Ticket Holders who have already bought their match tickets for the game understand that the decision to modify prices is not taken lightly and has been made due to the unique nature of this fixture.
Season Ticket Holders who have not yet bought a seat for the game should contact the club in the normal manner. Those Season Ticket Holders who have already purchased their ticket for the game will receive their refreshment voucher, which can be used to buy any food or drink within the stadium, by post this month.
-
i.e. We cocked this one up and have hardly sold any tickets. Please, please come, we really need you.
-
Giving it a swerve and have given my tickets away. Last dads' five aside of the year, and the pub we go to afterwards are laying on a bit of food for us. Would rather that than watch two reserve teams in a half empty stadium in the freezing cold.
-

me too - give him 60 mins to get a goal for some confidence If hes still shit , get him on the hot dog stand.
-
Looking forward to being at the game as always.
It's obvs decent of the club to make the offer they have, however I hope they make a better job of putting the refreshment vouchers in the post than claret member cards. I'm still waiting on one within my family since last June!

The Villa are laying on food AND your lads could get a game. What's hhe difference?
-
Usually delusionally optimistic, but think this ones a hiding to nothing. Our second string struggled to beat wolves kids, which doesn’t necessarily bode well for this. I think if smith makes too many changes we might be open to an upset. I for one want to get to a semi final of one of the major domestic cups, no matter what the league form. I would play a strong team for 60 odd minutes to try and get a decent lead and like others have said perhaps a confidence boosting goal for Wesley. Saying that I think McGinn has lent played well since last liverpool game so I would leave him out for a rest and I would play grealish

we'll never hear the end of it if we lose this.
Which we will.
2-0.
Wesley red card.

Elmo Konsa Hause Taylor

O'Hare is at Coventry on loan, poor bugger.
Also highly unlikely to feature Archer, unfortunately.

The scousers are over 7/1 for tomorrow

He’s on the bench for the U23s tonight
-
Would like Chester and Jota to play, to try to get them up to match speed.
Think McGinn and Grealish need a rest.
-

But we want to win the tie, don't we?

McGinn is to be rested had been playing with an injury and has been having painkilling injections and not taking a full part in training sessions.
We all know now why he's not that same player we love.
Good it's come out and can give him a rest.
-

Yes, that was how I roughly translated that statement too.

Have Chester grealish and wes on bench for this one mixed with some youngsters
-
This is the proverbial banana skin game of all proverbial banana skin games. Some of our players need to play themselves back into form so I’d play as strong team as possible but rest a few obvious players such as SJM and Jack (probably still have him on the bench though). Wesley needs to play...if he can’t score against these then fuck knows when he will do, and I doubt him playing tonight will affect his performance against Southampton.
-
Took the words I was going to type there KRS- massive potential banana skin for us this one. We should win it, should... but we just seem to make very hard work of what on paper, should be straightforward games. I’m backing us to win it inside the 90’ as the bookies have Liverpool 7-1. But you just never know in situations like this with Villa!
-

By youngsters, if you mean the U23's, they played last night
-
Come on Villa boys, let's do these tonight! It doesn't matter who's out on the field for them (that's their choice) we need to get one over them. A win for us will show that Liverpool has been defeated! A semi final awaits so let's get the job done! UTV!!
-
If we were playing Liverpool's first team tonight then I wouldn't care if we lost, as we're playing their kids though we have to win to avoid embarrassment. To win this trophy we're probably going to have to beat Man City along the way and that isn't going to happen. They'd destroy us over two legs, as would Leicester.
-
Oh dear qv!! You must be cleaning up at the bookies with your forecasts. Whatever you do don't go applying for any marketing or pr. roles at VP any time soon.
Enjoy the game!

I think this could be a big score like a 5-10 goals . Their under 23 haven't won in December and lost 4-0 last time they played away on 6th December
Recent form no win in last 3 matches for Liverpool under 23 team.
December form:
1-1 away at Huddersfield
1-1 failing to beat Chelsea under 23 playing against 10 men for last 20 mins
And their last away match was 4-0 loss to spurs on 6th December.
These 'wonder kids' have a -8 goal difference sitting unremarkably in 7th out of 12th.
The only wonder there is will be wondering how many ever play regularly at premier league level (for ant club let alone Liverpool or Villa)
Quite frankly for some of these Liverpool players tonight this will be the biggest match they will ever get to play and biggest stage.
The only upset will be these kids
I'll take 6-1 and 6-0 at 50/1
I hoping 9-0 just to make those Scouse weep.
Hmm its not as simple as that though. If we gi with that attitude we run thr risk of another bradford humiliation
-
I doubt very much indeed if he has told them that.
-
Hopefully this will be the last time a team competing in the Club World Cup is allowed to enter a team into the League Cup in the same season. Crazy situation. Cannot believe how much of a banana skin this is for us. It shouldn't be thus.
-
I'd give Wesley a game, personally.
But we want to win the tie, don't we?
I'd give him a game too, in our reserves.... for a month or so.
-
This would be a bad one to lose!

Get the confidence levels up for a few of them hopefully
3-1 to us, Wes with 2 and Hourihane free kick
