Capital One Cup Semi Final Draw

First topic message reminder :

Everton vs Man Citeh
Stoke vs Liverpool

1st leg week commencing 4th January
2nd leg week commencing 25th January

Also easily Origi's best game, he's been really poor before today and wasn't glad he was in the starting line up, but he's been good, particularly since Sturridge has gone off.

Forgot about him scoring in Europe, he's been that bloody useless up until tonight I'd blanked him out. Great strike by Ibe, fantastic performance tonight without our more creative players.

Don't think he has, scored earlier in the game, the Moreno shot is gone down as his goal, got a slight touch.

Away game against Newcastle at the weekend....

Hat trick for Origi, great cross.

Wiki has him scoring in Europe, ahh well either way he's had a cracking game the lad.

Only for Lille

f**ks sake it's been a long day.

Jurgen Klopp is making it really difficult for me to carry on disliking Liverpool

This weekend, I can only see a repeat of what happened on the 27th April, 2013 @ St. James' Park

Lol, cocky no more

Stoke XI: Butland, Johnson, Shawcross, Wollscheid, Pieters, Whelan, Cameron, Arnautovic, Afellay, Shaqiri, Bojan

Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Clyne, Toure, Lovren, Moreno, Lucas, Can, Allen, Coutinho, Lallana, Firmino.

Cameron is back in the side after winning his appeal over his Red Card due to Claudio Yacob's pathetic reaction to being tapped on the head.

Coutinho off with a pulled hamstring.

Ibe on not Benteke

Lovren injured too

Lovren off with a pulled hamstring.

James Milner coming on.

Stoke 0-1 Scousers - Jordon Ibe

Epic botching by Joe Allen

Jon Walters on for Geoff Cameron

Played well, considering had to make two changes early on, got a goal and have defended really well.

Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen provided a sensational pass, which allowed team-mate Jordon Ibe to score the only goal in the 1-0 Capital One Cup semi-final victory over Stoke. The 25-year-old provided the 'no-look assist' for Ibe, drawing comparisons with European greats Xavi and Andrea Pirlo.

Daily Mail

Haha, that pass was definitely meant to be a shot

Joe Allen meant to put that in the top corner. Testiment to his lack of ability that it ended up where it did... Saying that he played well last night, visibly exhausted when he came off, ran himself into the ground.

Klopp to approach Carragher and see if he's free this weekend

Everton 1-0 Citeh - Funes Mori

Everton 2-1 Man City FT

Looks like Flanagan could be getting his first start in 20 months tonight, Clyne's got a knock and not shaken it off. Can't see Randall being selected so that only really leaves Flanagan.

FLANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Scousers 0-1 Stoke - Arnautovic

Was offside.

Jesus this game needed a goal

Well as pathetic as this display from Liverpool has been, right now the teams should be shaking hands and players giving interviews. Thanks to a large amount of incompetence, we go on..

If Stoke score, away goals count.

I'm assuming the away goal they've already scored doesn't? So right now it'd go to pens, but if they score, Liverpool have to score twice.

yeah

Ibe playing as if he's been on from the start. Lazy, crap passing, not tracking.

What a waste of a sub

Which considering he already wasted one bringing on Benteke isn't very good for us

Penalty time.

Stoke won their last 5 shootouts so £5 on Liverpool it is.

Liverpool win 6-5 on pens

Crouch & Muniesa miss for Stoke
Emre Can for Liverpool

Didnt see the game, but some good penalties there.

Do love a good shoot out as a neutral.

Woop

Didn't deserve it based on that performance, but great to be in a final again.

Liverpool Everton final would be good.

God that performance was painful to watch. Second game in a row now Liverpool have came out with more than their performance deserved. Screw it though, wins a win!!!!

F*ck 'em, their goal was offside and they didn't score anything else so the LEGITIMATE goal we scored in the first leg seals it for me. Mark Hughes banging on that they were unlucky...screw you Sparky, your man was half a yard offside.

What a goal Ross Barkley

Citeh 1-1 Everton - Fernandinho with the deflection

Ross Barkley is having a sensational game.
