KP if we were to end up say 6th in the league would tonight's result be such a bad thing.
We won this cup last year and it didn't save KD's job or improve our league form.
I'm disappointed but I'm not gutted. I think Sunday is a much bigger game I don't agree that Sunday is much bigger game, if it was the champions league final then yes of course I would agree but 3 points vs getting knocked out of a competition. They are both important and we should be winning games especially at Anfield against inferior teams.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

It looks like there are no teams inferior to LFC anymore. Last season, despite taking 4 pts from us, they were always below us in the league we finished 8th and they finished 11th, so definitely inferior to us. This year we bought arguably their best player, their second best player went to Spurs and they have a new manager, unproven in England. How did they end up not being inferior to us despite us recruiting a much much better manager, you tell me? I am sorry to say that I haven't seen any improvement from last year so far, now we have been knocked out at HOME as the defending champions before even getting to the quarter finals, but, probably BR does rate this tournament (which is fine for me as long as we improve in the league). So all hopes for the week-end game that we have no option but to win to improve our current abysmal position.

What a terrible game and performance, I'm sorry but BR results are shocking....
We must bring back Rafa Benitez, we need some tactics apart from this crappy ticy taxa...
When will BR realise we don't have the talent to play like Barca At least we can concentrate on the league now LOL ....Michu £2m/ Borini £10m ..Laughs coming thick and fast at Anfield cheers FSG. If we had been linked to Michu in the summer, you, I and I suspect 98% of the rest on here would have been saying "who the [oops] is that? Why are we signing nobodies?". I know Borini hasn't been a raging success but hind sight is a wonderful thing. And he's been played out left not through the middle. It was a lot of money but he was at a top Italian club and an Italian international so not a huge risk on paper.

So all hopes for the week-end game that we have no option but to win to improve our current abysmal position. I would argue that had Rodgers been given the same backing as Dalglish, we would be a lot better right now. We haven't improved as yet but I believe if he is allowed to buy a striker in January instead of being [oops] over with regard to one of his main targets, that we will make big improvements. He is FSG's man so it'd now time to back him financially as they did with £100m man Dalglish. Then I'll judge him objectively against the last manager. And I also can't see how anyone else would do better than this with this same squad.

They are both important and we should be winning games especially at Anfield against inferior teams. The problem with having a weak/shallow squad is that we simply MUST prirotise the competitions we are in. By fielding a half decent team in the league cup it means we will be a little bit weaker in our next league game. The league should be top priority, followed by the UEFA cup - we need to keep a decent profile in europe if we want to attract the players that might make us competitive again. That won't happen by having a decent run in the league cup. Yesterday's team should have been much weaker than it was. I'd prefer it if I didn't recognise a single person in that team yesterday.

I thought you were against resting players I am. I just don't want us to risk injuries for important games by partaking in the poxy capital one cup.
