Jürgen's pre-match presser:

Substitutes: Myhill, Yacob, Rondon, Phillips, Burke, McClean, Hegazi

“It is important, in football as in life, to treat situations in context. In the same way none of us, inside the team environment, thought that beating Man City meant the rest of the season would be a parade, we know after losing to Swansea that all the good work isn’t thrown into a ditch either. That hard work and the solid base we have given ourselves is still there."

Jürgen Klopp

No Robertson, hmm, well let's hope the is a bit more movement and pace tonight

Strong line up. Taking the Cup seriously. Seemed to indicate Sturridge might be involved but should have enough to see off the Baggies...said that the other day.

Seems strange a game so late on a Saturday night just as well I've got a few bottles in

To celebrate hopefully

I’m fine with the rotation as Robbo has basically played every minute at LB since early December. However, I don’t want Klopp making this more complicated than it needs to be. Robbo is his left back and Moreno is a squad player. It’s that simple.

Since it's been 5 days since the last match, you might reckon the match for making changes is Tuesday, to assure the first choice XI is fresh for the Spurs game. That doesn't mean there will be 8 changes for Tuesday mind, but there might be a few.

My main question re this team is Sturridge. Does this mean he is off?

Gone strong I like it about time we won some silverware.

Not going to be cup tied if he goes to Italy. Coutinho gone,Sturridge going..leaves us a bit light on quality up front. Salah will have to play out of his skin in the second half of the season.

Running Salah into the ground, not recruiting to replace Phil. What will Mo Salah make of that when and if Barca or Real or even PSG come calling. Stay here and run yourself into the ground or play for a much less intense club and probably more dosh..

Looks like it to me if any future plans involved him surely would have made bench . Another 'injury' I have doubts over his time here is over

Moreno and TAA will add plenty of width and pace!! Will be interesting to see if we can break these wankers down.

Would have been nice to see Woodburn get some minutes off the bench.

Hopefully Sturridge is on his way, but his absence doesn't mean that.

Injured again? Or, just that Klopp can't stand him?

We know the latter, so probably just that.

Agree. Was hoping for that also.

Surprised not to see more changes made, Jürgen taking it pretty seriously this year.
With WB injuries, we 'should' do it with the side put out.
If struggling, have Ings/Solanke to throw up top, would use Ings first. No Sturridge in the squad, he's either on his way, or he should be on his way.

Just get it done lads, please..

Strong line up from the boss & certainly showing intent and respect to a great cup & one I've always loved seeing us lift,so hope we get the job done tonight and tw*t the baggies
Couldn't bare the thought of that tw*t pardew dancing in celebration like he's shat his kecks.

Pretty decent side that, expecting an early goal, and going on to win 4:0
Salah 2, TAA 1 and Bobby 1.
They only1 down due to flu, but we know how that drains your energy.
Let’s drive through them, not relying on the big spaces behind, which I’m sure won’t appear.

Interesting that Van Dijk and Matip have swapped for this one.

Bobby get the F**k in

Yes Bobby lad!

Bobbbyyyy

What a f**king finish! Get in Firmino! Best start imaginable to this kind of game.
