They’re back.
Okay, okay, let’s not get carried away. And Bournemouth will surely be ruing a few gilt-edged chances going begging tonight in Liverpool’s win in the quarter finals.
But it didn’t matter. The whole world (well, the whole of SportsJOE Towers) tuned in to watch the ‘Pool’s misery continue but it didn’t. They’re now in the semis and here’s the full draw:
Liverpool v Chelsea
Tottenham Hotspur v Sheffield United
Liverpool are at home in the first leg against Jose Mourinho’s table-toppers starting on January 19. The second leg is on January 26.
Rodgers was cool in his immediate reaction:
“It didn’t really matter who we got. Chelsea will be a tough game but we’ll look forward to it.”
However, Graeme Souness wasn’t as relaxed as Rodgers. The former Liverpool manager gave Jamie Redknapp a death stare when he drew the Anfield side to face Chelsea.
