Even the Reds’ marketing team are out-of-form
Liverpool sent emails to their supporters advertising tickets for a fourth round tie against Burnley before they had replayed their third round tie against Reading. The email was sent out at 5pm on Wednesday, just hours before the humiliating defeat against the Royals.
