Liverpool FA Cup s/f (N) | Post Match Thread

That freekick when Riyad came on was awful, thats when I knew it wasn’t to be.

Fuck it, we'll just have to make do with the league /CL double - unless baldy fucks it up.

On reflection the goalie had a shocker. Ederson may even go in at half time 0-0. Ferna was poor first half but recovered well, ditto the attackers.

Ake Stones Zinchenko all showed great defending for me against probably the best forward line in europe.

They scored a brilliant header and it should have been 0-1 at half time - we were just starting to knock it about well and then second goal ends the game really and we’re all over the place for the rest of the half.

Probably damages Steffen’s career and it will ruin him

We lost, we played poorly and I’m already over it.

No issue with criticism but some of the stuff written in the match day thread is fucking ridiculous.

Win the league again and I’m a happy bunny. The CL will be a bonus but it’s not a competition I’m enamoured with and never will be I suspect.

We do neither, we will be back again next season and the world will still be turning.

There’s a good chance that if we don’t win the CL or PL that Liverpool do the quadruple.

If Pep allows that to happen then he should never set foot in Manchester even again.

Bizarrely although they let in 3 the defenders did ok And our best unit today

midfield and attack poor as was the coaching staff.

moaning about subs and never using them.

 

[pudge]

How? We battered them the two league games with them getting favourable ref decisions. Today we had half a team and a goalie who was shit scared.

id fancy us full strength in a final.

So by that logic we've been better than them and they've still beaten us... That's a definite psychological edge

 

[Revolver]

Oh well if we the league today will be more bearable. To be fair to Pep this wasn’t the game you want so close to Athletico. However the lack of substitutions suggest an attitude that Pep wasn’t too bothered if we lost. Disappointing for fans who went today especially.

 

[samuelyeboah]

Terrible from Pep

Made a mistake picking Steffan over Ederson, you can see how Klopp treated it he went for Allison despite Kellher being class as their cup keeper

Never shouldve been there

Sad that Pep bottled it and threw in the towel

Don't even need to bring on KDB a she is so injury prone..... but why weren't Mahrez, Rodri, Gundogan, Laporte brought on about 55/60 mins in

mate if pep bottled it by playing steffen over ederson it really doesn't sound like that big a deal

Next year just give youth players a big chance in FA Cup. whats the points getting to semis and fold like this with the team line up. clearly if today is a CL semifinal we dont do this no matter how tired we are. so FA can can take the back seat for sure, I am all for it, but then give young players a chance.

not asking for EDS team to start, but 3-4 of the best of them can start with a mixture of A and B team combined.

LEts be honest we aint gonna see Delap, McAtee, Lavia playing 1 minute this season anymore. and its not like they played a lot in recent months either.

McAtee wanted more game time before he signed the contract renewal, even wanted to go on loan a big in January. we kept him and he played 10 minutes vs Fulham early February? next game for him is probably some summer pre season friendly.
same for Delap, 10 min vs Fulham in the FA cup. actually this is more dumb, given our clear issues with finishing chances and we keep creating chances for Jesus, Sterling etc, who keep missing them at a great rate.

worst thing is the the momentum we gave Liverpool today. just like the Carabao trophies and success helped us in recent years, its helping them this year and being in another cup final now is huge. they are very clsoe to a domestic treble and have all the momentum seemingly to do it.

only we can stop them, and we fail to beat them last week and they were there for taking.
today we were there for taking first half, and it was 3-0 for them easily.

this today can cost us more than the Fa cup final if we drop our concentration just a bit in next few weeks.

 

[Blue and true]

We have to storm the league and CL now, today has given them momentum but we're the only ones who can refitfy that. It can still be a great season. Huge few weeks upcoming.
