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

It really doesn’t make sense to take the FA Cup seriously if we are going to pull the same trick season after season. It isn’t fair on the fans - it would be better to get knocked out in the 3rd round, so we shouldn’t be putting pretty much full strength teams out against weak opposition in the early rounds then emasculating the team in the semi finals. There is a reason why we’ve lost so many semi finals in the FA Cup and it has nothing to do with luck or having an ‘off day’. What today has done however has confirmed a few things we already knew - our forwards don’t really deserve that description and the infill players like Steffen and Zinchenko will never be regulars.

Love pep and he is a great manager at league level as his record proves.
He isn’t however an elite manager in the manner of Ferguson of Klopp.
Too many instances of hugely important one off cup games being fucked up either by poor team selection, head scratching tactics, baffling use/non-use of substitutions or a combination of all three.

The true elite managers can get their teams over the line in difficult circumstances and in one off must win games. Often by sheer force of will and personality.

Peps record in these sort of games is pretty woeful.
I almost hope we get knocked out by Real as if we make the final we will be schooled by Klopp again and that doesn’t bear thinking about.

Great manager, super guy, but a long way from elite and we will never ever win the CL with him at the club.

With respect thats absolute bollocks.
 
We were sat in 109 and got spat on by Scouse pricks who had infiltrated the block above us. Happened after all their goals.

When we scored they started throwing stuff, one little girl sustained a badly injured arm and had to leave at 3-1.

They’re shameless and the stewards did fuck all despite a lot of Blues remonstrating.

Last FA cup semi final I will be attending whilst pep is manager…. Why not play the kids in the 3rd round if you clearly have no intention of trying to win the comp….4th FA Cup semi final we’ve now lost.

I do have sympathy for those who have been to Wembley over recent years as its guesswork as to who Pep is gonna play. I haven’t been to Wembley since 2011 in the FA Cup final, but I knew that in both trips (semi and final) that the only way Toure, Kompany or Silva weren’t playing was if they were injured and that’s it.

If we have fit first team , Im not concerned at all. They are ordinary and today’s game showed their flaws and weaknesses.
If we do meet them in cl , boys will be well up for it .

This was exactly what we used to say about Chelsea last year too. Yes we can absolutely beat them in a final but we played them twice full strength and didn’t win.
 
Did better than I thought we would having seen the team sheet. Concentrating on the Prem and chumps leagues. At the end of the season if we win the league and beat the scousers in Paris who'll give a shit about today's match. Come one you blues. This could still be our greatest ever season!
