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

Not all Blues were sat down in silence. In 109 we stood for the whole game and did our best to back the team. Wasn’t helped by the fact the keeper did exactly what thousands of us predicted he’d do, which personified a shambolic first half.

Despite the scousers sat above us, in City seats, spitting on us and breaking a girl’s arm, we sang and we tried.

Broke a girl's arm? Obviously not picked up by Dippernews central then.... if so we need to disseminate it through all channels
 
I'm sure everyone must be thing the same as me when you see Sterling stepping up to take a free kick.

really wonder if we had not qualified for the FA semis then we would have played the Wolves away fixture today.

would he have named the same weakened line up just because of we are very tired? I highly doubt.

we used this 11 against Peterborough where Dias got injured for 6 weeks and is seemingly a stronger line up then yesterday:
Ederson, Cancelo, Dias, Ake, Zinch, Gundo, Foden, Dinho, Jesus, Mahrez, Grealish

makes no sense to to choose stronger line ups vs Champo or League 1 clubs then take our foot off the gas as soon as we reach semis second year running.

I hadn't thought of that. Think you make a good point.

Yep, it was sickening. I told the stewards countless times and I wasn’t the only one. There was a row of about 25 of them above us, waving flags, not even subtle.

Spat on us (in a pandemic no less) before kick off, spat on us every time they scored, threw missiles when we scored, one of which hit a little girl and broke her arm.

One steward told me “what do you want me to do, go up there myself?” Why can’t they radio or fucking wave at their colleagues?

But naturally the narrative is that City fans were crap/quiet/absent/disrespectful.

Another positive, get it in the other thread! We potentially could of lost points yesterday had we not been in the semis. The line up was selected on who was available & the schedule at the time, was Steffen not injured for that game?
 
Wasn't particuarly bothered before the game not at all bothered after the game.Given the week we had last weekends game and midweek if we were going to lose one it would have been this match, and as much as i love the guy for what he's done a 36 year old fernandinho doesn't start a game we need to win. If Pep had any inkling for winning the game he'd have brought Rodri on at half time. I can't actually believe it ended up as close as it did and with chances we could have actually won it or at least took it to extra time. Ringing the changes for the better against Brighton now.

People coming in late was also down to the ticket office sending out tickets that didn't work we had 3 sets of tickets that didn't work and after nearly two hours back and to from ticket office we sat down 10 minutes before ko
There was still hundreds waiting to sort tickets then , a complete shambles also our tickets were cheaper seats than we ordered
While we was waiting at ticket office got talking to a chap from Norwegian branch who's disabled daughter ticket worked she went in but the rest of the groups tickets didn't work so she was inside on her own loads of unhappy bunnies

There's a limit to how much credit I can give a guy for taking one of the biggest teams in the world and taking them back to one of the four best in the country. Being the first competent manager they had in ages isn't automatically deserving of praise.

Pep has always had the rolls royce on call. Whether is was inheriting that ridiculous core of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta at Barcelona, to the unprecedented power of the single club league in Germany, to his ability at Man City to activate any release clause he wants. Pep has never never known struggle. That's the biggest criticism of Pep, and its valid.

Granted Pep knows how to get a team playing elite level football. But if you gave Pep and Klopp 100m to build up a squad over three years. After those three years, I think I know which team would be at a higher level

Couldn't believe that free kick. You've got 2 people over the ball - one who's really good at free-kicks & one who not only isn't, but is also having a terrible game where nothing is going right for him.

My son beside me said: "You know what's going to happen: Mahrez will run past it, then Sterling will spend ages thinking about it before kicking it aimlessly over the bar".

I said: "No, we won't be that stupid when a goal here could get us back in it & make Liverpool start to panic a little."

I was wrong.
 
Really hope I never witness a 1st half from this team/squad like that ever again. Shocking is putting it mildly. There's a few players who really need to up their game right now. So many small and basic things not done right throughout that first 45 mins.

Seriously? You went all that way and back and didn’t get in? That’s horrendous.

Yes, when my ticket failed they sent us to the Wembley ticket office, I joined it 3ish and after an hour I reckon we moved 3 yards....thats ok but it was a 30 yard Q.

Sat in a pub and watched it on my phone 2nd half.
