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

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Never ceases to amaze me the bed wetting on here after a defeat , squad rebuild , etc etc , f*cking get a grip , we played a very tough game in europe against the Spanish Champions and flew straight to London on Thursday, in comparison the Dippers had a easy quarter final against a 2nd rate Portuguese team which they won in the first leg at home and they trained as per normal.
Before the game i believed Pep would play our strongest team , but the coaches have the stats and figures and which players are deemed fit to play , and it was a game too far for a few of our players.
Did we get hammerd 4-0 or 5-0 , no , we came back from a first half drubbing showed plenty of fight and on another day we equalise with one of the three or four excellent chances in the 2nd half.
If that's the Dippers playing their best against a make shift defence then i am not at all concerned about the rest of the season , our players have fighting spirit in abundance and will not be giving up or title lightly.
Unlike some of the lilly livered posters on here.

I really don't see the sense in willfully putting ourselves on the back foot in an important game in order to confirm what we already know. Steffen isn't good/suitable enough to cover long term for Ederson or to take his place in an important game. If we want to have a cup goalie then get a cup goalie that's good enough to play in these games or at least able to facilitate our style of play. Otherwise stick with the best keeper we have and deal with his hypothetical future absences when the time comes.

for once Pep was right to throw this game , poor buggers were dead on their feet.
credit him and the lads for getting anywhere near a full strength dippers side.

as always the title is everything .

You know what bill I don’t agree on everything you say and I’m pretty sure you don’t agree with me on many things however I would have killed for the likes of you at the game today. Proper blues. Now I’m not saying the city fans today were crap but I felt very disillusioned with my block today. I may have the odd disagreement with the likes of yourselves and a few others on here but fuck me id be happy if the likes of you guys are next to me today.

Spot on but I’d rather have the champs league this season.

3 semi defeats in 3 years. Each time a weak team. This year maybe understandable but it shows the limitations of our squads.
In future we should be playing more younger players in the earlier rounds. This would surely improve the squad

No zip about our play today. No real urgency. We get one back early doors but nothing really after that . Just a weird performance and nothing to get excited about.
Feel sorry for Stefen. Ake did well but apart from that there was nothing to write home about but considering what had taken place the last week it seems a little bit over the top to be too hard on the boys.



I don’t like being critical of out support but today was grim. Just nothing in my block. No passion no one seeming to care just nothing. Way too may half and half scarfs, too many people on their phones and just a really poor away end. Considering what i know our support is and can be I was just left a bit exasperated and given shitty looks when I tried to get something going or for people to stand up and get behind the teams.

Then to top it all the tube back with a carriage full of those fans giving me shit and having the balls to say we are a tin pot club and had no crowd back in the 80s.. easy to get lively when you have a backing. He didn’t like it when I just kept repeating that he was a liar. Just one of my least enjoyable days following this wonderful club. Maybe a tad harsh on the following today but not what I associate with city.

Going 2-0 down after 15 mins with a goal like that is never going to help the atmosphere. My lad said hundreds spent the rest of the half at the bar!

Complete balls up that today. If you are going to bring in two new players in the back four and change your DM then don’t change your keeper!

So now Peps not an elite manager, I believe sean dyche is available, although don't think he'd win 8 trophys in 6 years, at least not at football.
Maybe try for the real elite like a manager who's so far won 3 trophys in 7 years Jurgen klopp.
Carefully what you wish for!

Hoping that post was a wind up tbh

I know it hurts, but the first 25 minutes it sounded from the terraces and it looked on the pitch like they played some conference team. The noise they were making was better than any atmosphere I remember recently from Anfield. Mate, they've bummed us the big time today, we need to forget that and keep fighting, there another two trophies to win, BUT HOW THE FUCK DO YOU FORGET THAT FIRST HALF PEFORMANCE, OR WHATEVER IT WAS???

Easily, reformed back line, Ferdy playing the DM at 37, and a monumental fuck up at the back.

One Swallow does not make a porno film.

Just got in half an hour ago, I’m a half glass full bloke normally but… that was difficult today I honestly thought we’d get a result the lads looked shot. Took my 11 year old with me she couldn’t get her round the amount of half n half’s on display I couldn’t either. Great quality time together shame about the result. But we go again.

Just had a read through the comments. Let's be honest, if you hadn't of purchased your ticket before the game on Wednesday you'd of watched it on TV knowing exactly how this was going to play out. This is not something unexpected. A betting neutral wouldn't of put big money on us winning. Even a fifa game would drop your players levels.
