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

We didn't deserve to win today, end of.

Shite.

Hardly surprising given the battle we had with the dirty cheating cunts in Madrid though, while as usual scouse twats had a fucking stroll in their game.

Even then, the same old story of shit finishing cost us. And Pep ‘being nice’ and picking our back-up keeper in such an important game. He’s back up for a reason, Ederson is better.

Fucking shit day for results all round. Fuck football. Fuck Liverpool.

Hopefully we learn from this and get more ruthless.

Well if you don’t play your back up keeper you don’t have a back up keeper

We looked better when we had the front 3 in their normal positions. First half approach was shocking. Liked the fight i saw second half.

if only we could score a one on one. Its amazing we’re in the position we are with no reliable scorer.

Expectations were low and they were about met. Steffen awful obviously, but I still don’t understand why we make no adjustments whatsoever when he comes in to account for his skill set? Jesus with the extremely frustrating miss of course…

As tempting as it is to some on here, let's try not to just give out mindless personal abuse to the players. Criticise them by all means; there's a few of them that deserve criticism. But let's try to keep the insults out of things.

All sports media turned off for the rest of the weekend.

Stay safe blues leaving wemberlee having to face those graceless cult fans.

I don't think we played anywhere as bad as the match day thread described it. I had accepted 1-3 then Bernie the bastard scored to make me think we're gonna do a Spurs.

It's gone.

Still 2 more trophies to play for and win.

They are a bloody good side no shame in losing to them with an under strength one, especially after the midweek shananigans.

Gutted but a week ago if anyone had said we’d be in CL semis, still top of the league but out of FA, would probably have taken it

 

[mixer]

Tough game. Tough to pick a side given all our exertions. Tough on Steffen. Tough luck/bad finishing. Tough, basically

But if we had to lose one game before end of season, this was it.

I'd say you found the whole game a tough watch

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

We'll take that after a 1st half where everything that could have gone wrong, did.

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

I would love to know the genuine reason as to the lack of subs, seems so bizarre.

On the plus side I’m starting to really appreciate these city vs Liverpool games. A lot of snide challenges by both sides both the game is played at such a great tempo and high quality. Thought the ref was excellent today as well.

Still feels like yet another trophy thrown away unless all goes to plan in the next few months.

 

[Gumzy97]

They were clinical, we weren't only difference

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Tale of two keepers really. Theirs was good, ours was shite.

Big mistake picking him with all the other changes and it cost us.

Least we didn’t get absolutely dicked which I feared at half time.

Sterling useless again.

 

[I'm Blue]

Pep is so so happy, cos he didn't give a shit today.
Wank effort for 85 minutes.
One sub too late.
He could've tried to win it at least.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

All on Pep and Steffen.

A nightmare day. A Scouse quad would be a nightmare.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

I'd say you found the whole game a tough watch

Yeah, it was,.......tough ;-)

 

[avoidconfusion]

Pathetic shambles. Absolutely infuriating that Pep only makes 1 sub and only because Jesus got hurt.

Seriously, what is that all about? He fucked up the line up again like he did in the Champions League final and then he isntoo stubborn to make changes and adapt. Wjy? Because it could be interpreted as him admitting he got it wrong?

Or did he feel the players played so badly they deserve to suffer through this on the pitch?

It really baffles me!

Sterling, Zinchenko and Jesus are not good enough. Dinho should have never started and definitelty should have come off at half time. Grealish was utter shite apart from his goal and Foden was invisible too. Ake was the stand out positive in an absolute shower of shite.

But why the fuck is Pep not making the changes when it clearly did not work!?

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Oops posted in wrong thread...


Least important game we have had until the end of the season. That was the one to lose. And we played like it.

Not too concerned, though I still am worried lfc will win everything.

Shame for our travelling fans too.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

I am off to the specky chick thread in off topic to cheer me up

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Don’t look into that game too much,bigger fish to fry in the next few week

 

[Gogootz]

Emerson starts and we would have won it. Pep needs to get over playing the back up keeper for the whole cup campaign. He clearly was out of his depth.

But we know this now, it's all a work in progress as Pep will tell you - trust the process
