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

Klippety stated that was the Dippers best first half performance under his management , the fact we gifted them a goal and played with a makeshift defence has to be taken into account , apart from the three goals i cannot remember Steffen having to make a save of any relevance.
Yet again if we had been as efficient as the Dippers at taking opportunities , whsiper it , we would have won the game in normal time , the first half was a disaster but we were a goalkeepers fingertips away from taking the game to extra time at the minimum
If that's the Dippers best then i have no worries about a possible Champs league final when we have a full strength motivated team backed by thousands of Blues in Paris , bring it on.
 
Does anybody know how many tickets we actually sold? The usual piss taking is annoying but personally give all the circumstances I'd consider taking 20,000 to Wembley pretty good no matter what the morons say.

You just can't tell 100% from an angled picture - I hate to do this as I've had a similar conversation in the VAR thread on offsides.

But to give an idea of why this isn't clear - have a look at the posts - they don't line up with the goal line because the photo is taken from slightly further up the pitch. This shows that anything above the goal line will appear further to the left the higher it is. That means the ball is going to appear further left in comparison to the goal line than it really is. Given that the whole of the ball has to be over the line, and it's pretty much just there, even in this picture, it looks like it's fine to me.

I posted the below in the Talksport thread…

I stayed in London over the weekend and have just got back. Our hotel was in Paddington. Paddington station was full of Liverpool ‘fans’ after the game going back to the South West. Prior to the game I was in a pub in Baker Street. Talking to a bunch of Liverpool fans from Wolverhampton. To me these fans that follow Liverpool (and United) are the definition of glory hunters. They have zero connection to Liverpool as a city. Is it a coincidence that these people choose to support one of the two most successful clubs in the the country and world? No it isn’t, they can’t be bothered supporting their local team and have taken the easy route. The same goes for these presenters who pop up on TS with southern accents and support United or Liverpool. They are glory hunters that get to spout their shite on national radio and the social media fan boys lap it up.

Hard to tell if all the ball was over the line sure I heard some twat blow a whistle as well no doubt it was fully verified by VAR anyway, I'd hate to call the F.A. in anyway bias.

I definitely heard a few whistles too, thought the ref had blown for an infringement, seemed like a few players thought the same because it was such an easy header for them to score.

I’ve no idea Bluenova, someone asked for a photo and I’d been sent this one. I was at the game and don’t remember our players making a fuss about it?

Well said. I've got no idea when this weird obsession started with attendances but even when we were shit we were amongst the top four attendances in England.

I took my 6 year old to that game. I had to walk with the hammers fans back to the train station. To a man they were decent. Making sure we could get through. Men shouting “stand by,lad coming through with a little one.” Just all round good eggs. I had a city jacket on and not one bit of shit or snidey comments.

At the train station waiting back got chatting to a few of their boys and they were asking my daughter if she had a good time. One gave her his programme and said he hoped she had a great day out.
That sort of thing leaves an impression and you have faith in football fans.


Compare and contrast that to Saturday and you couldn’t find a wider chasm.

The Hammers' fans were brilliant. Drunk with them before and afterwards. As you say no snide comments, no taunting after their win, just decent people and proper football fans. The match atmosphere was fantastic as well despite all the jibes about the new stadium. I hope they win the Europa League.
 
So their first goal shouldn't have counted? They always seem to get away with something when we play them. I don't care what anyone says, if the shoe were on the other foot, the scousers would be going bananas, full on conspiracy mode and they'd be showing replays of it on Sky.

I'm not sure there's much point making a big deal about it though. At least most City fans can admit when the team has been out played, they were probably good for at least 2 goals in that first half. That Steffan blunder was the last thing City needed though. A 2-0 deficit and a goal early in the 2nd half for City, would have been a different prospect.

I noticed on the City youtube channel, Liverpool fans(they are always on City videos these days... but they don't care about City) were getting triggered by Lescott and co saying City created enough to level the score.

They are trying to make out Liverpool created just as many in the second half. Other than the Zinchenko's moment of madness that nearly gifted Salah a goal, Liverpool didn't really create much off their own backs(besides that counter right at the end). Granted, they didn't need to, given they were in front but it is what it is.

Judging by the spin they used last week, where they were outplayed and happy they didn't get beat. Coming out with waffle like: "City at their best still couldn't beat Liverpool at their worst".

If the shoe were on the other foot, they'd be telling us it says more about City that they were on top for so long, playing their strongest team against a disjointed opponent, 3-0 up at half time and yet they were probably a bit lucky they didn't quite manage to claw it back to 3-3 in the end. "Left clinging on for the win against their opponents B team. That will probably rattle them mentally la, because everything played into their hands and they still very nearly threw it away"

Their spin is so annoying and predictable.

People who live in big cities/towns and follow another cities/town teams I find odd.
Around here they is no big team, gillingham dont count lol. So most follow London clubs which I understand.
But following clubs 300 miles away seems odd to me. Most couldnt even point to the NW on a map
