The FA CUP Third Round ** Spoilers ** [4th - 7th January 2019]

[Pigeon_Killer]

Eddie Murphy's playing right back, right midfield, central midfield and attack. It's hilarious watching him without the ball, he's running all over the place

Edit: Milner's been shocking for the second game running, still looks short of fitness

Lovely finish. Liverpool need to up their game. Dreadful so far.

 

[Mark1989]

Milner brain fart

 

[Tombstone]

Crikey, something actually happened in the match

It's pretty clear we aren't bothered tbh.

Well you should be, it’s the FA cup. You could be going for a double.

Yep the master plan is dropping out the FA cup, dropping out the champions league then inviting Gerrard down for a pep talk against Chelsea for that game in April to give a “don’t let this slip” speech.

The players on the pitch should be bothered. A decent cup run might be their only chance to play.

We'd prefer to win obviously but it simply isn't a priority and the team clearly reflects that.

They will be bothered but there's a right winger playing RB, a RB playing CB, a cm playing CB and a competition winner playing lb.

This, I lost all interest in the FA cup the year Man Utd didn't enter it, showed on that day that the FA couldn't give a toss about the fans and the competition.

 

[Mark1989]

Yet another **** poor performance in fa Cup for 6th season in a row, annoys me how little effort we put in the cups

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Despite playing two teenagers and a midfielder in defence, Moreno still stands out as the worst of the back four

 

[Mark1989]

Surprised how poor keita has been too, in fact there all just playing like ****.

Be another year of no cups, fans will accept it which is worse imo

 

[robfosters]

Plenty of insurance on the bench for Pool though.

 

[robfosters]

Is the 4th round draw tonight?

Top by 4 points?

Is the 4th round draw tonight?

I believe so yea.

They’ve only got 2 subs to use and the team is lacking defensively and in midfield. Subbing Salah/Firmino on wouldn’t change much imo.

When Moreno's your most senior defender it shouldn't be a surprise but this is the maddest defensive line I've ever seen. I'm not sure Camacho knows he's meant to be playing RB - I honestly think he's spent more time on the edge of their area than in our half. I think we might be better off putting Milner at CB and Fabinho as the holding mid - at least we'd have somebody in a natural position.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Really disappointed with Milner, Shaqiri, Origi and Sturridge. They should all be showing the youngsters the type of quality and effort that's needed to play in the first team and they've all been awful.

FA Cup is a competition every club should be looking to win but not at the expense of a title bid or the Champions League. I'm happy with Klopps selection and I won't care if we get knocked out.
