Thanks for fucking clearing it up then.

 

 

 

No fucking problem.

Van der Berg was my man of the match.  I thought he was great.  He didn’t even look like a footballer on his last outing.  He got beat in the air for his first ball but then won his second and never looked back.  Dominant in the air and good in possession.

Tactical masterclass by Critch.

And what do you know? Loads of VAR rescue's Liverpool comments in the sports pages, again. Yes, it's great!

Jones is a class above the rest, even though they all seem to be a class above the shrews tonight. Mark my words, Jones, the next Gerrard, but with more hair,  Anyone else remember the shaved headed skinny kid when he first got his chance?

He was fabulous tonight. Always looked a million times more ready than any of the others. Some player.

Think I've said this before, but can't understand why no-ones snapped up Chirivella yet, he's a proper midfield maestro, would be perfect for any top division club looking for someone to orchestrate play from the centre of the park. Might not be good enough for a top 4 club, but most others looking to play football from the back could surely make use of his talents.

 

Agree with the shouts for Curtis Jones too, he's actually been even more impressive on the other occasions I've watched him, but he's got the confidence and ability to make it at senior level, and influences every game he plays.

Agree on these two entirely. 
 

Jones was excellent & took it by the scruff of the neck. He’s got bags of character. 
 

As for the rest of the squad, Michael Edwards will be sharpening his pencil this morning on values.

Glossop Notth End Jrs weigh into the great FA Cup debate.....

It's a shame there are some sour grapes from the manager. VAR was correct, but irrespective of that the Kop Kids played them off the park for the best part of 90 minutes.

Wouldn't have expected him to be a gobshite, what with him being a man city fan and all.

The only disappointment for me was that lovely young lad, Bobby Duncan, has missed the chance to play on live tv against Villa, Everton & in both legs of a 4th round FA Cup tie. 

How many times has that incredibly well informed lad played for Fiorentina? Is it a whopping 0 times?

Perfect reasoning.

 

Disrespecting the Cup means putting out a weak side (see Sam Allardyce setting his West Ham under-9s up to get battered by Forest a few years ago)... except, we clearly didn't do that. We put out teams that were good enough to win the games, as evidenced by the fact that we won the fucking games.

 

If someone genuinely disrespects the Cup by putting out a team too weak to win, kicking them out isn't an option  (or a punishment).

[Jairzinho]

A couple of weeks ago I pondered whether the season could get better.

 

Well, Klopp has told the FA to go fuck themselves, the whole nation has burst into tears, and our under 14's are going to win the FA Cup.

 

Apologies, Jurgen.

[Moctezuma]

I'm wondering about the team selection for Chelsea, it's a while away and injuries/dips in form can happen, but it would be good to go a bit stronger than just the B team i.e.

 

Adrian

 

Hoever/Williams

Lovren

Matip

Milner

 

Lallana

Keita

Jones

 

Minimino

Origi

Shaqiri

In my last 3 visits to Anfield I haven't seen a Liverpool player score a goal. I have seen plenty before that but that goal last night is right up there. The joy from the pitch and stands was a pleasure to be part of, those boys were cheered on like everyone in the ground was related to them.

 

It was brilliant watching them lads absolutely own the game and show some real balls when throw ins and corners were launched into the box. You had to be there to see how much bigger Shrewsbury were as a team, their smallest player probably weighed more than our biggest. The ball and the balls belonged to us though, Jones, Elliott and Williams all have a bit of Robbo about them. The right combination of class and snide. Those 3 are proper ballers.  

[Jairzinho]

Milner...whaddaguy.

[Funkasy]

play first 11 and get the world/fa to think we are now taking it serious and crush chelsea and then let the youngsters play again next game just to see the fume start all over again. 

[VladimirIlyich]

What a disgrace! A club that keeps fielding its junior teams and wins the games they play in against full strength first teams from other clubs. The ultimate sign of disrespect.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

The keeper got away with one last night because he was awful for their disallowed goal. Basically all he had to do, would have been a sin given how the 

lads played.

[Davelfc]

Ha, my lad felt old last night. He, thanks to the youthful selection of the team, reached that point when the players are all younger than yourself. Most reading this will probably know that feeling, then it becomes refs, then managers. 

 

Anyway what a night, what a game. Going in to this I gave us no chance and thought a similar result to the Villa game was on the cards. When I saw the stadium full and heard the support I thought hmmmm. Then after 10 or so minutes I was thinking, hey we could do this. 

 

The lads should be proud, they pretty much played Shrewsbury off the pitch and even the stats prove that Gaz. The victory was nothing less than they deserved and I left feeling incredibly proud of my team. There was a incident just before half time Lewis fell awkwardly or was in a challenge. You could see he was hurt from it and it took all his effort to get to his feet. People in the crowd urging him 'go down lad' but he hobbled on and made a decent interception and a clearance. Grit and determination, just one example out there of how much they wanted it. 

 

Credit too to the crowd, after getting home and sticking on Iplayer for the highlights you could see empty stands in all the other stadiums, (such utter disrespect for the cup) While for us a pretty much full house and a great atmosphere. 

 

I suppose if this was City or Bacon face's Utd youth team all we'd be hearing would be 'the magic of the cup' 'Fergies wonder kids' etc etc etc. Fuck some the media and their agenda, last night was bloody brilliant. Oh and the FA can go and fuck themselves too.

That creaking you hear is Pep Ljinders and Steven Gerrard making space on the bench for Neil Critchley outside the interview room for next manager.

The funniest thing he's crap and we actaully got decent money for him.

[JagSquared]

City’s centurions

Arsenals untouchables 

United’s treble winners

 

A man can dream, but imagine beating all those records in one season, I think we’d break opposition teams forever.

 

lets go out and win it all.
