Goons at Anfield last week singing "Que sera sera... We're going to Wembley!"

 

Great times!

Maybe they work there as match day stewards? It's only down the road.

Fabinho's been fantastic again.

 

The entire team, miles better 2nd half.

Been very impressed again by Kelleher. Did what was needed. Kicked it long when under pressure, no messing about. Good to see. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Thought Jonesy was excellent.

[polymerpunkah]

Impressive adjustment after the first 15 minutes or so--took Martinelli right out of the match.

 

Score a goal, control the ball, score another, weather their dirty challenges....

on to Wembley.

[TheHowieLama]

Great trackie on Firmino there.

[Gnasher]

Klopps still fucking awesome, just looking at him makes me smile.

Yeah he looks a good keeper. 

[waddy78]

Might as well start now............. Anyone got any spares Wembley?

[KMD7]

Jota motm closely followed by Jones and Fab. Good team performance all round.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Fabinho is a colossus. Absolutely irreplaceable in our system.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Fingers crossed that Matip is ok.

[Anubis]

 

 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

That’ll do. A fairly comfortable win and a good, all round team performance.

 

Stand out performances from Jota, Jones and Fabinho. 

[gkmacca]

Really good achievement, that, over two difficult games. 

 

Diogo, he does the odd thing that is almost Dalglish-like, he's a very clever lad.

 

Good to see Trent so powerful again, Fab recovered his old knack of knowing when to step in, some nice touches from Robbo. I must say Virgil looks a bit dozy at the moment, as well as strangely cumbersome by his high standards. Hopefully he's just shaking off some cobwebs.

 

A relief we got through the last ten minutes injury free - the Arse just clattered anyone who tried to hold on to the ball, it was almost psychotic!

Somebody call Martin Tyler and tell him that we've won in London!

Broke the cycle just in time for Palace.

Great win - a cup final day out at Wembley for the match going fans. That's what being a footy fan is all about. 

 

Any of the 'fuck the cups' mob who qualify for a final ticket should give it up to someone who does care.

[Butch]

Loved the way their fans fucked off with 15 minutes remaining, useless cunts. 

[Lee909]

Arsenal, he gets them

 

Thomas Partey got knocked out of the cup, jumped straight on a plane, travelled over 3000 miles, landed in London at midday, travelled straight to the team hotel to join the Arsenal squad to play tonight, got knocked out of another cup, and got sent off in the 90th minute

[stringvest]

Great result.  Jota, Jones and Fabinho all excellent.  Minamino when he came on was great, and Milner got involved and made a difference as soon as he came on too.  Konate brought a solidity that was missing with Matip.  Nico brought energy.  Klopp got all the subs right today.

Not that you'd know from Sky's audio. Pissed me right off that has.

Never in all my 50+ years, have I ever seen manager love his players as much as Jurgen, watch him with Robbo and Trent at the end, the love and admiration for each other is beautiful. 

[A_S]

Dave will be smelling himself tonight more than Arsenal fans have this past week! 

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Very good performance, and of course a brilliant result.

Jota with an excellent performance, and a world class goal.

 

Now go to Wembley and bring back that trophy Reds

[halewood pete]

Great result and away performance, I had jota at 45/1for the hat trick but hey,we at Wembley with a chance to win a trophy.thought VVDs positioning all through the game was first class.

[Rushies tash]

As someone has said, what makes this sweeter is Arsenal's shenanigans at the weekend, getting the Spurs game off and naming a full strength team tonight. They really wanted this and we still beat them. Fucking hilarious.
