You just have to love Gini's wide grin when he goes over to Bobby after the 3rd goal.

The greatest injury that LFC have suffered is the loss of US. The Twelfth Man. The X factor that picks LFC up on poor-to-average days and also scares the life out of some opponents as soon as they run out onto the pitch. WE also keep the officials that little bit more honest on close decisions as we can all see their mistakes and make sure they know it. Sometimes our players need to feel appreciated for winning a tackle/throw in/corner at first hand to make them able to repeat that effort in the 88th minute when they feel that they are out on their feet.

And Pawson positioning himself in the LFC forward passing lanes.

Has Garden Gnome Davies taken over the "big little man" role at the Pit from Bilbo Baines?

Maureen's comments after the Spurs game planted the seed in any referee's mind.

And Roy needed every "friend" he could get.

Loved Pride Strain :-)

Mane got a lot of stick on the BBC text feed - so he must have been bad. As we used to say, a game best watched on teletext.

The thing about Harry Claim is a parallel with "baldy" Shearer in the 1990s - the PL referees let them get away with all that backing in and falling over to get a free kick or penalty as they are the England captain. Then when they play in international games they get short shrift from referees that actually see what is going on.

Great read, Dave. Your Mum is becoming a star. Top Dire Eric analysis in there, too!

WAS? I thought he was still playing..........

Sterling had two one v ones and missed them both. No surprise there really. He’s probably the world’s shittest great player. Are you saying that Sterling out-Zlatans Zlatan, Dave?

Top Micah Richards spreading his largesse around analysis as well, Dave

You may be right about Jenas - but he's not a "Baked Bean headed tit"

They almost missed the first goal

Could have sworn that was Gary Mac getting off the W Ham coach after Moyes. Had to google to check he was still at Rangers.

One day Nice Guy Eddie is going to completely snap and end up murdering a fourth official with his bare hands. With any luck it will be Martin Atkinson or Anthony Taylor. And if Nice Guy Eddie's really lucky David Coote will on VAR - misses the incident completely, accidentally wipes the tapes and the case won't even get to court.

Without the Dan Dare haircut.

Dave does your version of Word automatically add (love him as a midfielder but really not a fan of his on the wing) as soon as you type Ox?

And pull his socks up.

And Nunez!

Obviously there’s the Guardiola link too, but I’m not sure how much weight that carries as having worked with ‘Pep’ for several years Messi probably thinks he’s a bad weirdo. You did mean bald weirdo, didn't you?

The headline in today's Shrewsbury Chronicle reads "Anfield of Dreams turns sour"

What is more magical than a group of talented teenagers being given the chance to play for the biggest club in the country, in front of a sell out crowd, and playing like THAT??? Nothing, that’s what. This is the new magic of the cup, embrace it. "Playing like THAT" should be the worrying thing for the rest of league. Yes the 22 points is a BIG worry for this season & next - but this game and the other cup games shows that the template is now ingrained in the club and that there is (potentially) another generation to carry it forward. Isn't life grand!

Just have to keep him for that smile. Best smile at the club since KMD's goal scoring smile.
