Fa Cup Liverpool (H) 06/03/26 Build-Up and Match Thread (lightning striking twice?)

Not sure about this ref...

 

[jd1981]

Jones should be on a yellow to after his tackle

 

[Wolftone]

Playing against the ref as well.

 

[Elvis]

Playing against the ref as well.

Don't we do that every week?

 

[jd1981]

Putting ourselves under pressure by playing poor balls out from the back

 

[Jinky]

Mane has been appalling so far. Constantly losing it and putting us in trouble. One game too far for him, probably. I’d have gone with Rodrigo from the start instead. Especially with the quick turnaround.

 

[Elvis]

Mane having a stinker & Jackson doing well

 

[Derby Wolf]

Ngumoah looks pretty special. He's giving us the runaround.

 

[Wolftone]

No Sa, no Krecji, No André, no Armstrong. Downgrades as replacements. Best chance of us scoring is Santi from a corner

 

[jd1981]

Just not in it at all, we’ve been atrocious in possession

 

[Jinky]

Well this first half has killed any momentum or atmosphere built from the win on Monday. Shocking all across the park - offering nothing offensively. Wave after wave of Liverpool attacks. This is only ending one way.

Agreed, it had just turned like this on Tuesday when we made the triple sub. We don't have that option tonight I don't think.

 

[YoungWolf]

We’re struggling to keep the ball but that doesn’t surprise me. Don’t think we’ve defended badly though.

Mane and Angel have very difficult jobs in possession so far and finding it tough to stay on the ball.

 

[Jinky]

We’re definitely missing Andre.

 

[Elvis]

Another drab Rob Edwards 1st half

 

[Wolftone]

Good job Liverpool are so poor in attack.

 

[Jinky]

Another drab Rob Edwards 1st half

Yep. Standard Edwards affair. Absolutely zero interest in doing anything other than getting to half time at 0-0.

Difference to Monday is we don’t have the players to bring off the bench to grab a goal, Rodrigo aside. Who’s he banking on bringing on to score… Hwang?!

 

[Wolftone]

Another drab Rob Edwards 1st half

Bellegarde, Angel Gomes, Mané, atrocious midfield that.

 

[Mel Evo]

Ref seems fast on the draw. One to watch.

 

[YoungWolf]

can only really see a comfortable Liverpool win once they increase the speed of what they do a bit. They haven’t created a good chance yet but you imagine they will work it out eventually.

But who knows, maybe we can conjure something up like in the past few home games
