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

[Jinky]

Angel Gomes' showings have been disappointing so far. Not much impact at all

Might be better in the Championship with a bit more time on the ball, but doubt he’ll stick around.

Tolu, Mane, Bellegarde & Angel Gomes have all been appalling tonight. To win, we needed them all to be a 8/9 out of 10.

In a team dominating possession he can play deep I think. If you want a snotter (sorry sorry) i don’t think he’s your man

 

[big mean bunny]

Give over, there's not a keeper in world football saving that, in any position or with any step. There's about 7 players who could have done better in either not giving the ball away, making a challenge or closing down. Johnstone isn't one of them.

Massively disagree. The goals from distance Johnstone lets in aren't happening with Sa. Yes he is way down the line of blame but still it doesnt make sense to see the cup as a priority and then play such a weak keeper.

 

[Tony Towner]

Think he’s out of position but I can’t workout what he is. Not a ball carrier, but I wouldn’t want him playing deep either.

Last player of his height I can think of in the PL was Leon Britton, but he was a lot stronger on the ball, Gomes is too easily bullied.

The issue is he's effective in a team that has possession.....

 

[Jinky]

At least Rob is ringing the changes and giving it a real go…

Sa doesn't save that, nobody does. You are letting your dislike of Johnstone affect your objectivity on this one.

We're being spawn camped.

Sa made a more difficult save on Tuesday.

That doesn't necessarily mean he saves that though.

 

[jd1981]

Fair reflection of how the games gone, we’ve been so passive

 

[Tony Towner]

A good keeper saves that one though

 

[Jinky]

YES CHANNY HERE TO SAVE THE DAY

 

[EnglishBob]

Hwang on. I'm off.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

SJ could definitely do better there.

I was thinking 4 or 5 nil when I saw the line up. All on Rob Edwards this. The slim chance of salvaging any pride from this terrible season and he picks three or four second string losers.

Who?

I would have played Sa (injured) and Krejci, but beyond that there was nothing particularly controversial with the line up was there?

There was the two reasons you mentioned

 

[Loki]

Our quality is showing through now.

Yep Curtis Edwards . I'm a bit fucking angry
