v Liverpool (07/01/23) - FA Cup 3rd Round - Build Up & Match Thread

[MARKakaJIM]

Good pressure from Hwang there.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Liverpool will want the replay less than us. At least we’ve rested players and got minutes in players who needed it.

 

[Alan]

Of course it's inviting pressure, we're trying to hit them on the break.

Hwang and Cunha pressing their nuts off

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Good stuff from Semedo there after Nunes dropped him in a spot of bother.

 

[Wolvensam]

Can see why he has signed Cunha. Very clever presser with how he uses his body

I can't believe the FA Cup still does the replays. Just a logistical nightmare these days.

 

[The Bear]

Of course it's inviting pressure, we're trying to hit them on the break.

Inviting pressure from team like Liverpool isn't the greatest idea though. They still score plenty.

 

[Loki]

Brain-fart aside, Collins has had a good game.

 

[Jinky]

I tell you what, my first impressions of Cunha aren’t great. He looks like a right lazy shit. Nunes is bringing that ball away with a chance of a break and Cunha is just jogging lazily next to him. He did the same at the weekend too.

 

[Wolvensam]

Traore is getting so close with those balls over the top.

 

[Alan]

Inviting pressure from team like Liverpool isn't the greatest idea though. They still score plenty.

We've already seen that they don't need to be on top to score.

If going to a back five was a deathknell managers wouldn't do it anymore. Understand it raises the blood pressure, though.

 

[HanDoJin]

Collins plus A. N. Experinced-Adult will be a cracking defense

 

[The Bion]

Of course it's inviting pressure, we're trying to hit them on the break.

Why? Why revert to that? We played well and created enough playing normally on the front foot. Every time we do this someone has a meltdown, we panic and can't get out.

Attack is the best form of defence.

 

[Jinky]

That is absolutely wank from Cunha. WAKE UP LAD.

 

[Carsy]

I get it for the smaller teams. Like lower league but does nothing for premier league clubs, who on the whole don’t care about the cup until latter rounds

 

[YoungWolf]

Mate what are you on about

Edit: I’m behind thought it was something different ha!

 

[Alan]

What if Lop doesn't know this won't go to extra time

 

[YoungWolf]

Nunes when he goes up a gear is fantastic to watch

 

[Lichens]

Oh my goodness
