ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[davek]

Are you happy that they lost though....come on Dave, just enjoy today......

No. I'd rather they were the ones who won and play more games and have a player facing a scan tomorrow.

That's because I have my eye on the bigger picture.

Solksjaer is a small time fool and underlined it with his team selection. When he sits in his office later he'll be thinking "Well, that was nice, but how do I fit another load of matches in, and who do I play in place of Rashford?"

Idea ball?

That is some wonderful nonsense, they’re desperate to be able to say he’s good!

There was never anything wrong with referring to it as key passes but they made it sound like he’s a wizard!

Thought tonights game showed about 1000% more intensity.

Which I guess probably proves your point.

It showed two teams going for it and not being cagey, because it's just the cup.

If there were PL points on the line there you'd have seen a tight game with not many chances.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Williams was poor throughout the game, in a game of fine margins may have been the deference between the sides

Feel for him tbf, a young lad who is clearly not ready/good enough but seems like he's been thrown to the wolves for Klopp to make a point.

I'm not saying they wont cope, I'm saying that was a better day for Liverpool than United if you're focussing on the title race.

United = more games to come + injury to a key player
Liverpool = free FA Cup weekends + no further injuries

Currently it just one confirmed extra game in which he can play his kids if he wants to. In the context of where they both are in the season, sending out a decent team and knocking out your big rivals and dealing another confidence knock was exactly the right thing to do.

The fans are thick. They dont know anything.

This point will not be argued.

Solksjaer wants any silverware. A cup will keep him his job. I expect him to send out the first team again in the FA Cup, unless they get a minnow after Rd 5. He's small time.

I'm with you dave - I see that as best case scenario for them today. No injuries, played a bit better, scored & some free weekends. Klopp might be happy enough about it highlighting how much the need another CB, if owners are for turning.

 

[Bwana]

No idea.

What do you call a deer with no eyes?

A good preparation for Spurs. I still think Spurs win on Thursday though.

I'm more concerned about United's fixture pile ups and injuries. Ditto City. That could let a relatively poor Liverpool team retain a title they dont deserve.

It didnt. It showed the were both less risk averse because losing in the cup is a very different prospect.

You may well be right but I was only replying in the context of the decision he made today on team selection
