24/25 English Cup thread

I do believe that LFC played bad and I agree they deserved the loss but the way it was handed out like that is kind of ridiculous. I do think Slot should start already panicking the team has played bad two games in a row, that's not a good sign at all.

 

[Epictetus]

Shows why Szobo is one of the most important players on the team.

It’s not a coincidence they are in a slump since he’s been out

I don’t think the manager panicking is ever a good sign.

Richard Hughes on the other hand. He needs to get to work

Virgil leave the ref alone please. The dude will literally not have a good answer to explain himself and you’ll just get in trouble.

Of all people, Van Dijk should be the last one complaining about missed red cards given how many red card offenses he gets away with

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Liverpool will still take the tie, I am pretty sure. But I think the game will be an important one in the long run because while Bergvall hasn't been BAD, he has looked really young and timid at times but it seemed today he looked like he belonged for the 1st time in a big match.

Plus, they may just have bought themselves a keeper

 

[Savant]

Well, anyway



And for as bad as Konate (who should not have even been playing) was on that goal, the biggest reason that it happens is Tsimikas is off the field getting “treatment” from the tackle that not just LFC fans agree Bergvall should have been sent off for.

Just another botched ref decision at that ground in a game between these two. Onto the next game

 

[AlanHUK]

How on earth is he still allowed on the field?

Stuart Atwell....

Yep, that 1st yellow for Bergvall was a poor decision.

Sad the site was down today, could've used more reaction to this match

Yellow cards are not done in isolation.

LFC did not lose because of the ref. But Tottenham’s goal scorer should not have been on the pitch. Onto Leg 2.

A lot has happened today too!

 

[maclean]

A lot has happened today too!

My first thought whenever the site is down is that the Leafs have made a trade. Them going from No. 9 to No. 5 in the NHL power rankings didn't quite seem like enough to make the site crash, but I did entertain the idea

The part about not being a foul is something I mentioned after seeing the replay. It didn’t look like the ref gave the advantage signal but instead pointed to the ball as if he thought Bergval had got the ball and thus it was a legal tackle.

That’s obviously an absurd decision to anyone with eyes, but at least it makes sense why he didn’t issue a card.

Well done boys. Good process

@Savant
Maybe you should criticize the media for asking him about it multiple times instead.

Don’t get me started (in general) on the media. They are just going to ask whatever gets the most clicks/attention.

 

[Epictetus]

If Chiesa doesn't start tomorrow, he's cooked

 

[Savant]

If Chiesa doesn't start tomorrow, he's cooked

If he doesn’t start tomorrow he is getting sold before the end of the month

EDIT - Chiesa is not starting but he is on the bench. Starting instead, is Rio Ngumoua, who is the youngest player to start in club history.

 

[gary69]

Liverpool about to win easily, Chiesa scores the 4th goal, hit the post earlier and had a shot saved, where Danns scored from the rebound. TAA's first FA Cup goal was nice.

 

[Blender]

Heavy rotation as expected.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Heavy rotation as expected.

Likely means that Acheampong starts again in midweek, establishing him as above Disasi and Tosin in the pecking order.

 

[gary69]

What was Songo thinking putting both his hands up like that, but Nkunku misses the PK.

 

[Blender]

Goalie was way off his line, but no VAR in this.

 

[al secord]

Left his line ridiculously early but still a good save.

 

[Epictetus]

Chiesa is rusty but you can see he's got quality
