Replays are essential to the glamour of the Cup, although they may disrupt TV schedules does it matter? The big clubs have loads of players, some more than us:smile:

Define players! Assume that means having the ability to play at the level of footy the club is at!

Another absolute shocker from Liverpool today, who are in somewhat of a crisis, or blimmin' close to one. There's no zip or confidence in their play and hasn't been for the last month or so, and if you compare that to the football they were producing almost every week in 2016 it's like night and day. Obviously a lot of credit has to go to Wolves who have rose to the occasion, but the blueprint was put down by the likes of Plymouth who stuck 10 or 11 men behind the ball at Anfield and asked Liverpool to play in a way they absolutely aren't comfortable with. In the space of a couple of weeks Liverpool's season has unravelled and they have an absolutely huge game at Anfield coming up against Chelsea. Lose that and what was a very positive and exciting season could suddenly become very bleak.

I think Klopp may have lost the dressing room.

I don't think there's any chance of that actually being a thing, but it's quite clear that he hasn't come up with anything like a plan B yet when his teams aren't flowing and playing with confidence. I think Liverpool could be still playing this time tomorrow and still wouldn't have scored, and I thought the same thing against Southampton.

Klopp's obviously thinking about Chelski in midweek Beechy and you can't treat decent Championship sides like that,just ask Stoke.One positive if they do go out is that it leaves them with just one target to aim at?

9 changes for Liverpool today, which surprised me tbh as the Fa Cup was more than likely the only trophy they would win this season. Top 4 will take some doing at the moment also now. It looks like teams have sussed Liverpool out Beechylad. Maybe Klopps not so good after all. The fans are going mad on the forums, and rightly so.
