Deffo. Elliot is an obvious talent but jones has really impressed me in the games hes played. The future is certainly bright.
**** me Cundy and Durham sticking up for Klopp in same day May need to check the thermometers in Hell !!’
Nico Williams must be gutted in a way. Any other prem team and he'd be forcing his way into contention for a starting spot. Just a shame he's behind TAA! He's more than ready to be our backup next season and let Jomez be a CB only
Isn't it great that our win came courtesy of an OG and a VAR decision. I'm sure our usual detractors will love that. Though it is all an FA conspiracy to help us win of course. The same FA who hate us so much they prohibited the game being televised.
Just looking at the match stats. (Pool on the left, Shrews on Right) 58% posession to 42% 12 shots to 3 4 on target to 0 14 corners to 3 1 foul to 14 The kids dominated
I managed to watch it, great display from the whole team tbh. Handled shrewsburys physicality brilliantly and totally out played then with the ball, was literally like watching the 1st team minus the cutting edge up front. The FA must love us after that
I was going to say something, but didn't in case people thought I was accusing Shrews of being thuggish. But really the stats don't lie. Kids turned up to play football, Shrewsbury turned up to physically threaten a group of boys. Its the old, 'if the kid is too good and quick. I'll kick him till he's scared ****less to go near me' routine
I wouldn't say they were overly aggressive but deffo tried to rattle the kids especially early on, all good as it never worked
Have to say there was a massive improvement from Sepp. He won almost all headers strong in the challenge and didn't over commit. Kelleher did his best to throw the ball as he did in his previous matches.
Ahhhh the magic of the cup. A **** lower league team being embarrassed by kids. With Lallana likely to leave in the summer, I think jones could be a good replacement. And Neco could be a good back up to Trent. Save the pounds and we then go big on 1-2 top players
So a mix of first team and kids against Chelsea? Adrian Williams Gomez VVD Robbo Fabinho AOC Jones Elliott Bobby Mane Something like that?
I am not sure but thought getting 53000 to this game was a fantastic effort by the fans There are other teams where the ground would have been half full Will have helped the kids a lot and gave the shrews a proper Anfield experience Great to see
The kids got us through so I think they deserve to play the next round but I can't help but think we should go all out for the treble. The league is won, rest players in league games. Three trophies is a bigger achievement than the invincibles tag!
