Official Match Thread: v Arsenal (A) FA Cup Fifth Round

[Milk not bear jizz]

Do we want a cup run this season with the league so tight?

Would it boost or hinder us?

Both. I suspect in the end- the boost it gives will balance out with the stress from extra games. I can take or leave the cup right now. If we win I will be exstatic. If we lose... ah well... I'm more focused on getting back in Europe this year. That's our real goal. Then once back in Europe let's start winning all the silverware again.

And we did that at yours. OH NO, I forget, it was your scintillating play that made us look poor, not the other way around

That's very perceptive and honest of you

At this point it feels like a free game. Great if we win but mainly I get to watch Liverpool without having a heart attack every time we lose possession.

Maybe the players will also find it useful to play games that don't have the maximum level of pressure on them

Feel free to read the media, you'll find they all claim the opposite and that it was Arsenal playing poor, way to fall in line

Your defence was the same players that you guys had bragged about having the best defensive record in the league. Our pace, movement and finishing destroyed them in the opening twenty minutes, get over it.

I'm just replying to your WUM comments

No worries. Still don't get why you're three points behind us though...?

Arsenal are looking poor, last night they got lucky with a draw. I'm going for 0-9.

Unlikely, it's a cup game so no point in goal difference and we would rest half our team after 6

This has already been explained. Do try and keep up

Come now, we won't score 6... just 2 or 3.

The only explanation I've seen given is that you're behind us because you had to play Chelsea and City one after each other. Flawless logic there... you're right... Liverpool would probably still be top if they were the only team that didn't have to play the two best teams in the league

Fixed.

You haven't played Chelsea away yet and at Man City away you conceded 6

Fixed.

This should help you understand. Every city supporter I spoke to said we deserved the three points, which.......





......= us ahead of you on goal difference. QED

Half our team in three substitutions?

So we'll take off Suarez, Studge, and Sterling then?

Two others players, and Cissoko, will take a nap on the field- to make it half the team resting?

Guessing that's aimed at cini65 as I am a Liverpool fan.

They can just sit down in the centre circle and force Arsenal to keep a couple of players in their own half in case we play a long ball for them to chase

I hope the ref will let them bring popcorn to the centre circle. Should be rule allowing that.

 

[Foredeckdave]

Let's be honest, Arsenal are now a complete irrelevance. It's our decision how we wish to approach this cup tie and they will just have to cope with the result of Rodgers decision.

They can't beat mid-table sides at home yet still believe they are a quality side.

Bang on Trex. I know you're a Red
