Wish I was more upset by this. Poor and disjointed performance but we can’t expect anything less really from the team selection.

Expected more from the experienced players apart from Fabinho who I thought was our MOTM. Youngsters gave a good performance as well.

We have bigger fish to fry lads - we’ve already lost Lovren today through injury and we simply don’t have the squad to play in 4 competitions.
How did you manage it?

Yeah tbf on this point.... Klopp constantly asks the fans for more effort in PL and Europe games but dishes that out to the ones that travel the country for the club.
Surely we all expected it didn't we?
I was more perplexed by the formation than the selection, tbh. The two FB's were nowhere to be seen most of the time that we were under attack. Of course, in Moreno's case that's probably a good thing.....

The 4th round would have been easy. Against Shrewsbury or Stoke.

It’s one thing putting a team that could win it by playing a mixture of youngsters and experienced first teamers. Quite another to put a team which realistically had virtually no chance. And by putting out that team he virtually signalled to his players that he wouldn’t be too upset with a loss.

A changed team yeah...certainly.... the apathy .....? If that didn't come from Klopps attitude to the comp then for senior players to show that to the young guys on the pitch is make sure they trained alone so as not to stink up the place any further
 
Problem for Brighton game is centre back position if Lovren is still out. Do we play Fabinho alongside VVD or play the young lad, who is at least a centre back and would be playing his normal position. We have been unlucky that all our injuries are in the same position. We need to win the Brighton game to get our confidence back
 
Bit dissapointed. Yes it is "only" the FA cup, but the FA cup should mean more than that. Klopp didnt really have a choice; VvD and Robertson needed a rest and had that been VvD who went off after 2 mins, we would be screaming bloody murder.

The 'effort' from some 1st team players was appaling. Seriously, **** Sturridge! Origi may be **** but at least he tried in the 2nd half, Sturridge may be our best natural finisher but he is the prime example of hard work beating talent if talent doesnt work hard
 
Who do you suggest he plays in defence with only 2 fit CBs and 1 fit RB?
It wasn’t so much the back 4, it was the complete change of shape and you patently didn’t have a clue what you were doing. It was bizarre. I thought you’d rest a few, but he approached that game like he didn’t give a **** imo.
 
Well, that was a ****in let down and a half!!! :angry:

For Christ's sake we need a ****ing trophy and he fields donkeys like Moreno and Mignolet! Another season we get dumped out early doors! In Shankly and Paisley's day we threw everything to get something. Not these ****ing days! Christ I'm livid!

Dont need a trophy. Would like one yes. Need one? No...

Over the last 3 years who has enjoyed watching their team more, lfc fans or united fans? United fans can celebrate a couple of trophies, so 2 very enjoyable days. Where as we’ve enjoyed 80% of the season playing the football we have without winning a trophy.

Comes down to the old question, what’s more ijnportabt to you, enjoying watching your team week in week out, or winning a trophy despite playing horrible football

Thats just sturridge and origins standard attitude to be fair.

Not sure Lovrens was all that serious, no hobble or limp, just looked uncomfortable.

Could be only very minor.

If not it'll be Fabinho

When are Gomez and Matip back?

Tbh, I don't think we've taken this competition very seriously for many years. Normally that would irritate me, but this time I really don't care. If ever the bigger fish aphorism had meaning, it's this time.
 
And some people. Not neceserarily on here have said we should offer sturridge a contract extension.

**** that get rid asap.
