Exeter v Liverpool 3rd Round FA Cup 8/1

[silkyman]

Not really, they were about the same level as Exeter. However, after seeing today's performance I would give that team a go against City too.

If the best kids Liverpool have at their disposal are about as good as a mid table League Two side, you've got problems.

And I'm sure that any top flight club would have similar problems. I'v never been a fan of the 'U21' leagues which replaced the old Reserve system. It's breeding a generation of pansies who don't know what to do with themselves when they come up against someone who is able to tackle them on a pitch which isn't like Wembley.

You see these young lads on loan in the lower league all the time and so, so often they just aren't up to actually playing competitive football.

Seriously why did they buy Bogdan? It looks like the guy can't save a shot if it's not straight at him! The ball on the first goal was not far from him and his lunge was very slow.
I think Klopp is prioritizing the League Cup over the FA Cup and not being too ridiculous in the league and Europa League. If he can start his first season with a trophy then that's a good point in his favour.

Late to the party but here are the tactical versions of Smith's goal...

We should use this replay as a shooting practice for our strikers.

We should use this replay as a shooting practice for our strikers.

And play Texeira.

Hoping we play Teixeira tomorrow, can't see Sinclair being involved. Ward and Caulker are unavailable having not been registered for the original game.

Would pop a few of the more experienced lads in, just to be on the safe side. Games like this fill me with nerves when you look back at cup upsets of previous years.

Hoping for something along the lines of:

Bogdan
Randall - Toure - Sakho - Smith
Milner - Allen - Texeira
Lallana - Ojo
Benteke

Would also like to see Kent and Brannagan involved at some point.
