Topic: FULL TIME Liverpool 2 v Leeds 0 (Origi 76', Woodburn 80')

[Rush 82]

58' - Lucas (yes Lucas) with a penetrating run through the middle. Passes the ball to Can just inside the box - sadly, with Moreno to his left, Can seems to forget where he is and takes a poor shot straight at the keeper.

Leeds about to make a 3rd sub.

[Rush 82]

60' - Can threads a ball through but good defending from Taylor to shield the ball from Mane

We're staring to play a bit better but still nowhere near what we've become used to this season.

Moreno passes the ball through to Gini who is pushed out of the field of play. No foul.

62' - Stewart requires attention after copping a hand in the face.

[Rush 82]

63' - Stewart appears to have recovered. Philips crosses the ball to Roofe and Klavan does well to shadow him and block the kick. Corner

Bartley gets onto the end of it (pretty unopposed) but heads wide.

Stewart off for Woodburn.

[Rush 82]

65' - We were playing with 10 men and Mignolet makes a good save to his left as Leeds break through.

[Rush 82]

67' - Leeds looking threatening for a good 6 minutes or so. Mane earns a FK on the right. Once again, we've got bodies in the box but are unable to actually do anything with it.

We're looking so static in the final third.

[Rush 82]

69' - Origi appears to limping a bit. It has to be said that the first teamers (Can, Mane, Origi, Gini) have not had the impact we would have expected.

[Rush 82]

71' - Story of the night. Gini with a sharp chance across the face of the goal that strikes the post, comes out, is struck again into traffic and no goal.

That was as close as the Leeds effort

[Rush 82]

76' - GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLL
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLlllll

Origi with a strikers poached goal

AA you beauty - what a stunning cross

Liverpool 1 - Leeds 0

[Rush 82]

78' - Origi down - that does not look good unfortunately.

Looked like Milner was coming on, but Origi continues

[Rush 82]

80' - GGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

Woodburn scores

What a beauty. Stunning backheel from Ejaria to Origi who sends it neatly to Gini with a lovely touch to Woodburn who smashes it in

2-0

[Rush 82]

81' - Milner on for Ejaria

82' - Leeds......are offside. False alarm

[Rush 82]

84' - Leeds throwing the kitchen sink at it now. Sacko wastes a good ball and blams it into the Kop

[Rush 82]

[/size]Clyne is a quality player, but you get the feeling that if he's ever injured or suspended he might have a very hard time indeed winning his place back from young Alexander-Arnold. That was a cross of the very very highest quality.

[/size]


 

[Rush 82]

Apparently young Ben is now the youngest player by some 3 months to have scored for the Liverpool first team.

[Rush 82]

86' - Taylor with a cross to Wood who heads it tamely into Mignolet's hands

[Rush 82]

88' - FK to Leeds in a dangerous area. Lucas protests to no avail.

Phillips kicks it miles over the top.

[Rush 82]

89' - Divock brought down again by Doukara - he is very, very lucky not to have collected a 2nd card and sent off.

and now Origi is given a Yellow for giving the ref lip.

As he is subbed, the crowd chants "Divock Origi", Klopp gives him a great big hug and a couple of slaps on the back.

Grujic on.

3' added time

[Rush 82]

90+1' - YNWA rings out loud and proud as Leeds mount an attack and catch Lucas napping a bit.

Nothing comes of the opportunity.

[Rush 82]

90+2' - Long kick in from a FK, 2nd ball finds and offside Leeds head.

The last few second tick down

[Rush 82]

and that's the end of the game.

Semis here we come

[Red Raw]

Well, I thought the youngsters did pretty well tonight and a fabulous fairy tale finish for young Woodburn.  Thrilled for him.

Gotta love a semi . . .

 

[justsean]

Trent looks a bloody good player.

[Titi Camara]

Semis here we come

Dirty fucker!

[Clint Eastwood]

Milner's a good lad isn't he.

[Kenny's Jacket]

Milner's a good lad isn't he.

Yes and Lucas.

[Upinsmoke]

Tough game. We showed our quality ultimately in a couple of decisive moments but was really difficult so made up to be through.

[Caston]

Wasn't the best team performance but who cares, through to the semis and made up for the kids tonight.

[Wullie160975]

Loved the fact that within seconds of our first goal that Lucas went straight over to Alexander-Arnold to congratulate him on the cross.

[TheShanklyGates]

Got away with it a bit tonight but the result is all that matters.

Absolutely delighted for Ben Woodburn, brilliant moment for him.

Less said about our 'fans' tonight the better.

[Gifted Right Foot]

Woodburn!!!!  Thought Trent and Ejaria were great tonight.  Made up for them. 

[SerbianScouser]

Third league cup semi-final in a row. Let's win it this time.

[alvaro]

Good win, great to see such a young kid scoring a goal in front of the kop.

It was nice to see the team playing with a black armband as well.

[sms1986]

Knew we would get through in ninety minutes, and what a contribution from both Origi and Woodburn, as well as the rest of the kids on the pitch!

[gerrardisgod]

Lucas is boss.

[Caligula?]

Absolutely made up for Woodburn, what a week the lad's had. 

We were really made to work for that, credit to Leeds who took the game to us in the second half. Our quality came through in the end though, and that's all that really matters. On to the semi-final.

[Rush 82]

Dirty fucker!

[Circa1892]

Lucas a top class player and a top class man. That's all.

Oh, and well in Ben Woodburn.

[hesbighesred]

Third clean sheet in a row, another highly professional 2-0 with 2 latish goals after a very hard fought match, great showing from the youngsters and also really nice to see Mane and Wijnalidum, who had worked hard but had lacked a little something, combining beautifully with Origi to set up our youngest ever goalscorer.

The kind of disciplined, patient and professional performance that we haven't seen regularly, if at all, since Benitez left and, because of that, one of my favourite matches to watch this season.

[keyop]

Two goals, a clean sheet, into the semi finals, and a 17 year old scoring in front of the Kop to become our youngest ever goalscorer.

Marvellous. 

[killer-heels]

Never in doubt. Some of you were crying over nothing.
