Topic: Half time: Fulham (1) 0-1 (3) Liverpool

[Higgins79]

Great first 35 and then lost our way for 5 mins. Step back on it early doors second half and kill off these Tory meffs. Fancy booing a kid because he got his dream move from some no marks.

[Hestoic]

Fulham are at home in the second leg of a semi final with a narrow scoreline and their fans can only be arsed to make any noise when Harvey is on the ball.

Anyway 0-3 for us as they start to throw everything forward and leave themselves exposed. Gomez brace. Why not.

They're embarrassing themselves by booing him.

[jonkrux]

We're  playing pretty well to be fair, one more to put it to bed please. Oh yeah, palinha is shite.

[JRed]

The yellow on MacAllister shouldn’t have been a free kick at all apparently.

I don’t think it was from the angle I saw. It is a contact game after all.

[jillcwhomever]

Is it just me or is the crowd for us and Fulham really quiet?

Unless they've turned the sound down as they sometimes do. God knows why I'd sooner listen to the crowd then the commentary team.

[TALBERT]

Even though our bench is full of kids just bringing:

Jota and Robertson on would be impressive

[Fromola]

Doing all the work up top, Gakpo looks lost.

Gakpo's touch been good from deep, not got into it further forward.

[Jean Girard]

In awe of the 2 kids playing on our right. Keep waiting for Quansah and Bradley to put a foot wrong and they just keep doing the right things.

Otherwise there's a lot of managing the game going on here. I think we have several more gears. Be nice to do a big 15 after half time and just finish them off. 

[Claire.]

Is it just me or is the crowd for us and Fulham really quiet?

I was really baffled by the ‘your support is fucking shit’ in a cockney twang. Most of them have only turned up to boo a kid it seems.

[lgvkarlos]

Can someone give Andreas a kick up the arse, a right petulant brat.

Complaining about playing advantage, two liverpool players stopped at the whistle who had won the ball.

[Draex]

Konate, Jones, Robbo and Jota is loads of experience?

[Fitzy.]

Very good overall. Excellent start. Fulham huffing and puffing but broadly unthreatening.

[Bobinhood]

That Bradley can sure play football!

[Claire.]

Sturridge costume change for HT.

[RyanBabel19]

Excellent.

Few standouts, Bradley and Quansah look so assured

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Sky Sports in full on depressed suicide mode

Fuck you absolute fucking c*nts


Get fucked you crying fucking southern wankers.

[Ma Vie en Rouge]

No, no, please do give them yet another free kick for absolutely nothing. Simon Hooper being utterly shit, and often behind the play, as usual. We're way better than them though, looking in control.

[paisley1977]

Who is this commentator on SKY? said the tackle on Mac Allister wasn't a foul.

[Samie]

Quansah and Bradley have saved us a fortune in Defensive reinforcments going ahead.

[TALBERT]

Sturridge costume change for HT.

I quite like Sturridge

Rather him than Carra and Neville - glad both are absent…

[RyanBabel19]

Also, wtf is Silva losing his shit about? Haven't seen any big calla go against them for him to be screaming

[Jetmir M.]

All the young lads fitting seamlessly in Bradley especially has caught the eyes. Despite the usual comments, Kelleher had done well so far.

Any word from Tommy? 

Been excellent for first 30 minutes, and then a few lost challenges in key areas gave them some hope, but start the second half like we did the first and this will soon turn into a procession.

[Yorkykopite]

Just like to add my appreciation of B&Q.

He has one of those faces, that you want to laugh at so whiny looking.

[Red Beret]

We seem to be in control. Just need to keep focus and not switch off. We have a few cards we can play in this game, but Fulham need two goals to take it to extra time. Ideally we bag another quickly after the restart to put the game beyond them.

[Mister Flip Flop]

Great performance against a team of yard dogs. This tie is over just have to make sure we come out with no injuries as they will go out of their way to do a couple of ours if they can. Hooper actively encouraging them utter shithouse fat wankstain

Talking of which my better half is convinced Andy Robertson has dyed his hair darker when she saw him warming up

[jillcwhomever]

I think we know what he thinks. 

[TALBERT]

Quansah and Bradley have saved us a fortune in Defensive reinforcments going ahead.

Hopefully both can drive into the first team and not fizzle out like Flanagan and Robinson…

[OkieRedman]

Glad we got that early goal. All but dead now. Robinson is pretty good. He would walk into United's side.

[StL-Dono]

We looked great in flashes and merely okay for other stretches.  Gomez and Quansah and Bradley and Kelleher have all been excellent for me. I can't point to anyone having a bad half.  We gave them a little life late as it seems we eased off a bit.  They were aided massively by some lucky bounces finding their feet, especially in the final 10 minutes or so.

I thought Hooper actually had a pretty good half.  Saved his two worst decisions for the extra time and I hope that isn't a harbinger for the second.  No foul on Mac that he gave the free kick and missed the pretty obvious handball along the sideline.  Neither hurt us.

And, I've never heard these Sky commentators before but they seem a breath of fresh air.  Just calling the match with no obvious rooting interest.  Pleased with them. 

I expect them to score one.  I expect us to score at least one.  On to Wembley.

[Paul_h]

Nunez should be aiming for a brace..

I thought that when I saw a picture on twitter. 

[Gili Gulu]

Might be trying to gee up the crowd a bit.

[has gone odd]

Been excellent, especially after the goal. Place turned into a library after that and Fulham fell to bits.

All the kids playing well and we look in good shape. 1 more would be ideal, since you never know.

Officials have not been totally shite either, which is a plus.

[lgvkarlos]

Great first 35 and then lost our way for 5 mins. Step back on it early doors second half and kill off these Tory meffs. Fancy booing a kid because he got his dream move from some no marks.

Yep, pathetic from the crowd, let's hope Harvey can bang one in.

[TALBERT]

Klopp’s diy defence…

[Red_Mist]

I love how comfortable on the ball all of our players are. It doesn’t matter who he picks. The whole team are happy to receive it, drop a shoulder, jink the other way, stop, turn, look up, give and go, get it back, ride a challenge, ping it out wide….and on and on. I know we tailed off a bit towards the end of that half, but there was a 20 minute spell after the goal where we just looked absolutely fuckin boss!

[Yorkykopite]

Nunez should be aiming for a brace..


every game

His teeth aren't that bloody bad.

[duvva 💅]

Some talent coming through. Who’d have thought Quansah and Bradley would be stand out performers for us in a semi final a few months ago?

It’s really great to watch. So solid, not out of place at all in the biggest game of both their careers
