Topic: Rumbelows cup: Bou 1 vs 2 Liv Gakpo 31’ Kluivert 64’ Nunez 70'

[Chakan]

Tricky conditions but a good win!

Onto the quarter finals!

[jillcwhomever]

Considering how mad the weather was, it’s impressive both teams managed to create some decent chances!

That goalie of theres at the end though

I said in the commentary it was hardly a Alisson moment. 

[Bobinhood]

We made pretty hard work of that second half but my overwhelming impression is "Damn we've got some good players!"

Jones was excellent. Quansah is incredible period but for his age that's nuts. Matip was quietly excellent. Mo. Dom. Darwin. The lot of em really. Its crazy.

[kennedy81]

Quansah is fantastic.

The lad is going straight to the top and what's best is he's ours.

We've so many good young players now. The bones of the next 5 years is there with so much potential still.

[duvva 💅]

Great result. Glad I am not on the flight back in those conditions.

I’d walk back before getting on a plane in those conditions

[KevLFC]

Nailed on to get Chelsea/Newcastle away.

[WorldChampions]

Quansah MOM, played liked a seasoned pro. Awful conditions so glad to just get out of there with a win.

[Brain Potter]

Port Vale at home next please

[Gnurglan]

2-1. Great strike from Nunez! The wind caused us problems in the second half. Thought we were a bit slow to play the ball upfield. The ball seemed to stop at the feet of Quansah, but can't say it was all due to him. Defensively he was solid once more. Overall a good win. We keep getting goals from our front three and lots of players are involved. Promising!

[TheShanklyGates]

Great win in those conditions. The draw has really opened up now - hopefully we get a lower league team in the next round. Either that or one of the big boys at Anfield so we can take them out before the two leg semis.

[vicar]

What a goal by Nunez. Loved their fans jeering when the pass went under his foot 

Conditions were terrible, their corners with the wind were close to undefendable.
Quansah looks fantastic, so composed and in control for his age.

Lets hope we dont get the Saudis or the Blue shite in the next round.

[Fromola]

Could have done with putting it to bed first half given the conditions were against us in the second. Didn't do ourselves many favours fucking about with the ball at the back in the middle of gale force winds and torrential rain. Good job we went strong with the bench as that saw us through with the subs.

Just needed to get the game won, and did.

[Kopenhagen]

Good win in deplorable conditions. Showed our mentality there. Get in there, Darwin.

Quansah looks a genuine prospect at centre half. That was some performance. MotM for me.

[Robinred]

Awful conditions, and a win away in the cup. So don’t want to be churlish.

But I thought we tried too hard to play football, particularly in the second half.

[PhiLFC#1]

Should be winning this comp now with only Newcastle and Chelsea half decent threats

[tray fenny]

Nailed on to get Chelsea/Newcastle away.

nah bluenoses mate

[DangerScouse]

Should be winning this comp now with only Newcastle and Chelsea half decent threats

West Ham are a bigger threat than Chelsea!

[S]

When’s the draw?

Opening up nicely now. I’d take anything except Everton or Newcastle away.

Nailed on to get Chelsea/Newcastle away.

Everton away will be harder than Chelsea.

[12C]

Horrible conditions wind got stronger as the game progressed. Thought Kelleher was clattered for their goal. But we dug in. Thought Gomes and Kwansah were outstanding. Szobo struggled to get his passes going after half an hour. Thought Elliot had he right ide in trying to run with it.
The mad bastard from Uruguay. What can you say. What a goal.
All good. Get warm get home get ready for the next one.

[stockdam]

Glad to hear the whistle as that wind was very tough. In-swinging corners from their left wing in the 2nd half were hard to defend.

I thought 1 goal in the first half wasn’t going to be enough. Great goal by Nunez. Trent had a great run and a decent shot.

MOTM was Quansah with Matip close behind.

A hard fought win so on to the next game.

[Jean Girard]

Cup football. Into the next round on a shitty night.

[meady1981]

Wembley pens vs Chelsea, any one?

[smicer07]

Don't fancy knocking Everton out?

[jillcwhomever]

Awful conditions, and a win away in the cup. So don’t want to be churlish.

But I thought we tried too hard to play football, particularly in the second half.

The commentator on LFCTV was driving me nuts he was so stressed out. But how exactly are supposed to defend properly in conditions like that? The ball was being taken off people's feet by the wind! I thought the corner flag was going to take off at one stage.

It must have been difficult to work out what to do for the best. Kelleher launched one early on which ended up blowing back to the edge of his own area, so there was no easy way up the pitch

[TheShanklyGates]

When’s the draw?

After the Mancs v Saudis game finishes.

[S]

Don't fancy knocking Everton out?

Don’t fancy our players getting butchered!

[Fromola]

And Bournemouth ran their socks off all game which is fine, but they won't give a shit at City on Saturday.

[jillcwhomever]

I think you could tell by how hard it was for the subs to settle into the game. Both Trent and Macca had some difficult early moments before they settled down more.

[masher]

Would take any win in those conditions, onto the quarters.

[RedG13]

Awful Conditions. Won the game and got through.
What a goal by Nunez. Good performance with the conditions

[Dim Glas]

It was a tad stresful like  20 mins or so of it. But they managed to get it together after conceding.

[shank94]

I would actually rate this as of the great away wins of the season. I think Quansah gets the MOTM. Gomez was great all around the pitch but I am unsure about his initial ball watching as Ciara dictated some of the play. 

[4pool]

Job done in absolute shite conditions. Well in lads. Happy Days. 

[buttersstotch]

Hard to read too much in to the performance, the conditions were awful. Bournemouth played them to their advantage in the second half, feel we missed a trick with this, but that's not often how Klopp plays. Thought the subs took 15 minutes to get in to the game and play to the conditions. Main thing is we won and in to the next round.

Quansah was fantastic, really assured and he can play with his feet too.

[jillcwhomever]

It was a tad stresful like  20 mins or so of it. But they managed to get it together after conceding.

Oh yes, I know! But in conditions like that it's never going to be easy. They are starting to pass a lot of questions asked of them, this team.

[4pool]

Ball numbers:

1 - Middlesbrough

2 - Port Vale

3 - Liverpool

4 - Chelsea

5 - Everton

6 - Fulham

7 - Manchester United or Newcastle United

8 - West Ham

[Wingman]

Nailed on to get Chelsea/Newcastle away.

Didn’t lose either of those in the league. Newcastle would be tough but you’d like to think we’d dick Chelsea.

[jillcwhomever]

Klopp is so proud of his players tonight.
