Good result in the circumstances.

Happy for Gordon getting the goal, very composed. Tyler Morton morphing in to Thiago for the last 15 minutes was nice to see. Lots to like about Connor Bradley - good on the ball, a bit of a physical presence, smart in attack - although he’s a bit slow off the mark that would worry me against some PL wingers. Was excellent today aside from their goal, if not for Fabinho he’s probably man of the match for me.

Job done. Let’s try and win this one.

Thought it was a sloppy performance, but that's understandable with so many players missing/just coming back. Would've been a much trickier game had we been away from home.

Bradley was very good, and Gordon had a solid first half and great goal. Morton looked stronger and more confident as the game went on.

Good to see some of the youngsters and even better to twat 4 goals in against the absolute shower of shite which are the Shrewsbury fans. Bunch of fucking inbreds.

Nice to see so many of the kids get a run out. A nice mix with the dominant central defence pairing as that's generally been where we've struggled when we've named young line-ups.

The game improved massively towards the end when Shrewsbury came out of their shells a bit. That said, you can see why they didn't do it earlier!

Gnurglan · « **Reply #85 on:** January 9, 2022, 03:58:07 pm »

4-1 and it couldn't have been much better. Lots of kids got to play, we didn't let their goal bother us, Gordon with a goal, Firmino back with one of his goals and we are in the next round. Then of course Fabinho with two goals. Only slight concern is Robertson. Hope he's alright, it looked nasty that tackle.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #86 on:** January 9, 2022, 03:58:10 pm »

All good.

Some nice goals, hopefully no injuries (Robbo?!), and some needed minutes for a few.

Even the absolute misery and his even more miserable co-commentaror doing commentary on tv over ‘ere (world feed I presume) couldn’t spoil that.

MonsLibpool · « **Reply #87 on:** January 9, 2022, 03:58:16 pm »

Was a bit nervy for large spells of the game but I'm happy that many youngsters got more first team action.

Hopefully Robbo’s injury is not serious - its the last thing we need right now

Obviously hope it isn't serious as well but genuinely might be the only position we have senior cover for at the moment. Definitely a few other positions we could do without an injury to!

Comfortable second half. Didn't really need to push ourselves and plenty academy players got a run out. Good game

Solid. Those commentators were absolute twats though (particularly the thinly veiled racism from one of them towards Konate)

Agree they were horrible twats but not sure what you're referring to there mate?

Bless the Shrewsbury fans. It's almost as if they think that we care about what they sing whereas in reality most of us forgot they even existed as a club until the draw was made.

Shrews fans can fuck off with them singing the gerrard song and all.

Score line really flatters us, I mean I know we had a lot of the ball but it wasn't a 4-1 game. We constantly played ourselves into trouble at the back. Least we took our opportunities well.

Great to see Firmino back.

Well is Fab for 2 goals well taken.

You're too kind

We were, understandably of course, shite

BTW, Not sure if if it was the TV crew playing silly buggers but I've not heard Anfield sound so subdued ever

A bit of a bore to be honest. But at least some of the kids acquitted themselves well. Really liked the maturity of the performance from them, played with more poise than some of the senior players. A little end product helps also.

kloppismydad · « **Reply #96 on:** January 9, 2022, 04:01:24 pm »

Shrewsbury travelling support singing about Gerrard slipping.

I mean, the guy is bigger than your whole club will ever be, but go on.

Was fucking funny to see Fab smash in a goal to shut them up quickly.

pretty comfortable throughout and mainly played at a walking pace so all good.

McSquared · « **Reply #98 on:** January 9, 2022, 04:01:35 pm »

Not sure why people are saying we we lucky or undeserved. Sloppy passes in the first half granted, but total control after that. 4-1 win with shrewsbury having 2 shots and 17% possession.

The FA Cup: good in theory, fairly fucking tedious in practice. Well done to get this out of the way under difficult circumstances.

Yeah, this, 100%. Has become a tawdry affair full of kicking and booting, with commentators hungry for a 'giant killing' and referees complicit in levelling the playing field. You just want to get through to the later rounds where decent games can be played. Today Liverpool played 5 youth players and some of their second string. Still Shrewsbury sat deep and refused to make a game of it. So boring. And then at the end as they were clearly losing, they began booting players. Dogshit.

Anyone else catch him muttering under his breath 'knew that would happen' after Bobby scored our 3rd?

The commentators were biased enough today to make Tyler and Neville blush.

just more clinical. could have been 5 or 6 if we took our chances. there are games where we had 20 shots and 1 point. thats football isn't it.

the high line we play means we will get into trouble but we mostly will bail ourselves out of it as our team defending is pretty solid. konate is such a front foot defender its crazy that snuffs out any sort of danger at the half way line.

honestly thought is going to be a tough game when we go down. the young guns are pretty decent bunch aren't they.

shrewsbury didnt offer much of a threat other than long balls and the officiating was pretty ok considering what we have come to expect when it comes to the "magic of the cup"

StL-Dono · « **Reply #105 on:** January 9, 2022, 04:02:45 pm »

Any thoughts on why Jones played so timidly? Seemed very uncharacteristic, but maybe it's just the result of not getting much match time for a long while.

classycarra · « **Reply #107 on:** January 9, 2022, 04:02:51 pm »

Enjoyed that. Mostly comfortable performance aside from the five minute spell in the run up to their goal where our back five made countless sloppy mistakes.

Bradley and Morton both looked very fit, continuing to contribute and compete for the full 90. Bradley had an especially good game, playing a big part in two goals. Enjoys a sliding tackle too. I suspect he's just made it easier for the club to sanction Neco getting the move/loan that he wants for minutes next season.

Gordon put in some lovely touches, and clearly has excellent technique. COuldn't quite weave it all together for extended spells, but did great to score and shows he can contribute even when not massively involved. Once he tired around 50 or so minutes his decision making really dropped off, but looked smart enough before fatigue set in

Why would they come out and play? They would've been torn apart.

He's been out for a while, it does take time for them to get their rhythm back.

Fans of clubs like Shrewsbury are always going to come and sing banter songs at Anfield. The decent-sized group of fans walking through Liverpool singing ‘fuck the 96’ though - different story. These are grown men. Pathetic.

he was injured for a good while, so not that he wasn’t getting played.

Probably lacking in confidence, having an eye injury like that is likely quite a scary situation.

Good for him today to just get the minutes under his belt.

Agree they were horrible twats but not sure what you're referring to there mate?

Saying Konate can't defend but he is very athletically gifted. Firstly, its fucking bollocks (his technique is exceptional and is a very sound defender), secondly it feeds into the common racial trope to reduce black players to their physical attributes.
