This is not the Liverpool thread though, it is a match thread

Longford would have beaten Liverpool tonight. They have no shape whatsoever. No width nothing up front nothing in the middle when they loose Torres and Gerrard who are both far from full fitness.

cmyk

Gutted...got to think that may be the straw to break the camel's back as far as Benitez. Torres and Gerrard to leave at end of season too perhaps?

Watching ITV? If he says SEAN Long one more time..

Well done Reading, can't say they didn't earn that win.

Liverpool however were shocking. Both, United and Liverpool going out of the FA Cup in the 3rd round, I wonder if that's ever seen happened before, let alone when it last happened.

1959 i think the commentator said


Reading deserved it in fairness

Liverpool awful again, lot of players out there with no passion tonight

The Muppet

Enjoyable game, Reading deserved their win, should have had at least another goal.

Can't blame the pool fans for booing, that was a atrocious performance, the defending in particular was abysmal.

Kess73

No excuses tonight nor should there be.

Those Reading lads, to a man, are heroes for their fans tonight. They have come to Anfield and they were worth their win. Well done Reading and I hope you lot get a good long run in this cup.

As for my own team; well the results that have defined this season continue. Tonight we lost to the better team, but when that team is from a lower division, questions have to be asked about our quality both on and off of the pitch, and our manager's lack of tactics have also to be questioned yet again.


People will talk about us being able to string a run of wins together when we need to, people will spout off the nugget "Form is Temporary, Class is Permanent", but the same old talk has been spouted since September both by the players and the manager with no effect.

Come the summer I reckon a Bob Dylan song will be our soundtrack.

Indeed, good result and well deserved for them they worked hard and with our two most influential players gone off and Benny choosing this one to have as his off game, were definitely struggled.

I'm too angry to post about our performance tbh

Booing at Anfield?? Is Benitez finally losing the support of the home fans..?

Certainly seems that way.

If Liverpool sack Rafa you will get to see how different it might be alright.

If you're an opposition fan, I wouldn't be too worried mind you, you'd be delighted with what you see.

The Utd-Brum match thread then?

I just want to know how much further the board has deteriorated.

Rofl benitez yet again counts his chickens before they hatch

Villain

Utd and now Liverpool gone its wide open really, but the cup has lost the appeal over the past few years.

Now cue Utd fans slagging Liverpool fans, try to remember the Leeds game before you starts cheering Reading

Boggles

Happy for Long, he is a good lad by all accounts.

Well done Reading. Could have got 4 or 5 for a finish.

Spiritoftheseventies

No way was that a penalty. Happened outside the area. Outrageous decision.

Oh I have learned that lesson , Lumped on them when they were 1-0 down against Reading in the first match thinking that they would power home .

Tell that to the fans of Reading tonight and any other lower league side who beat a big club.

Havant and Waterlooville comes to mind. I know they didn't beat Liverpool but to score twice at Anfield is a fantastic achievement for such a small club and is great for their local community.

Stupid comment, Rafa may not be the man to bring Liverpool back to where us fans want the club to be, but he is far from being a clueless manager. His record with us and Valencia proves that he is a good manager, one that needs, in my opinion, a different club to prove his quality.

I am sick of this shit. Something has to be done. New manager? New defense? New strikers? I don't know. They can't hold on to a lead against a team fighting to stay in the championship. They can't score. Week-in, week-out they have been useless with the odd exception. Its actually depressing watching them play now. Another season without a trophy and i can't see them finishing fourth. The way the team is at the moment i don't know why Torres, Masc, Gerrard etc would want to stay. Theres no commitment or passion in the players. I don't know....

Reading just wanted it more it seems

it was a great performance from them and delighted to see long score the winner

first time I have ever agreed with booing .........players were disgraceful tonight and completely deserved it. Only Liverpool player that had even a hint of a good game was Aquilani. Fell away at the end through lack of fitness though.

Fair play reading, thoroughly deserved. Hope you's go far in the competition.

Sad sad day for Liverpool.............

I only know one Bob Dylan tune. Is Alex Higgins going to take over from Rafa ?

We didn't look good at all tonight, and it's noticeable our goal came with a slice of luck involved. We were ahead when Gerrard left the pitch and if you look at what was left, bar Carragher, Benitez signed everyone of those players who weren't good enough to beat a poor Championship side.

We were bad. But wasnt a penalty. Look at it again. Foul happened outside the box. Will say Long took second goal very well

Johner

It was a foul, sure he went down easy but he was fouled.

It was a clear, stonewall penalty.

As an ex Gooner well done Brian McDermott, came across very well in the interview there.

Backed a draw at half time, delighted with the result. whos was the player who made that class run in the second half, no audio on my stream.

Well bye bye Liverpool. Along with MAN UNITED who LOST to LEEDS.

Brilliant header by Shane there, he knows a few lads I'm friendly with and is a sound lad apparently, had them all over to Reading last season and put them all up for the night, took them out on the town, no expense spared and footed the entire bill himself.

Class act, delighted for him.

The initial contact happened inside the box.

Clear peno.

Although I thought Liverpool should have got one at the end of extra time when Aqualanni was being blatantly held.

I'm sure there were plenty of Liverpool fans in that thread slagging United.

Its part of the fun really. Keep it in good humour, and i dont see the harm. If you can't handle seeing a few people being happy that Liverpool were knocked out of the cup by a team that really shouldnt have won, then you are taking it way too seriously.

He has actually never achieved a whole lot with a team he has built himself

No it is not the Hurricane, my favourite Dylan song btw not that I am a big fan of his.


The song that I was thinking of as the soundtrack for the summer is
The Times They Are A-Changin'

Fair play to Reading .

Stoke said they will not fear Liverpool at the weekend. At this rate, we'll fear them.

i take it thats a dig at the board and how if he had more money he would achieve success,well reading didnt have anything near rafa did last summer,and that goes for birmingham villa all who are ahead in the league.

wenger has been working under a tighter budget for years at arsenal,and look at the difference,rafa has bought bad players,pennant keane,lucas babel,the list goes on.

You can't see it then?

The difference between being up for the opposition team and coming into a match thread just to rile up the Liverpool fans?

The difference between a "yes!" and a "hahahahaha"?

You can't be that dense. You wouldn't do it in a pub to Liverpool fans you don't know - just more hiding behind the internet.
