Liverpool v West Ham, FA Cup, 5.30pm, BT Sports 2

Osmosis Jones

Mignolet is so bad, no idea why he passes short.

Buford T. Justice XIX

Do we practice our crossing against 4 and 5 yo children?

Even they would cut out our crosses once they were over 3 foot tall.

Kerrigooney

I've seen better games on my front lawn.

Osmosis Jones

Very food play from Ibe there

5starpool

Ibe did well there for that move a couple of times.

Why does every southern team sing that stupid "Sign on " song in every game against Liverpool since the 80s?

Might be my imagination, but it seems more prevelant this year than usual.

Jesus, a half-decent Liverpool corner. End times must be upon us.

martyos121

Whoever took that corner, must be our new captain.

Nah, it's sang at nearly every game in Anfield, even by fans of teams from shítholes, like Sunderland.

Osmosis Jones

Another good set piece

Kerrigooney

Brannagan gets great whip on his crosses.

SlickRic

Acquitting themselves well so far are the kids.

martyos121

Brannagan looks as good as Ward-Prowse with his set pieces. Needs to make the match day squad more often, even if that's all he can do. There's no point having Benteke on the pitch unless we have someone like him feeding him.

Every team sings it even those in a lower divisons, they are also singing about Gerrard, very sad

niallo27

Another euro for the fund

SlickRic

Impressed with Stewart so far.

Well if I was a West Ham or Sunderland fan (ugh) for example, I certainly would be singing about anything other than my own team.

Turtyturd

Unlucky, that's what Benteke needs to be doing more of to be successful in the team.

Not wanted to claim victimisation but it sounds almost like an anti scouse 'racism' thing. Can't think of stuff like that with other clubs. Could be wrong of course.

Kerrigooney

I love Slaven Bilic for wearing that hat all the time. He doesn't give a ****.

My last game i was beside the away fans and they had more songs about Liverpool than there own team

If Henderson or can starts ahead of Allen midweek klopp needs a kick up the hole
Currently best midfielder at the club

Osmosis Jones

A lot of soft fouls being given, can't call that's a high foot at all.

5starpool

Not sure how that was a free out. The West Ham player had his head really low.

I think it might have been for a shove just before.

West Ham seem to be getting all the calls, very soft free kicks given to them

Singing feed the scousers lol welcome to 1985 West Ham fans

SlickRic

Joe Allen is actually far more intelligent a footballer than any of our other midfielders, if we're honest.

Seriously, take away the fact he's Rodgers' son, and ask yourself the question.

Vicxas

Missed most of the first half. Any flashpoints?

5starpool

Great shot by Brannagan. Lovely save.

Turtyturd

There's the Benteke we all know and...eh...would rather see on the bench.

Texiera too smart for him.

Kerrigooney

Someone needs to tell Ibe he's allowed to pass to the other lads in red.

Good shot and save there.

The big problem is that our midfielders are all too similar, Allen offers something different and would help the others play better too.

I was at the game midweek and I couldn't get over how ****e hendo and can were glen whelan dominated midfield
Allen moves the ball far quicker

Ludo

O'Brien and Jelavic on...christ. Suddenly a strong WHU team is not looking that good.

Buford T. Justice XIX

Rick Grimes kills another walker with a shot to the head.

Kerrigooney

2 posts between my double post...that's new.

Osmosis Jones

Lovely boos for the ex Everton man. He's well gonna score now

~Rebel~

I like that the kids aren't afraid to play the ball to the feet of someone in the box, trusting that they can hold off a challenge and make another pass...the seniors never do that, instead passing around outside forever before losing it or shooting from miles.

A ball to feet in the box, with others making runs for the layoff, causes chaos in the defence.

Osmosis Jones

This ref is having a laugh, nothing fouls everywhere.

Harry Palmr

That double sub could be either forced but for the good (Jelavic to score) or an issue late on.

Buford T. Justice XIX

I wouldn't mind seeing either of Stewart or Brannigan in the match day squad.

Both able to move the ball well.

Also part of the team that missed the ball out of play mid week for Man City's goal V Everton

~Rebel~

For a big fella, Benteke generally has no interest in hustling for the ball.

Also seems to hate a quick layoff and just hangs onto it pointlessly when he gets it to feet.

No. Probably too cold for streaking

Osmosis Jones

Benteke still needs to get going

dfx-

Ibe is not really good enough in the games I've seen him in. Teixeira should be the first team regular instead.

5starpool

How is that not a yellow card for Reid? I thought things like that were automatic yellows these days?

Grayditch

Playing well enough. West Ham are set up well and I'm not sure we'll get anything from giving it to Benteke on the ground.

Buford T. Justice XIX

Benteke doesn't really get this whole football lark.

Rick Grimes strikes again.
