Liverpool v Havant & Waterlooville- Match Thread

[bigfooty]

Ball ping-ponging around the Havant box, Kuyt lets it go for Crouch, he can't dig out the shot, Kuyt again, blocked, another effort blocked.

[Catrin]

looking on the bright side at least we are virtually through and will be on first in MOTD tonight.

[Joe King]

Crouch scores!

Was he offside?

[Red_Al_77]

5-2 Crouch

[alunevans]

crouch has been poor, to be fair i don't know why so many are keen for him to play, he's been **** today

stop ****ing moaning he's just scored

[bigfooty]

Crouch scores for 5-2. A good counter-attack finished off by Stevie picking out Crouchy unmarked to roll it in.

You and big footy will have a great time in your sack Rafa thread post game.

Will you be making your own one again Niall?

[Neil Young]

Have to say, I think it was a mistake not to play Kuyt from the start in this game.

The one thing he always does is get involved, I think any "lack of quality" he might have would have been negated by the standard of the opposition. He's been much more effective than Crouch since his introduction imo.

I agree but what are they saying on Radio5?

[Morph]

As has already been pointed out, it isn't an opinion formed on this one game alone Morph, lets face it, we have been very poor for a while and I personally know what I expect from Liverpool having been brought up in Merseyside watching football in the 80's, and this isn't what I expect dude.

I know but i am treating this in isolation like i said because it's the fa cup, everything else is unacceptable but that's for midweek v west ham not today

[cobain]

hahahahahahahahahaha flmao!

commentator: "Crouch ... Kuyt ... Crouch ... Kuyt ... Crouch ... Kuyt ... One of them?!?!" after they didn't know what to do with the ball ...

Johnny if Kuyt coming on for 20mins is good management then what is Gerrard coming on for 4mins about then?

A romantic would say that minnows like H+W who led twice deserve to play a few minutes against our best player.I think it`s a nice touch.plus he just got an assist.

It's called fair play to H&W. They came up here to play against the big names, and Rafa is giving them the chance to say they did.


I like the move personally, their fans travelled this far and they've deserved it.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Creating the 5th goal?

But I take your point.

Not impressed either.

[johnly]

Well in big lad!

[Gazzla]

5-2 looks a bit more respectable. Hope Crouch gets a bit of confidence after scoring in his last 2 games
