Vs Oldham FA cup match thread

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Gerrard on for Joe Allen at half time.

If nothing else we've seen 45 minutes of seeing Allen and Henderson side by side and again Henderson is looking like the better player.

Our passes forward aren't finding anyone, even the goal Suarez couldn't find Sturridge and that's the kind of passing we've seen so far.

Starting too really dislike these bunch of dirty sly cunts.

Changes at half-time:
I'd take Townsend and Tyldesley off and replace them with sock puppets..

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

How did they win a freekick there? Skrtel goes with his head, there player leads with his arm? FFS

[Bender]

need to realise this was not going to be a walkover

[Exiled_red]

Smith with the header turned over by Jones, surely he was fouling Coates?

[Daniel 7]

Coates is a climbing frame now apparently

[Muddled]

Oldham:

Boot ball to lanky striker. Mop up any bits around the second ball.

[McDermotX]

Anything goes in the box apparently.

[Gibbo]

Hmm Smiths a bit like a certain ponytailed Geordie.

£35m bid anyone?

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Recently he's been very poor, IMO he needs to be take out of the side for a while

It's getting to the point where he is such a liability it's hard to play him back into form, now I'm not saying he's been awful in this game but in the bigger games he has.

If he carries on like this he'll need to be moved on or at the very least loaned out come the summer.

The one time in life where being deaf would be an advantage.

Is there a League/FA Cup rule that only lower league teams can use body checks, dangerous play, elbows, shirt pulling etc. while their PL opponents can not? This ref's criteria is fascinating to me.

[danperkins]

I just can't see a place for borini in put first team. Rogers always plays him on the wing and he's shocking there... Just runs around a lot without offering anything. And there are better players than him centrally.. Technically awful too.

[Fredo]

Think the referee is being too lenient towards that Oldham centre forward. He's been climbing and fouling Skrtel all game. Even his goal looks a foul.
