FA Cup: v Bolton (H): Post Match Thread

[Lee]

I don't think it has been announced yet, but I'd have a guess at the 3rd or 4th of February.

Thanks Mudds.

No wonder I couldn't find anything on Google.

[Muddled]

You're more than welcome.

I guess BT will have our rights to the replay (amongst others ... if there are any) and then it will all be about the scheduling. We can't do this week because of Chelsea; Then we have West Ham on Saturday at 1500, followed by Everton the Saturday after at 1730 so it shouldn't have too much of an impact if it's either of those dates.

Still less training time for Rodgers, mind.

I saw on Twitter yesterday that it'll be held in the week commencing the 2nd of Feb.

Who needs strikers. Certainly not this window!

We had 9 shots on target and their keeper made six saves?


Thought things like a defender blocking a shot or hitting the woodwork did not count towards a shot being regarded as an on target shot, so how could a game end scoreless if there were more shots on target than saves.


Either the keeper made more saves than is listed or we had less shots on target.



Not asking you vlahka, but just seems odd to have more on target shot than saves in a scoreless game.

Iv never really understood the criticism of fans leaving 5 mins early? Surely it's up to them, they've paid for they're ticket. If leaving 5 mins early ensures you avoid the traffic, and saves a hour off your journey - what's the problem?

Yep I agree.

Many a time I've had to endure the "soft shoe shuffle" while trying to leave the Centenary Stand Anfield is a pig of a ground to get out of when you try and leave at the same time as everyone else.

Once you get to your car you then have to inch forward while trying to get to a junction to turn out of one of the side streets. Leaving a couple of minutes before the end avoids a lot of potential frustration

Our home form is now becoming a concern (5 draws out of the last 6 with the Swansea game being the only victory).

I can see our Anfield form costing us any hope of scraping 4th at this rate

[G]

I presume its because you're supposed to be there to support to the team and you can't do that if you get off early. If its 4 nil to LFC then fair enough but in tight games not really. Plus there's all the spectators who have to move to let you out and the spectators behind them who can't see when they ones in front stand up to let you out. That used to be the one that got to me anytime I went.

Each to their own though.

[Red_Polo]

It boils my piss too. I find it selfish and disrespectful. Without sounding too precious

To be fair the more I look at those stats the more I think they're wrong all over the place. I didnt notice the corners not listed till it was mentioned earlier.

so your criticising people for leaving early but can't even be arsed going yourself ffs

[The Birdman]

Thought we played alright actually.
Just either bad execution of the final pass/shot or the wrong decision in the final third. Would rather that happened home to Bolton when we'll win the replay than in any of the next lot of games.

Don't understand the criticism of Lallana, he did his knee in pre season, got back into the team started to come good then fractured/broke a rib, came back into the side and improved us hugely leading up t the Swansea at home game then did his thigh and Bolton was his firs game back after that.

He has proved 3 times this season that once he has 2 or 3 games under his belt he's very effective for us.

Oh and Can was brilliant, absolutely faultless.

Got to agree with all of that.

[Chris]

Yep. Was organising people too, pushing out instead of running backwards, bringing the ball out of defence (that run in the 2nd half!!) and owning anything they threw at him. Not used to that from our main centre back, was very refreshing!

He looks incredible.

[BobTheCharmer]

I think Can in the middle of a three is where he will excel. He's got all the tools to be a fantastic sweeper if that role ever comes back into fashion.

Replay is Weds 4th Feb at 7.45pm BBC1

[Chris]

That'll be a great night. Should get about 4.5k tickets too though they'll be like gold dust. We'll **** them!
