Chelsea vs Liverpool - (FA Cup - 5th Round)

[destinydude]

We didn’t seem to need Coutinho or a creative midfielder when we were sweeping everything aside for the past year. We just need to go through that period and we will be fine. Hopefully it’ll happen soon.

And we've now run out of juice with no creativity from midfield. High time we went and bought someone who can provide something from the center.

Bad meffs those Chelsea lot.

[Fosterbloke]

Turd. Let's just win the league and be done with this silly pastime.

Jones didn't look great tonight. Hopefully just a once off

[Irishnev]

Sack Origi and Shaqiri off and get Werner. Think if we need another 'proper' midfielder rather than a creative one. If we could get another solid one in, we could 424 almost with Werner/Minamino adding to the front 3. Henderson and Gini both 29 so adding a younger lad into the mix would be decent, no idea who.

I think Jones will make it and he’ll get more game time next season when Lallana is gone. We need front 3 competition/rotation options as opposed to backup......Werner and Minamino (who did ok I thought) will help

A lot of talk about Cantwell. He has got a lot of energy, could be an apprentice for Henderson and Wijnaldum.

Well we can’t sign anyone now.

Doing well doesnt mean we cant improve. A creative midfielder would be a huge help in fixing our current problems.

[vlahka]

We've needed a creative midfielder since Coutinho left. Hopefully this time we grab one.

[BG1973]

We need someone who can pass the ball into the forwards. For some reason that seems beyond anyone at the moment.

The only cute passer we have is Bobby which is a problem.

[Buzzo]

Big time miss Henderson.

It's like the break has ****ed up our rhythm.

I know it's the in thing to have a goalie getting minutes via the cup but if alisson plays tonight then I think we are still watching extra time.

Lallana.... I think that could be it for him. Why play him once the league is finished???

Atletico match is going to be huge

Yeah given our form we could have done without going 1-0 down to a shot goal like that.

[Buzzo]

Eddie Howe’s sides are manna from heaven for us normally.....lose that I go into fear mode

We’ve become a free hit for everyone which means teams are playing us with nothing to lose. Which means they are playing ****ing well against us.

We need to regroup and we need to get the midfield locked down. Fabinho looks miles off it, and has done since he returned. We started playing poorly when Hendo moved away from DM and then have imploded since he got injured - excluding the gritty win v West Ham.

The player that looks like he could do with a rest is unfortunately big Virgil.

[Irishnev]

Disappointing but I’ll save my despair for if we lose to Bournemouth at home

Was a decent start to the game until Adrian threw one in. We had a few chances, but when none of them went in I feared the worst.

We miss Hendo big time. He seems to be the single vital cog in the entire machine.

Also, imagine having the likes of Sancho or Werner (or both) putting pressure on the front three. Origi just not quite the level we are looking for.

Still. We had zero interest in winning this as our lineup in the last round proved. Would probably have been easier to swallow to go out then.

Onwards and upwards.
