The FA cup is important for English fans, not for intl supporters and nowadays the intl marketing brings in much more cash.
I personally couldn't give a rats ass about the FA.
@JohnBenjamin well, they are an english club, playing in english league, in front of english fans... aren't they...... no more excuses boi... admit they bottle it again and again :D
@GioMonaldo Good question. My Dad likes talking about this subject. He says that there were several reasons:
• Overall, attendances at professional football matches were falling rapidly.
• Interest in European football was growing and the League was going to be reorganised by making Division 1 smaller (it took a long, long time for this to happen).
• Some other countries, such as Italy, had similar competitions.
• It also copied the idea of two-legged ties from Europe.
• All matches were to be mid-week as, by then, all football league clubs had installed floodlights.
• A power struggle was also going on between the FA and Football League.
Liver is the only big 6 club to get a PL adversary in this competition. They're really trying to prevent Liver from winning titles this season, but they'll fail miserably.
Ruddy touched the free kick from Shaqiri
shaqiri is so good at freekicks he always hits the target with power
Even the bleakest midwinter Mondays can have their small pleasures.
The results are usually not good when vDijk and/or Wijnaldum are not playing. Stupid idea of Klopp to play these 11, while facing a BPL team...
Next year!
@GioMonaldo hahaha
what a weird lineup from Liverpool, not too weird seeing them lose playing this 11
The downfall has begun.... Bye bye Klopp :D
@stefanm Strategic loss to focus fully on bigger trophies.
@ParkingInspector Yeah, it will be really strategic when they bottle the league.
@ParkingInspector Fa cup is very important no matter what other fans tell to you my son. At the end they will be empty hands

Why is there two cups in England?

@GioMonaldo Because they're daft and the BPL play too many matches per season. Thats why they have a hard time producing international success.
I blame Lovren...for both goals!
@moo13 He doesn't have vDijk to hold his hand...
@JohnBenjamin Yeah, the nights can be pretty tough and cold sitting on the bench.
1-0 Jimenez nice goal
did lovren get injerid?
@deo90000 yes
Wolves might win this match.
WOLVES Ruddy , Bennett , Coady , Boly , Castro Otto , Dendoncker , Neves , Vinagre , João Moutinho , Jiménez , Jota SUBS Doherty , Cavaleiro , Hélder Costa , Gibbs-White , Saïss , Norris , Traoré
2-1 Wolves. Jota to score.
@alwatp I'll be shocked if Wolves do not win 2-0.
LIVERPOOL Mignolet , Camacho , Fabinho , Lovren , Moreno , Milner , Keita , Jones , Shaqiri , Sturridge , Origi SUBS Kelleher , Firmino , Mane , Salah , Hoever , Christie-davies , alexander-arnold
Liverpool should start with youngsters such as Curtis Jones, Rafael Camacho and Ki-Jana.
If Liverpool play Moreno and Mignolet they will concede. If they play Sturridge as their main central attack they will lose this game.
@daveco7 Sturridge is better than both Firmino and Salah at the striker position, mate. Maybe because he is actually a striker.
@splint3r - How long since you saw a Liverpool match?
It is best waiting for team news an hour before the game.
Klopp has said he will be rotating players and that it would be mainly squad players.
Draw 1-1
zero attention from liverpool to that Cup. Klopp will definitely bring in a semi-reserve squad. See this x1.
Liver is the only big 6 club to get a PL adversary in this competition. They're really trying to prevent Liver from winning titles this season, but they'll fail miserably.
Wolves to progress.
