Lallana must have some 'personal issues' ..........:sneakoff:

Klopp got out of jail. Doesn't make his team selection right.

I enjoyed that game. Good entertainment. :)

At least Exeter will get some money from the replay.

Good game......not sure who i want to win replay....nice trip to Anfield in 4th Round, or just down the road to Exeter......

(if we beat Walsall.......)

Thought Exeter played very well. Good game of football to watch. trying to predict tomorrow's headlines 'klopp klipped' 'keystone klopps' 'klopp a load of that'?

Most enjoyable. Even the commentators were good tonight apart from when Murphy said something and the commentator said "Absolutely correct ...... but not completely correct. WTF?

Tbh If we were playing Exeter.. Wouldn't we play our reserves???
 

FA Cup 2016

No idea what to make of a match like tonight's match.
I would feel pretty cheated if I'd turned up to see the mighty Liverpool only to see their Development squad. How condescending is that? A draw. Is that a shock or should Exeter beat a team of kids - most of whom will never get near the Liverpool first team again. In my opinion the FA Cup is dying on its backside. Really sad to see. Make teams name a squad of 18 for the Cup and give the winners the fourth Champions League spot.
Magic of the Cup my a*se!

There used to be a thing called the European Cup Winners Cup that was considered to be a proper achievement to win. That's gone too it's all about the money of the Premier League and the Champions League. Nothing else matters. Great shame.

I agree with what Sam Alardyce has said, the FA putting league games 4 days after the 3rd Round has meant that many managers will end up making changes in this competition. They're lowering the importance of their own competition.

I remember when they had cup replays 4 days after the 3rd Round matches. The competition is a long way away from where it once was. It is barely recognisable to old farts like me. Sadly the magic has gone and it ain't coming back.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNXDWBFlcfY League champions playing a fourth round replay in January 1975 against a non-league side in front of 45,000 with a full first team. Wouldn't happen now.

The FA devaluing their own competition. Who'd thought eh :(

Good game this, Klopp has done what so many foreign managers do and underestimated the FA cup and lower league teams.

That sounds familiar.

It's sad but the F.A Cup can no longer compete. Last season QPR received 64 million pounds for finishing bottom of the Premier league, that worked out at more than 2 million pounds per point! The winners of the F.A Cup only receive 1.8mil. Unless a Champions league place is awarded to the winners, as has been suggested in a previous post, then this proud cup will die a slow death.

Can't wait for Spurs v Leicester on Sunday......

One of my sons best mates from school made his debut for Bournemouth today in the cup. Beat the brummies so that's a good thing. Played 84 mins. Hopefully he will get a contract extension in June. Nice lad. Jordan Lee for those interested.

Did they get first choice?

I'd much rather watch Bolton v Eastleigh.

Based on the team he put out first time up I don't see what the argument is:fishing:
 

FA Cup 2016

BT have used last seasons Round 5 for showing a bonus replay (carried forward as no replays available )

They will show Bristol C v West Brom on Tue

Then go head to head with BBC and show Liverpool v Exeter on Weds
 

FA Cup 2016

If Liverpool win they will have 9 matches in January

ALL 9 are on TV !!!!
