Klopp should have put more effort into winning this game then if he dont want to worry about replaysChris_from_Sidcup said:
Klopp will definitely not want a replay, although to be fair he'll still play kids in it plus it's not as if they have to field full strength sides in the league any more.ForeverAddickted said:
Very half hearted attempt to avoid a replaypaulie8290 said:Firmino and Salah should have come on as soon as it went 2-2
Not wait until there is 7 minutes left to bring Firminho on, what is Klopp expecting in 7 minutes lol
Fully expect Klopp to moan about having to play one if this finishes 2-2
Its about time the BBC got a good FA Cup game though, they usually end up making god awful selections
Reckon they'll keep hold of Chirivella now0 -
They love a pitch invasion. Im getting flashbacks of the wankers when they beat us in the playoffs0

great performance from the Shrews .. they'll lose but will be on a right good earner at Anfield0

Still can't stand Shrewsbury. Glad we did the double on them as we went up1

I was just reading this thread and shocked that everyone else doesn’t share the pathological hatred I have for Shrewsbury, thanks for restoring order @Braziliance !Braziliance said:Still can't stand Shrewsbury. Glad we did the double on them as we went up1 -
The FA cup needed that game. Great comeback for Shrewsbury, an excellent second half after the easy wins earlier this afternoon for the Manchester clubs1

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed no 1st team players will be involved in the replay and he wont be managing the team.
I understand he couldn't manage the team against Villa when he wasn't in the country but to not manage the team in a cup replay at your own ground is rubbish3 -
Disrespectful to Shrewsbury as wellpaulie8290 said:Jurgen Klopp has confirmed no 1st team players will be involved in the replay and he wont be managing the team.

I get those who mention we shouldnt forget how twattish they've been of late but at the end of the day its Liverpool they're facing - Biggest bunch of twats in the English game3 -

Yes, I wasn't aware that the winter break was for managers as well!paulie8290 said:Jurgen Klopp has confirmed no 1st team players will be involved in the replay and he wont be managing the team.

That's crazy from Klopp and totally disrespectful.
I completely get that he wants to rest the first team and play kids, that's absolutely his right, but to not turn up himself? Ridiculous.
However in his defence, what is the point of the premier league scheduling a winter break.............and then the FA scheduling cup replays in that winter break. It's either a break or it isn't.1 -
Wasnt Bowyer in the stands watching at the very least?guinnessaddick said:

Guess the FA can say that if you take the Cup seriously and dont play kids then unless its an all Premier League tie you shouldnt need to play a replayChris_from_Sidcup said:That's crazy from Klopp and totally disrespectful.

Some potentially decent cup ties in the 5th round draw.
Chelsea at home to Liverpool (if they beat Shrewsbury)
Sheff Weds v Man City
The BBC will be having a wankfest if Derby beat Northampton as they will play Man Utd.
Portsmouth home to Bournemouth or Arsenal.2 -

Already its Wayne Rooney who could face former club Man Utd rather than Derby facing Man Utd
Its a shame because you know BBC will select it yet cant lose; either they get Wayne Rooney v Man Utd or they get Northampton v Man Utd
Shame it couldnt have been a shit tie like Aston Villa v Man Utd had Derby not won1 -
Whoever signed off that handshake thing during the draw needs sacking1

They’ve done that a few times now. Seems to be since the draw has been incorporated into the one show.cafcsinger said:Whoever signed off that handshake thing during the draw needs sacking0 -
Full draw:
Sheffield Wednesday v Manchester City
Reading or Cardiff City v Sheffield United
Chelsea v Shrewsbury Town or Liverpool
West Bromwich Albion v Newcastle United or Oxford United
Leicester City v Coventry City or Birmingham City
Northampton Town or Derby County v Manchester United
Southampton or Tottenham Hotspur v Norwich City
Portsmouth v Bournemouth or Arsenal

Great tie for Pompey, but will cup success - they are in the semis of the EFL Trophy again - derail their promotion bid?

Bad news for @Covered End as well if Cardiff beat Reading in the replay I can see them beating Sheffield United at home1
-
Nah, Sheff Utd will be fine against either of those sides. Wilder isn’t the type of manager to let his players take it easy.1
-
Pretty sure Wilder was manager when they lost last year at home to Barnet.Callumcafc said:Nah, Sheff Utd will be fine against either of those sides. Wilder isn’t the type of manager to let his players take it easy.
Just saying if Cardiff do win the replay, its not gonna be an easy win for Sheffield Utd and there is a chance our game will be postponed.
More than if Cardiff were away to City or Chelsea anyway lol0 -
I like looking back at the “roots” of each FA Cup tie, since each tie is assigned a ball number regardless of who wins, it’s easy to track who would be playing who in alternate universes.
Specifically looking at WBA v Oxford/Newcastle, I noticed that not a single “root” of WBA’s path came from non league:
R5 WBA ->
R4 West Ham ->
R3 Charlton/Gillingham ->
R2 Doncaster ->
R1 Sunderland/Wimbledon
Whereas their opponents Oxford/Newcastle produce a far more complicated root:
R5 Oxford/Newcastle ->
R4 Oxford/Newcastle ->
R3 Rochdale/Hartlepool ->
R2 Walsall/Boston Utd/Exeter ->
R1 Hayes & Yeading/Wrexham/Yeovil/Darlington/Carshalton Ath/Cambridge Utd ->
4Q Brackley Town/Hednesford Town/Poole Town/Chesterfield/Haringey Borough/Tamworth/Dag & Red ->
3Q Sutton Coldfield/Hendon/Leamington/Lowestoft Town/Warrington Town/Blyth Spartans/Tooting & Mitcham/Cray Wanderers/Hereford
...and I’m not typing out any more but you get the jist.0 -
Fair enough. Sheff U are my dark horse for the competition based on the way the draw is falling for them.paulie8290 said:

Safe from relegation, mixing it in the top half. I reckon Wilder will fancy his chances of taking his boyhood club to some silverware.0 -
They could make the final, I just think it’s so hard now for one of the lessor lights to beat one of the big sides in the final when they’ll play all their best players.Callumcafc said:

Not to mention that the 5th round ties are all midweek games. No replays from now on either.Off_it said:
