Post Match - Shrews (H) - Kids are alright!

[LeTallecWiz]

Youngest line up in Liverpool history, and they played really well most of the night.

Tough to fault any of the players - as they're fucking kids - but they should all savor this moment and the crowd deserves much credit for filling up Anfield and letting them taste part of the magic.

A few players obviously stood out.

Neco Williams - MoTM ... up and down, up and down and really should have had a goal. I'm starting to think we don't need RB cover with him.

SvB - People mocked him etc, and he was good the whole night. Won everything in the air and I felt like he was just the better CB tonight.

Pedro - he controls the game well, passes the ball effortlessly but lacks the strength - physically and when he passes the ball imo - unfortunately to make it at the highest level here. Will do great in Holland or Spain.

Elliot - Talented, hard working, determined but seems subdued compared to that Villa tie yet again. However, put in a great shift and he'll be fine as he learns the tricks of the trade.

Jones - how fucking talented is he? captain's performance.

Oh, and great seeing some of @mark1975's kids make their debuts tonight ... Props mark!

Well done Mr Critchley.
Well played Mr Klopp.


Fucking Awesome Young Reds 🙂

Amazing, really proud of the kids. Only saw last 20 minutes of the 2nd half, but was very impressed by their game management. We didn't give them a chance for any last-minute siege and spent the last 5-10 minutes mostly near their corner flag, which is exactly how it should be.

To be fair Shrewsbury were really, really shit.

Apparently more people just turned out to watch our kids in the FA cup than City have ever had in a Champions League match attendance. Factoid from Oncy.

 

[FoxForceFive]

If we get past Chelsea, that means the Palace game will be moved I think.

 

[Treboeth]

Fortress Anfield lives on 😀

 

[Shadey]

Them lads out there tonight some may not make it to the big time but they can hold their heads up high as they’ve done them selves proud and Liverpool fc proud, Klopp must be having an even better holiday now and I can’t wait for his next interview. Take a bow lads.

I don't get why their goal was disallowed - didn't Henderson have something similar?
He was offside when the play started, but wasn't involved, and then got back onside and scored?

Clear offside. The guy on about 5 secs.

Yeah, I dont get it either.

[tomasjj]

The lad coming back from offside at 5 sec in?

 

[rurikbird]

Everything Klopp touches this season turns to gold, doesn't it? People were bewildered by his selection in the cup against Everton and that turned into one of the highlights of the season. Now he got to take a principled stand, give all the senior players (and himself) a well-deserved holiday and still we're in the next round and the kids got invaluable experience. Feels like he can do no wrong at the moment.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Yeah, I dont get it either.

Ah the video above highlights it - he was offsides when the shot was hit (the commentator went on about how it was the pass to Udoh)

 

[Frogfish]

The lad coming back from offside at 5 sec in?

Yep. He plays the ball back when clearly offside (or at least a leg was).

 

[LeTallecWiz]

The lad coming back from offside at 5 sec in?

So why was Henderson's goal ok then? He came from an offsides position to join the play and score.
It seems he's offsides when the goalbound shot is hit

No it's here. As the commentator clarifies.

Considered a new phase. He didn't touch the ball when in an offside position and play had all gone past him before he re-entered.

Here's the goal :

 

[FoxForceFive]

It may be technically right, but it's a load of bollocks.

I'd be pissed off if that were against us.

LiVARpool innit

So it's the first pass in the sequence? They didn't show lines or anything, but it seemed tight. Oh well, not complaining. Happy for the lads - they deserved it.

 

[JurgenKlopp]

Yeah, I dont get it either.

Was it not the goalscorer when the initial shot was saved? At time of shot he was Infront of him and our last defender

 

[LeTallecWiz]

ta - defo offisdes.

Was about to write the same. This super-human ability to spot the slightest offside in the buildup goes against the spirit of the game. They need to adjust how they apply the rules next season.

 

[Raz]

It was the goal scorer that was offside, was it not? Looked clearly off.
