    He was far more effective playing a free-role or more centrally yesterday.

    Decent game on Saturday. Pleased to earn a replay.

    I think many teams will observe how Mourinho set Spurs up against our high line and try to play a similar counter. Danny Murphy called it "genius", I just see it as pragmatic.

    I thought it was typical Mourinho - boring. If a team set up like that against him they would be “parking the bus”.
    I thought MOTD gave a totally biased report of the game. It looked like Spuds had the better of it abs they didn’t :emoticon-0121-angry

    I have to disagree Dave. I thought it was an even game between 2 sides looking to attack and win the tie. Both sides could have scored 3 or 4.

    I've just realised I can't go :(



    Don't suppose there's a remote chance they move it outside the winter break.

    All at teams who have blue and white on their home kit too.

    Wigan, Brighton and the Skates.

    Klopp has announced that neither he nor the Liverpool first team will be involved in their replay...wonder if that will be true for either us or Spurs...after all breaks may have been booked.

    I agree if that is what the club want...but interesting that Klopp has decided that having a break is more important for him and his players. May have something to do with having other fish to fry...the cup is more important for Spurs and Saints.

    My away record this season:
    W4 D1 and the draw was Arsenal which really should have been a win. The club really need to ensure I get a ticket. :)

    He should have tried to win the first game a bit harder then.

    Liverpool and Spurs both have the extra Champion's League games to take into consideration. We don't need the break as much as they do.
