Merseyside's Marine v Tottenham Hotspur

Marine have always been a good club, I'm sure I remember them from a previous FA Cup run, 1993 I think

Jason McAteer played for them, not sure if he played in that cup run but he certainly played for them in or around that time

My abiding memory of Marine was in Round 1 of the 1995/1996 FA Cup where the were hit for 11 by somebody and when MOTD played the highlights they played "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" as the soundtrack.

Are they allowing any rescheduling due to Covid  or you must play or forfeit ?

I see Derby are playing their U23 team.

From the outside it looks like if you're a big team it's rescheduled, it it's a smalll team, forfeit.

Outbreak at Villa now, that'll be a test.

So they could have had a nice mid season break which all the clubs are in favour. Klopp has been complaining there is too many games and the players are at risk. 

Origi and Shaquri should have started instead of Mane and Salah.
Makes no sense to have Fabiano even in the squad.

Agreed,
I'd be raging if I were Origi\Ox or Shaq.

However, 2 years ago Liverpool had a bit of a break and returned from the break a bit sluggish and drew with Leicester and it was that game that you could argue cost Liverpool the title.

If Klopp had fielded a weakened team, he'd have been criticised for doing so. They players didn't need a break seeing as they'll have over a week before the United game.

Put yourself in the Villa players situation, would you rather have the experience of playing against world class players like Mane & Salah, rather than Divock Origi. Given the likelihood that none of them have a career at the top level, I know what one I'd pick.

Klopp has always fielded a weakened team in the cups.

I wonder did Klopp want to exert revenge for the previous 2 hammerings Villa gave to Liverpool.

If the players don’t need a break this season then why are they pushing for 5 subs and a mid season break to be introduced for a normal season? 

And why would Liverpool give a f*** regarding the Aston Villa youth players experience. 

I doubt Klopp would get criticised for fielding a weakened team. It would have been seen as good management to take advantage of the situation. 

I’m sure Salah and Mane wanted to play but there was really no need to risk them.

I just think he'd have been damned if he did, damned if he didn't.

And he wouldn't care about the Villa players, why should he. But I was saying that from their point of view.

The 5 subs gives the big team every advantage to use the vast quality available to them outside their starting XI. It shouldn't be a surprise that managers are looking to get every possible competitive advantage they can.

He loves a moan. The same thing with him complaining about the amount of penos United have been awarded, despite Liverpool only being awarded 1 less than them this season.

Marine have signed somebody from a rival club on a 14 day period as he is not cup tied.

He is on the bench (David Lynch) but that’s denying a current team member a place on the bench.
Seems poor form to me.

On the other hand they have sold almost 25k virtual tickets as fans all over didn’t want them to lose out on their big pay day.

Hopefully Bale comes on at some point.

Jaysus, talk about ignoring the facts. Go look at Liverpool's fixture list for the past 3 months and you'll see it's two games most weeks. That's the point about the 5 subs rule. Liverpool have 9 days off after the Villa game as has been pointed out.

Eh that’s my point exactly.
Every team in Europe has been playing nearly 3 games a week and it’s a shortened season. Liverpool will be playing a lot of 3 games a week going forward.

They had a perfect opportunity to give the first 11 and main subs a good rest after the Southampton loss. The players could have had more than a week off with no training to recover.

13 days v 9 days between matches...  which is better for the players to recharge the batteries?

Do you think the European teams with a mid-season winter break do normal training every day during their break??? 

They will do light exercises and probably have daily massages etc but they won’t be doing a normal training session before a match.
That’s the whole point of the ‘break’.

They have individual programs which they need to stick to when they don't have organised training but the European league breaks are different. Take the Bundesliga for example, they normally have around a 6 week winter break. Players do get time away from organised training but when they return they go through a mini pre-season again which is why many of those teams go to the likes of Spain and towards the end play organised friendlies. If you give Liverpool players are week off with no organised training then they won't be in optimal shape when they come back so cannot perform to their max. Most the would get is a day off and back to training.

For all those who say the FA Cup isn't what it was (and there's a lot of truth in that, sorry to say), can you imagine what that game would have been like in a packed Goodison?

I put SU and Wolves to Qualify rather than win, brought it down to 5.5/1 and going with that

Bet still looking good 

Everton v Spurs was a great game.

Leicester had me worried. Got their winner with 94 mns on the clock with 4 mns added time. I thought it was destined for extra time

Wolves, a team going nowhere in the league, won’t qualify for Europe and won’t go down, rest most of their best players in a home FA cup tie to Southampton

Very strange. Specially when they gave the Europa League a good crack last year.

Really hope Everton go the whole way and Seamy can lift the cup. Draw tonight, a manchester derby in the quarters and city out of the equation could help their cause.

Delighted they did. They were truly awful! Great debut from Salisu. Armstrong was fantastic again. The Scots have some great talent at their disposal atm with him Tierney, Mc Tominey, Robertson to name a few. Just thinking about it none of Ireland's players would get in their first XI. Great draw for Saints as well away to Bournemouth. Pity there'll be no fans there as it will be a cracking tie!

Good draw for the 1/4 finals, some tough games to call.
Chelsea will be happy with that.

There appear to be problems behind the scenes at Wolves, and it is the manager's responsibility to sort this.

In which context Nuno will not get sacked for losing an FA Cup match. But if he cannot stop the decline in their PL performances/results, and stop it soon, then his job will be at risk.

No behind the scenes problems at all from what I gather.

Nuno went for a complete system revamp for this season and it's totally backfired on him, and the players he had last season he sold so he can't revert the system - To emphasise how badly backfired it's gone for him, they had 1 shot on target vs Chorley.

They went from a press high up the pitch team to a put 10 men in the box and use the pace of Adama etc to counter, it's been a disaster.

Fair enough.

But his job still isn't at risk for losing an FA Cup game.

Which is why I suspect he is throwing everythig at his next few League games, where some more defeats could get him the sack.

The Jimenez injury and loss of form of Traore this season wouldn't have helped. 
Even the sale of Doherty as well, Semedo not nearly as effective.

Maybe, but the people don't employ him, this geezer does:

As for how charitable he is?

"Through the auspices of the Fosun Foundation, Guo has donated an aggregate of up to 600 million RMB to charity causes to help fight poverty, improve access to education and provide natural disaster relief"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guo_Guangchang" rel="nofollow - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guo_Guangchang

Which sounds very impressive, until you realise 600m RMB equates to £67m GBP, while his net worth is estimated at £5bn.

Were I Nuno, I wouldn't be buying any green bananas...

Pep has rested a lot of players today. Still a strong team but 3-4 of their best players are on the bench. 

Edit:
Bad day for Man City.
KDB goes off injured.
Jesus and Sterling have been poor. 

Chelsea 1-0 with mins left

It’s got to the stage now where if City bring in their rested/squad players it severely weakens them 
Jesus, Sterling and Torres are no threat at all and are out of form at the minute, Sterling horrendously so

Agreed.

The fact Pep only made 2 subs was telling.
Mahrez and Silva should have been brought on at least to have a go. They had plenty of time.

I hope he does the same for the League cup!

That was really noticeable all throughout the game. They haven't a patch on the strongest starting XI at the moment.

They also need a world class striker in to the club, even the first choice side looks a bit toothless at times 


You’d get away with bringing in out of form squad players into a side to play Fulham or West Brom in a league game, but not against a good team in a semi final.

De Bruyne injury sounds bad so that’s massive for the CL semi final now

It was a game made for agureo to be start/brought on.....but that ship seems to have sailed.really was an awful game to watch and Chelsea deserved it purely for the fact that they attacked that bit more purposely than city.

The problem with the players that were brought in was that they lack match sharpness/fitness..again a trait of peps to constantly play the same 13/14 players.but still it was no real excuse for some that players,sterling was shocking,Jesus offered little,Torres poor and cancelo seems to have lost his form also the rodri/ferindino partnership just doesn’t work.

A new striker (or two) has to be brought in next season...I could possibly see a big name move out and it wouldn’t surprise me to see sterling go.I don’t think the KDB injury is as bad as feared and I wouldn’t lose to move sleep if he was out for next games as city have played unbelievable football while he wasn’t in the side earlier in the season.
