Said it before the match, I'm fine with a replay. A break is the last thing our players need.
i agree. Those coming back from injury are way way off the pace and they could do with game time. Same again with no first team players. Probably a wake up call some of them needed.
I was very disappointed with most of that team, not hugely impressive from the young players, and the senior members of the squad - Lovren, Matip, Fabinho, Minamino et al - were all shit.
Adrian was the exception and did well.
Can't deny Shrewsbury that display, and a deserved replay, well done them, a great night out for their fans.

I don't understand this post
Think of how we played against Everton - and think of today.
Today was a shocking performance and I hope the team realizes how if you take any opponent lightly, you're likely to have stinkers like this.
I have no issues with how the kids played - they all put in a shift, and tried. Nice goal by CuJo, though far far far far far far too ponderous on the ball.
My main gripe is with the seniors - they were fucking atrocious.
Matip & Lovren - I know I know, 'first game back,' 'lack of fitness' etc. Fuck that, the passing was shit, their positioning suspect and they just looked uncomfortable. Lovren obviously at fault for the second goal. And before people say 'harsh', think what Joe Gomez and Phillips did together against a far far far better attacking team than the mighty Shrewsbury. That says two things - neither are very good without VvD next to them and Joe Gomez is better than both of them. Last gripe - and it's something Macca has raised many times in the past - why were they dilly dallying on the ball so much when it was 2-0? We just asked for problems.
Fabinho - worst performance I think he's had in a red shirt. Embarrassing.
Origi - garbage.
Minamino - worked hard, but honestly? Garbage, absolute garbage.
The only senior who started who looked decent was Adrian.
We should have lost today. They had better chances and could have easily doubled their goal tally. I hope this is a wake up call to the many players who aren't 1st teamers.

The same 11 should win if they play better. We prioritise PL and CL.
Yep, we have more than enough lads to cope with this replay without troubling the first team too much.
Really couldn't be too arsed about this match. Until we start to struggle and then, despite best efforts, find myself cursing and the screen and needing an extra pint to get through the last 10 minutes.
Too many poor performances across the board. Jones and Williams were decent in the first half, but they was about it. Adrian is the only player who can be relatively happy with himself.
It's another game for the young players at Anfield, though, so I don't see the replay as a downside.

He was gash when he came on against United. He needs time and games to get up to the standard required, we've seen that already. Luckily, we don't need him right now, with how Henderson is playing.
I'm more worried about the attacking options we have to rotate the first choice trio
ie none.
Like I said, missed the game but I think some of you are being really harsh in your criticism of the players who just came back after being on the sidelines for almost two months. Takes a while to get back into it for some. On the plus side, we didn't lose and for the next game Milner, Keita and Shaqiri will be able to play. Don't mind it to be honest.
Yeah I don't either. Origi is like Klopp's weird project to try and make him work somehow
