Klopp has never got us past the 4th round in the FA Cup in 4 attempts. Wolves (twice) West Ham, & West Brom have all knocked us out early doors. Thankfully Shrewsbury doesn't begin with a 'W'.
He did his best to get knocked out last round, but again today he'll have to perform wonders to go out.

Early days and he was cheap. But hopefully Mini me is as average going forward as he's looked in every game so far.

Liverpool do not even try much to win the cup. Although they might grind their way to a semi and then knock City out anyway with the best team.
It is rare to see a top side like that ignore the cups so much. Still I guess they want to win the league so bloody much that they take 0 injury risks.

Crazy selection from Klopp.

I actually thought Klopp just started caring based on the line up. He mixed young and experienced players this time which surprised me.

Has the commentator mentioned that Shrewsbury used to employ a man in a coracle to fish footballs out of the river?

You know he will if the silverware is in sight...
Give them City next then before they are close to win it. Sadly they both get easy draws normally. Maybe say West Brom could knock them out. I remember them doing it recently.

Think a team like West Brom, Norwich etc would be perfect like you say, Klopp would play his C team and lose.

Adrian has been a handy signing for us.
Been one of the best this season tbf. For a free transfer it’s been great. With Mignolet or Karius there’s no way this unbeaten streak would be there.

Donald Love :lol:
So it was our old legendary defender. Moyes who did buy him too from us after having been terrible for us. To be fair I think he only started two games for us. Young, Valencia, Shaw, darmian, Jones, Rojo and Varela injured then I think.

The highly touted RoShaun Williams is also in their back line.

Poor second half. Matip & Lovren have been awful when pressed.
