FA Cup - 4th round
- Thread starter Samid

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Ah well, it was a fun tie to watch.
The sending off and that missed chance cost Bolton the tie.

Ah! their glory days when all they had to do was give it to Jay Jay.
Palace will beat them.
Get the tattoos out
Pardew, its up to you.
Was really hopping for some RAWK meltdown today
Dwight Gayle to punish these lot in the next round again.
You gave me false hope
It's little to no consolation but at least it's another tough fixture for Liverpool to contend with on top of the Premier League and Europa League.
Dwight Gayle is licking his lips.
Ah well. You've always got porn.
Well, that was a decent game despite the result. Hopefully Palace knock them out in the next round.
They will struggle to get past Palace.
Subbing Joe Allen was the turning point.
"Narrative narrative narrative narrative"
All the Liverpool players doing their part to carry Gerrard to Wembley
Phil Neville doesn't have the smarts to notice that.
I wonder how many times the FA Cup final being on Stevie Hollywood's birthday will be mentioned whilst Liverpool are still in the cup.
I predict triple figures.
Oh, and Brentan smugly walking onto the pitch as if falling behind to a penalty and winning it late on was part of his plan all along.
Bolton never stood a chance really. They were out on their feet at the end.

Zaha!
Lolz at that win. To be fair, it was a soft pen and Bolton offered nothing in two games.
Fully deserved.
Just glad there was no ET. Didn't care if we made it through. Sturridge got some cobweb cleaning minutes which is all that mattered.
Oh and another chance to see the splendour of Can.

Nach. I mean you've got bigger fish to fry than this mickey mouse cup, right?
Got more important priorities for sure. If you offered me an FA Cup or fourth spot tonight guess what both of us would take.
Someone's not considering Stevies feelings here.
I'd be pretty 50-50 on that choice... but then we haven't won the cup for ages and it's really starting to piss me off.
But even if I was definitely more concerned about getting 4th, I wouldn't "not care if we made it through". I would hope that we could potentially handle four extra matches this season and try and do both.
I'd never be so obsessed with getting 4th that some tiny perceived disadvantage to staying in the cup worried me. If I got to that point I think I'd have to re-evaluate what I was even getting out of football anymore. Definitely don't remember getting pissed off with all the cup football as the 98-99 season developed.
The RAWK-Gerrard-inspired-poetry continues, the bastards!
What if someone offered you the chance to go through or not to go through.
I agree with this. Another 30min wouldn't be beneficial towards the derby next Saturday but feck that, I want to go through, especially with so many big teams out of the competition. The moral boost for the lads of winning this game after falling behind in such a daft way is compensates how deep we had to dig to get this result. And if you need any extra motivation for our next game, you're not worthy of being a Liverpool player. They'll all be fit and ready for sure.
Awful dive to get the penalty. The lad should be banned for the rest of 2015.
Can looked dead sexy last night. Looking to good for defence, though I am quite happy with the central axis we have at the moment. Can-Skrtel-Sakho behind Lucas-Henderson is a lineup with all sorts of reassurance in there right now.
Please don't tinker with that, Brendan.

They're cringeworthy again.
Really? I thought Bolton caused you all kind of problems until the needless sending off.
Yep largely shit and in trouble until that point.
I didn't really get that sense. Sure, they had attacks, but they weren't that threatening to my mind and I didn't get any sense of the panic I've been so used to seeing at the back this season. I felt like we were coping well and like the players exuded the same. Not often that happens under rodgers without being a few goals up.
I thought Bolton created about two chances the entire match (not including the dive for the penalty). Don't think they offered much going forward at all.
Didn't stop them looking like winning though did it, Liverpool on the other hand were struggling for the equaliser until the stupidity of the red card.
I prefer to think of it as us struggling to get the equaliser until we subbed off Joe Allen.
But yeah, like the others, I didn't feel like Bolton troubled us. Our finishing was letting us down again but apart from that we were in control and creating chances.
