But tonight was difference, OK it wasnt what we expected but we are through and we showed bottle.

In all honesty i think this was to prove to the tw*t of a Chelsea manager that there is just a bit more to liverpool than defending  :D

Oh and heres Gerrards goal

He is totally sh.it, no class and his awl clod hoppin pensioners are sh.ite.
Cmon Lakes youve said 100 times on here you wanted fat Sam as manager.
The only time I wana see that :censored: at Anfield is when we are playing Bolton once a season.
Moanin :censored:

no i have not said that a 100 times i said it twice in fact, if you like you can look back at all my posts, At one time Sam looked better than Rafa to me, When we was looking for a new manager i said i would take Sam over Rafa as Sam has a history with the prem and was coming in cold. end of.

I dont think Rafa expected a cup tie against a lower division would be so tough. I was watching Copa Del Rey highlights yesterday and non of those ties had the exitment or passion of this one.

yes you are right, the FA cup is a one off, Look at the history of it, there is none in europe like it. and that is why shocks happen....and that is why we love the FA.CUP

Carson 6 - I felt dodgey during the game. Led in with his feet and not his hands while trying to save + I though he was gonna be sent off
Finnan 7 - His usual consistant self got forward well and provided some good crosses
Hyypia 5 - Shakey in the game today a tad slow with reaction speed not his usual self
Carra 7 - Not his fantastic self but made the effort and never gave up
Riise 6 - Oh dear didnt stake a claim to win his first team place back. Joined in the fight back effort fine.
Gerrard 8 - Goal was fantastic, dribbled and passed fine, To be honest he played like Gerrard usually does
Sissoko 6 - Slightly absent, ran and chased brilliantly but didnt do to much
Alonso 8 - Second half he was fantastic found his touch and passing ability that was lacking in the first half
Kewell 7 - Recieved some unfair critisism, he played well enough made some flicks and tricks and passed quite nicely
Cisse 5 - Is a generous score, missed 2 glourious chances with heavy touches not to mention the penelty miss (joke of the match award)
Crouch 6 - worked hard but didnt do much.
Sinama 8 - Pivitol in the turn around, I hope that performance gives him a chance in the first team ahead of Cisse

Rafa was furious with something after the penelty, Does anyone know for sure what it was. I thought it was cos cisse missed the penelty, but it was suggested it was because the player should have been sent off.

some people on here think we just have to turn up and flash the club crest at the other side and they`ll fold.
it doesnt work like that in england and the players in the lower league`s spend their careers praying for a crack at one of the big guns. the lads in the lower leagues are good players but usually short of a yard of pace or something, but what they`ve got is tons of guts and a willingness to fight for the cause.
i`ve got to wonder how long some of you have been watching liverpool, for most of my life we have struggled in the cups against so called lower division sides and some of the players you rightly hero worship like kenny daglish, often trudged off a muddy pitch with his socks rolled down having been knocked out the f.a cup by a second division team. we lost a semi final 4-3 to palace when we were league champions and had barnes, beardsley and hansen in the team - where we a disgrace then?
its just the cup, and i for one am thankful that the team could pull it off because i`ve seen us lose them kinds of games many many times.

However, we need to take into account, that a team that was in the third division (using old terms) of the English leagues last year was playing the EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS, so they would have been more than up for it.
For some of those guys it will have been the biggest games of their lives to date, and may even be the biggest game they ever play in. Also the simple matter that this was the F.A Cup, and though not as important in the grand scale of things as it used to be, it does still have that magic about it, that make such games happen, year in, year out.

The negatives are all to apparent, so dont think I need to touch those, but in terms of positives, the resilience and fight we showed was excellent. The Liverpool of a year ago today, would not have had the self belief that we could come back, and we would be out.
But that night of 25th May 2005, did more for us than bring home the trophy for keeps. It also gave the players the belief that WE CAN come back when behind in games, and we do have the quality to do so.
Much in the same way we came back at the Reebok last weekend, a year ago we would have lost that match too.

At least we are through and still the possibilty of another Cup along with the possibility of still winning the Champions League again (though defending of today will be puished sverely by 'better' teams!).

We went what 9 or 10 games without conceding a goal, and playing against Chelsea,Betis,etc... Even Boro and Newcastle had players who were capable of scoring goals but we didn't let them.

What it's important is that we correct our mistakes, in the past few games we haven't done that. We made mistakes against Everton and conceded a goal. We did it against Bolton and now today. We can't keep doing this if we want seriously to push up in the table.

We made it far too difficult than it should had been, but it was entertaining non the less.

Going 9/10 games without conceding means nothing in the eleventh game though does it A.B?  That was shown at Eerton of course.

Now of course mistakes are going to be made, and mistakes were made during our run of not conceding, the difference is, we were not punished.
But I think that, that run of games, has blinded people slightly to the reality of football. You WILL concede goals at some point, even if we go on another run of say 15 games without conceding, we will eventually. The key thing is, IF we do concede, that we dont let it affect our game and get all caught up in the moment. Because if the players are on the pitch like 'Oh no, we have conceded, Oh S*it' then they WONT have full concentration on the rest of the game, which more than likely will lead to conceding another.

Of course, it is poor that we let three goals in against a Championship side, but as I aid before in my initial post, you have to take into account how BIG this game would have been for those players. They may never play in a game that big EVER again, and guess what they did themselves and their manager proud and can definetly walk with their heads held high.

The F.A. Cup has something special about it, something NOBODY can explain.
These games ALWAYS happen in the Cup, each and every year.

Luton deserve credit, but so do our players for pushing on and doing what had to be done.
At least we dont have a replay to add to our already backed up fixture list.

Spot on.

Remember how much we used to struggle against the Bolton team with Mcateer in it, and also Bristol Rovers in the nineties.
You're right, we do tend to struggle against the 'lesser' teams, not because we have disdain for them, but because we are a legendary club, that most of todays footballers grew up watching in our glory years. To these players, Liverpool is the team they all want to play and beat. Because they were watching and possibly supoporting us, when we were rewriting the history books in the late 70's and the 80's.

Not manchester United, Arsenal or Chelsea, Liverpool FC.

good post mate, in that run without conceeding a goal teams had chances but didnt stick them away, it was down to luck as well as good defending.
people have got to be realistic, you play football you will concede goals, the art is putting more in their net than they put in yours.

Awesome game.

Credit to Luton for fighting us all the way.

But those two Alonso goals were incredible.
