      It wasn’t their full team. Alonso has played about 5 games all season, Gilmore played, Giroud and Barkley players who both rarely play.

      They weren’t at full strength but they were no weaker or stronger than us on the whole. Both teams made a few changes but both teams had plenty of “seasoned pros”.

      Recently Alonso and Giroud have been starting and that youngster was very good, it was more or less full strength from Chelsea, certainly compared to us.

      The only really dissapointing players for us were Origi and Lallana, very positive from Neco, Curtis and Minamino. Mane was still a bit crap as well.

      I’d be surprised if having Hendo back is gonna fix this. We can’t break through a packed defence, that isn’t a Hendo trait either 🤷🏼‍♂️

      We getting caught out on the counter with pace and numbers. Countering that isn’t a Hendo trait either 🤷‍♂️

      Get Hendo back in where Fab is, we were solid with him in there. Seem to be getting pulled apart all over the place with Fab back in that role. Which, as it goes was happening early season with a severe lack of clean sheets, only we were scoring more goals then.

      Have to laugh at all this pish about FA cup not worth bothering about it try telling that to the FANS that travelled tonight and sang their hearts out,and will get home at stupid o,clock,or Bill Shankly proudly leading out his team at Wembley to lift it 90 minutes later,we go out to win Every game we are LIVERPOOL if your first your first if your second your nothing YNWA

      Oh come on, Klopp clearly doesn't value it, hence playing youngsters against Shrewsbury and Everton. I'm OK with it, but it is the truth.

      JĂźrgen can't be honest, remember what happened in the last leg? But his actions speak the truth. You can hate it, but this Cup just doesn't mean anything to him. He's focused to win PL and CL and we don't have the depth of City to fight on all fronts, so we have to concentrate our ressources.

      Old news. We don't have KdB or Messi, once we get such a guy we'll be a decade dominator. Keita could be that man, but he's too often injured. IMO JĂźrgen should go all-out this summer for such a player (if he's available).

      Well that's obviously right. It's not that the cup don't mean anything. Every game we play we are desperate to win cup or no cup. Yes we should pay tribute to the fans who travelled, used to be one myself. But nobody goes into the dock over tonight or Saturday. We lost, we move on to the next challenge...Bournemouth.

      do people realise this ball in the FA Cup isn't the same as in the EPL it moves about a lot more. So the bollox over the invincibles is over and the league and FA Cup double is over so now we can get on with the real job winning the EPL and the CL

      Without overreacting I just hope we hit the ground running against atletico next week, Bournemouth Saturday won’t give much of an indicator to whether we’re back in rhythm or not because they’re awful and we’ll stroll past them, just praying the blip is over and on we go!

      I think we will be fine at Anfield the tempo will be back and the atmosphere will have the desired lift the lads need. They need the Fans to be 100% behind them now we are so close to an incredible season lets give them the final push they need

      I think these lads are showing a bit of battle fatigue 44 games unbeaten in the league lost last years league by a whisker been to two CL finals in just over 12 months and have won two trophies this season already which both gave us more financially than the FA CUP would have. This is where supporters do their work in lifting thelads

      Fatigue is normal they might be paid well but they are humans! As I said I just hope this is the end of it and anfield can spur them past atletico and on until the end of the season

      Agreed Fab has been shocking since he came back from injury. Can't wait for Hendo to get back in so Fab can have a bench stint for a while. Guarnatee you we will stop conceding soft, sh*t house goals!

      biggest worry is we've  started conceding goals, and we barely look like scoring. tonight second half created absolutely nothing. Watford the same. and its going to be exactly the same sort of game against atletico.

      I put 2-0 Chelsea in the Prediction League yesterday so it's not all bad news. (And not unexpected)

      The title is the big one ultimately. How many FA Cup and League Cups would we have swapped for it in the past 30 years.

      If it had been at our ground might have been a different story but it wasnt.

      Hope Newcastle win it now!

      Quite clearly Jürgen didn’t take this tournament seriously because he would have bought on Salah straight after we went down2-0.
      League and CL is enough to prioritise.

      I'll take both of them but let's make sure we do get both of them now.

      Only saw the second half because of work commitments but boy it didn’t inspire any Confidence we will score another goal this season.

      Defence seems like the one when Brodge left with Gomez taking up the Lovren role!

      Zero creativity from midfield without the outlets from wide - just too easy to defend against , Kloppo may need something different against the Bus parkers.

      Teams are setting back more and more against us and catching us on the counter. Its been tougher and tougher to break them down the last 3 or 5 games. Without the likes of TAA and Hendo it was nearly impossible today. I hope we can cope with this going forward and show a new wrinkle to over come the way teams will start playing us.

      What they are doing is defending more on the wings and daring us to try and beat them through the middle.

      You couldn't make this up -- if we only win the league (and by a landslide margin at that) the season will be viewed by some as a disappointment....  We have continued to show improvement again this year, and will have achieved our primary goal when we lift the league trophy.  More of the same again next year will do for me 😎

      This is City's cup all day now I think. Pep really is relentless domestically with absolutely no let up no matter what the tournament it would appear.

      Still though like you say it is the league that is the focus and if and when we deal it up this will still go down as an incredible season with the PL title sitting in the middle of the Super Cup and CWC.

      The trophies have started to come back to the club and theres years more challenging for these big honours in us yet.

      Klopp may even want an English domestic cup on his CV before he packs it in.
