Re: FA Cup Semi Final Draw
Karl Robinsons tactics are very strange in this game.
How it's not a cricket score already I'll never know.

On the theme on commentators/pundits, is it not past time to put Lawro out to pasture yet?

Almost anyone would have been good enough to beat MK Dons today after one of the most spineless, tactically-stupid displays imaginable.

Arsenal have an excellent draw.
They might just do the treble after all.

Before I saw the draw my only question outside of West Ham was "who are Arsenal home to?" Never fails.

Yes because the barometer for all great players is how they play against one of the worst sides in the second division

He's a strange manager. Held in high regard, but hasn't really got much to justify why

Has Wenger been in charge of every draw so far?

Re: FA Cup Semi Final Draw
Benteke looks like the worst striker we have had in a long time.... Couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat!! Missed 6/7 chances by my count with a few of them being absolute sitters..

Just seen the brief highlights on the BBC website - looks like it was a cracking cup tie. #COYI

Re: FA Cup Semi Final Draw
I just want to close my eyes and wake up and it's April 2014, Liverpool need just a point against Chelsea to put them in the driving seat for the title. Sakho passes the ball to Gerrard and he sprays the ball out to the right. :'(

Re: FA Cup Semi Final Draw
I just keep hearing "It's (insert name of Liverpool player) to Benteke, he's only the keeper to beat....it's gone for another goal kick!"
Thought we played well last night despite the result. Was fearful of Lucas in central defence but thought he was excellent right up until his final act of the game, giving away a cheap freekick leading to the winner. Shame Coutinho and Sturridge weren't on at the same time but so glad they're back. Would like to see a long run of games with Coutinho, Sturridge, Firmino, Lallana and see if they can all gel. Might make our defensive woes seem less depressing.
Would also like to hear Sturridge scotch the rumours that he's unhappy at the club and wants to leave. Sometimes silence is golden but in matters such as this, it's deafening

Re: FA Cup Semi Final Draw
Lucas did really well in central defence and I wouldn't actually mind him starting a league game. Says something when I'd feel more comfortable with a Toure/Lucas partnership than any other right now.
Sturridge did look a class above when he came on, slightly rusty, but even then his dribbling and vision were so obviously better than any others we had on the pitch. Don't expect him to start at the weekend, but for the League Cup final I think he should start and then two or three of Coutinho/Firmino and Lallana behind him.

Benteke also looked much better with Sturridge on the pitch with him.

Re: FA Cup Semi Final Draw
Benteke was short of confidence and it showed, but least he dared to fail. Put himself in and his passing was a mile better than Sturridge, who was terrifying when he dribbled but couldn't pass at all.
With two clear penalties turned down in two games I think with relatively balanced play we deserve it.
Very impressed by Lucas. Obiang and Ogbonna were fantastic for us on a night a lot of players struggled. We're meandering at the moment, badly need Sakho and Lanzini back and seem to be getting a lot of injuries, so this was a nice boost.

Although not worthy of the reaction of some moron who threw a coin at Chris Brunt and hit him 1cm under his eye.
Also, scenes at Millwall look, well, fitting for Millwall

In fairness to West Brom, Reading do have a world class midfield.

If you're going to take a crap penalty, might as well do it when you're 4-1 up

In fairness to City, most of the youngsters played well, it was the likes of Demichelles and Cabellero that let them down.

Numerous teams have put out weaker line ups against lower league opposition, shouldn't make any difference that it was against a Premier League side.

Re: FA Cup Semi Final Draw
Excellent results for the Hammers to beat Blackburn 5 -1 away. Only saw the goals and sendings off. That Payet really is class. Must be one of the signings of the season.
Thought the West Ham sending off was possibly a bit harsh. Not entirely clear what happened - but didn't look like the Blackburn player was in very clear goal scoring position.

There's weaker and there's 5 teenagers with barely a forst team game between them.
Doesn't help the cup.
Another issue is the split in cl games and we can see an example of the effect it has today.
