We won 5-1 though, you can crack a smile like. First LFC goals for Shelvey & Downing, a cracker of a goal from Andy - that should do his confidence a world of good, a scored penalty - and from Stevie too, another super performance from Bellamy, and we've finally thumped someone!

been waiting for a 5 goal match

Cheer up pal, if that doesn't please you then nothing will wink

He really lost the plot though, went mad. Half the players on the pitch were trying to calm him down. He lifted Flanagan out of it then a few minutes later with a dirty tackle and got booked for it. He almost looked like he was crying.

We only really played well after 3-1. Then they had to come at us, and there was a lot of space for us. Even then it took until Carroll and Downing came on for us add to the goals. With Kuyt up front we were still creating very little.


I WAS very pleased with Carroll's goal and Shelvey and Downing's who I've been a big supporter of. Made up for them.

But I think that overall, you'd have to admit that with the players available, at home against a team 2 divisions below, the first half performance was an embarrassment to say the least, and the second half was better but not tons better.


How do you justify playing so poorly. You can argue about us lacking player quality when we perform badly in the premiership. But it's not the player quality against Oldham, when we're at home. How can we justify playing so poorly in the first half? What do you put it down to? I can only come to the answer that it's the manager and his tactics. Which is vry worrying.



F*cksake man, we've been playing well all season and not scoring the goals. We play below par in a game and smash in 5! What does it take to make you happy?? Enjoy the win ffs.

No Suarez, we look ordinary without him these days.

It was a cup tie! Hardly the most shocking thing to ever happen in a cup tie. The FA Cup is known for it's upsets. Oldham came out and most of them players were playing the biggest game of their careers - and playing it well.

Some of our players were below par, i'm not saying they weren't. Coates was shocking. Carra looked dodgy. Aurelio looked rusty - I think you should cut him some f*cking slack too, he's been out injured forever! Kuyt has been pretty poor for a while now, I think it may have come time to move him on. The rest played pretty well, particularly Stevie and Bellamy.

This just proves my point that there is just no pleasing some people. Some people just thrive on misery and pessimism.

in what way though Wakka. You mean our players are less talented than Oldham's?


No,but some players look like they are in a comfort zone.

It's happened in the league too, against much weaker sides than us. Not just a cup thing.

Aurelio has had all the slack from me I'm willing to ever give. The man is constantly injured and not that great when he isn't injured, and will never form a major part of a successful Liverpool first team. He's just taking opportunities that someone like Robinson could have, and improve from.

I don't thrive on misery, I just thought we were pretty poor until 3-1, and then still not that great until the end. You have to realise that lower level sides are unlikely to be as fit as a premiership side. So no surprise 2 of our goals came in the 89th minute and the 95th minute. I don't understand how anyone could watch that first half and come away happy with it.


I never said I was happy with the first half. Although to play well and still go in ahead after coming from behind certainly isn't the worst thing in the world - and not the worst of habits to be getting into.

I just think it's rich - but hardly surprising - that there's unhappiness being expressed at us playing below our usual standards but yet winning 5-1.

When people such as myself and others have said over the last while "we're playing great stuff, just not producing the finishing" there are others giving out that playing well isn't going to cut it, because we need results.

Then that happens and there are contrary complaints. I mean, make up your mind. Also, Oldham played really well in the first half, let's not take that away from them. Players playing the biggest game of their life. The 2 goals we got before half time then knocked the stuffing out of them and the 3rd was the killer blow to them. They looked tired and spent from their first half exploits, and we took advantage of this by adding a couple more goals.

How are these negative points? Aside from that question, another is, how are these negative points overruling the positive points from the game in anybody's head?! I just can't relate to that. In addition, we had more or less our 2nd team out apart from probably 3 players.

Just seen the result it does not matter its all going mad just as we thought it would. I am just about to tweet Diane Abbot for advice. She is impartial as we know.
