Relief. Maddison coming on was the key for us. Daley Campbell unspectacular but did his future chances no harm. Perez absolute horseshit. Under not much better although at least he picked up a bit second half.

Yeah over half a season of them
Tommorrow, just before the Barnsley/Chelsea game.
Can't wait.
Well, I can actually. I have to.

Personally I hope Perez and Under don't play.
If Justin misses even 1 game then it's a massive mistake from Rodgers. He shouldn't have even been playing.
Youri who has looked tired for weeks got another 90 minutes for some reason?
I'm pleased to go through but that selection and tactics was a screw up from Rodgers.
Pleased that Vardy and Ndidi got minutes but based on tonight's showing they are not ready for Liverpool.

All in all I'd have to say that in a way the ending was worth waiting for.
That has to be the worst defending in the history of football doesn't it? I mean how exactly can TEN players fail to pick up the ONLY opposition player within 20 yards of the goal? What else was there for them to do?
Other than that though the highlight for me was reading the link about the 1979 Arsenal/ Sheff Wed replays posted in the pre match thread. Brought back a few wistful memories.

Seriously, I can't stop looking at it.
I might have to research getting it blown up to poster size & framed.

The sneaky amazing part is that we have one player in the box in the last minute for a corner to win a cup tie.
A genuine farce of a goal.

"restaurant" time? Is that some kind of weird auto-subtitling??
Nacho's goal owed more to their switching off, as that pic illustrates so well. Mr Hatcher finished well, and was well found by Youri's lovely dinked cross, but he had acres of time and space. It was a number 9 being where a number 9 should be at finishing as they ought (at any level) Not taking anything away, it was a bread-and-butter goal, but tbh I have so say I was mainly pleased that someone, anyone found the net (legitimately) I'd obviously prefered it to be be us but I can't say the thought of "restaurant" time filled me with glee
I said before the match, and again during, that I couldn't work out the tactics. Someone mentioned Rodgers was just giving people games, and it looked like that to me. It seemed to me that wing backs AND wingers, wasn't working - on either side. Perez and Under looked useless, couldn't get into the game, and I don't think this is entirely their fault - their space was being compressed. This has happened to Barns before now, when Chilwell was behind him. Further, maybe having Justin at left CB (when he shouldn't have even been on the pitch imho) exasperated, as his desire/recent history is to push forward too. I don't know if that's a shape problem or how we use it - that is, a tactical one. It's overloading our own space out wide yet leaving the central no 10 position wasteland (Youri being expected to fulfill 2 roles) Maybe Rodgers wanted Perez and Under to take it up as and when? 2nd half, I saw too many desperate hoof balls towards Vardy....
... oh well, we're through. That's all that matters in the context of this competition, where you pick a team for the day. And Daly-Campbell looked solid, did enough to be remembered.
Something that really struck me, and I have to remark on, was what a classy player Soyuncu is. Seriously, that guy looked so calm and reassured (for the most part, I remember a fly-hacked semi-clearance) - a seasoned pro, such a mature performance, years ahead of his time. As I watched I thought we're going to need some resolve, not to mention his desire, to hang on to him this summer - or an absolute shit-load of cash in return. Enjoy him while you can, because sadly I reckon there's a high chance that we'll lose him.

93 minutes and 40 seconds of zero quality dross followed by a quick corner from Under, perfect chip from Tielemans and nodded home by Nacho....while Brighton's 10 men stand in the box and wait expectantly for Maddison to come up and take/stuff up the corner.
Other than that- really hope Justin recovers quickly.

My best mate ( Arsenal fan ) went to all three games, he reckoned he knew Leicester better than me afterwards, after the second game he didn't bother coming back to Harlow, he stayed in a B & B..
