That's the angriest I've been with a Liverpool performance for quite some time. Maybe it is just me but there was a degree of arrogance and complacency that set in during that second half I really don't like.

Firstly - yesterday proved how naive a lot of Thursday's team selection and / or substitutions were. We've spent the last few months entrusting a lot of the young lads and then we go super strong in a game we had effectively already won. I get some needed minutes but when you look at how leggy some got yesterday you just can't understand it.

As for yesterday we started poorly and could have been a few down, somehow we take a barely deserved lead into the break. Great stuff, we may have got away with one here.

Second half though was just ridiculous. United were so passive that there seemed a wave of arrogance and complacency that it didn't really matter if we misplaced this pass or screwed up that attack, because we've already got the lead and they can't do anything to us and we will get another chance in a minute anyway. Next to no intensity. If Liverpool showed 20% of the intensity they showed in that second half against City then United were there to have their tummy tickled in that second half. They could have destroyed them.

Then it was just really poor game management. Particularly for the last goal which was bordering on criminal naivety.

Klopp hasn't done himself any favours afterwards with that rather petulant interview with the Scandinavian reporter either.

Hopefully it's a lesson they can learn for the rest of the season.

For a neutral that was a great game, a proper old fashioned Cup tie - gutted we lost, especially given we had so many chances

See a few posts about taking Salah off - in fairness, apart from his goal, he was poor. Nunez looked dead on his feet at times and our finishing was way off, and we had lots of chances

Hopefully they are all back fit and firing for our next game.

Very frustrating watching that today. Complacent start, extremely wasteful middle and extremely tired ending.

Was surprised to see Bradley not start. I really don't rate Joe Gomez at RB - prefer to see him at LB, even over Robbo. Otherwise the lineup was strong.

Was also surprised by the tactics. We seemed to be happy to play them man for man across the big pitch which doesn't suit Endo and Mac Allister. Felt like the Emirates league game again. Huge gaps when the ball was turned over.

Subbing off Salah and Szobo wasn't ideal but they are only just back from injury so can understand if it was medically necessary. Gakpo really struggled to get into the game and also took away some of Darwin's constant threat against the United CBs.

That 5 on 2 counterattack with Gakpo was soooooo frustrating!

Big shout out to Quansah who was brilliant all game.

The main thing is that this competition wasn't the priority. I hope we learn from it as we're back there again in three weeks time for a much more important game.

Could have and should have finished them off. After playing Thursday I just think the players didn't have the 120 minutes in the legs.

You take what you can in football. Never nice to go out of a cup, especially to United but let's see if the slightly lighter schedule will help us. You never quite know.

whao. how did we lose that game?
was in complete control in the 2nd half until last 10 mins
again, was in control in extra time, then we concede 2 v poor goals when we were in possession

guess, our unlucky voodoo of not having won an fa cup at OT for over a century continues

while we had good chances, we actually also let them had plenty of good chances and could have lost in regulation time with their final chance.

Awful performance which got exactly qhat it deserved. You cannot give the ball away like that constantly. Squandered chance after chance. That 5 on 2 should have resulted in a goal at 2-1 up.

Got exactly what we deserved, nothing . A truly awful display. I would love Coventry to win it now. However you may as well just give the cup to Man City . They will batter whonever they get in the semi finals and final. Ridiculous display from Liverpool.

I was just informed that we haven won an FA CUP match at OT for 100 years!

Let's hope we put that right today!

So here's my question regarding Doku's karate chop.

Looking at the replay, the ref was standing behind Doku, so he didn't see the karate kid style attempt to kick Macca's head off ( yes a bit dramatic but you get my point)

So my question is why didn't VAR send the ref to the monitor to review it from a different angle? Or is that not part of VARs allowable calls?
