RE: Liverpool FC
Well that was just painful to watch. Liverpool looked abject in the first half and left it far too late in the second. I knew we weren't going through when you change your formation like that. Once Firmino and Salah came on it got better and a great goal from Divork Origi but Nunes was far superior with a shot many goalkeepers wouldn't have been able to reach. Shaqiri so unlucky I didn't think Ruddy was anywhere near that ball but that could have changed everything. It now means that we've been dumped out of the FA Cup by Wolves 3 times I think it is, and Klopp needs a trophy to justify him being there-maybe the Champions League or the Title but again the FA Cup eludes us. As Alan Hansen once said "SHOCKING!"

RE: Liverpool FC
As I have said in the past Liverpool is a club very close to my heart for personal and sentimental reasons.
I have always regarded any game against Liverpool as very special win, lose or draw.
But obviously as a Wolves fan obviously it is nice to finally win a home tie after goodness knows how many attempts.
Liverpool rotated perhaps more so than even I was expecting but Wolves still had to guts it out and managed it.
John produced a 'Ruddy' good save.
Sorry I'll get my coat .
I think the title race will go down to the wire. City and Liverpool are two exceptional teams at full strength.
May the best team win the league .

RE: Liverpool FC
When the tie was drawn a few months ago I did say to friends & family (who are Liverpool fans as well) that like last season's FA Cup debacle Liverpool will again field a weakened team & more than likely lose against a full strength Wolves team & unfortunately I hate being proved right.Whether Klopp just doesn't feel the FA Cup is worth playing for or whether he is hoping the 2nd string players step-up to plate but they failed miserably.Moreno,Keita,Sturridge,Shaqiri (apart from his 2nd half free-kick that hit the post) to name just a few from the majority of the team just didn't seem to play like they were fighting for a 1st team opportunity.You could possibly take the opportunity by fielding a weakened team against a mid-table Championship side or lower down the leagues & expect progress but not against a high-flying Premier team like Wolves.Fabinho showed his positional adaptability with some nice touches,Origi showed he can play with both feet before hitting a great strike & young 16 year old centre-back Jan Hoever although was at times physically easy to get knocked off the ball (he's still a growing lad) but he showed some great touches & some neat passing.But as for the rest they just didn't step up to the plate.
What the game did illustrate is that Liverpool still have a relatively thin squad & injuries to certain players (Salah,Firminho,Van Dijk) could be a major influences on the title-run.As for Wolves for me they have been my Premier team of the season who have proved they are capable of beating the Premier big-guns either home or away like Liverpool or Spurs.Reuben Neves looked a class-act & will probably have the top teams like Arsenal,Chelsea,Liverpool (hopefully) sniffing around him in the transfer window.
Probably just tittle-tattle & media having nothing else to write & causing mischief but I did see online that Man Utd have been sniffing around Coutinho who is struggling for game time at Barcelona,surely not.

RE: Liverpool FC
Another seven goal thriller with ten men(Milner got himself two yellow cards and a sending off) 4-3 to a bogey team of the past, Crystal Palace, and the dream continues. Unbeaten in 23 games and 60 points but more importantly back to 7 pts lead over Man City-over to them tomorrow(but let's face it can you really see Huddersfield Town beating them?)
