What a great opportunity to get to the semi finals. Tricky tie but definitely more winnable that City away! This cup run could brighten up our otherwise damp season - hopefully not at the cost of PL football.

The ref.

QF's! A crap performance but would rather look **** and win than look good and lose

Was 5 mins last time, same sort of officiating as this game.

Scary how bad we are against a team who have won once in over 20 league games i think :/

Not good, Brunt can whip in good crosses.

FFS. Can't even relax. Now the game swings back in their favour..

hahaha GET IN TADSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Sparked!

Another limp 2nd half by the looks of it, someone needs to give us a spark.

0-1 at half time, expecting at least 2-1 at full time. Mr Motivator at half time. Clean sheet would be welcome Saints!

Hearts fans loved him probably as much as us. Was a great keeper for them too.

Was a bit meh in the end...

What was he planning doing with the other £4.8m?

Already written off. Tough crowd.

****ing frustrating, with our players should be top 8. **** leadership, **** 2nd halves the majority of the time and **** tactics. **** off MP.

5 posts on a RIP thread and it starts. Well done Saintsweb. RIP Miller..way to young and goes to show make the most of your time in life - as you never know whats round the corner.

Not really directly Saints related, but a good article to read on the state of football for the more traditional bigger clubs like Marseille, Leeds etc. https://www.ft.com/content/19455408-0b96-11e8-839d-41ca06376bf2

I hear you're a racist now JRod..(Father Ted style).

With a squad of 25 and a whole youth system to call upon why the break. Try rotating players every now and again. Don't see Championship clubs whining about games and they play 46 league games before any cup/playoff games.

Seems pretty harsh rule for the defenders as in a split second you see a striker making a run behind you there is no way really to know for sure if they are off. When was this rule brought in? Keepers can still pick up back passes also?

So by going with that, if a ball is played over the top and a defender and striker are running onto it..lets say the strikers offside when it starts and the defender stretches and touches it trying to cut out the ball, resulting in the ball falling nicely for the striker he wouldn't be offside? Ok. Rules have changed since I played so apologise for not knowing.

Yep - will be a soft pen against us at some point. Won't be a low scoring game this, we can't sit back and let them get their tails up. Liverpool like to pressure the back line so we can't play out nicely from the back as much this game. Carrillo will have to earn his money as the target man if he starts as we will need to go a bit longer than usual. Centre midfield they are quite slow and can be got at.

Looks a cushy little job he had, they advertising for it yet?

People forget the great players we have had from them in past including Grobbelaar and Mark Walters. Just seen Grobbelaar is 60 years old :/

Depends. Could be second XI v second XI.
