5string

Lallana is looking good for Liverpool. Dammit

... who lets it slip catastrophically through his bent arm, over the line and into the goal...

Cedric! Blooming flip, nearly let them in after Sturridge gave him the ball.

Happy birthday, mate. Hope it improves! Corner Saints... ...nope.

Agreed.

Half time 0-0. We should be 3-0 up on aggregate. Liverpool restricted to just a couple of long shots (and some slightly scrappy defending from us). My choice of 2nd half subs: Long for JRod (who looks less than his best, though some good touches) Err, that'll do for now. Save the rest for later.

Ooh JWP close. 1 min extra (I can't type I'm so jittery)

Sturridge is trying to be 'Mr Tricky', and you just know he's going to get lucky at some point. Ooh, replay of Tadic's shot - nearly squeezed under the 'keeper. 43:00 No goals

Davis!! NOOOOO, row Z. Still going up, I think - yep there it goes, just looked out the window and it's passed me...

Martin Atkinson on the whistle. And the tackle, it seems. Argh! How did we miss that?!!!!!

Ok, the ref has read the script: push on Davis - no foul. JRod pushes a Liverpool player - free kick. Comes to nothing, but...

Soaking up too much pressure. Liverpool getting closer. Got to keep them further away and get a breakaway.

Corner Saints. Stephens up. Rubbish!

Not one mention on text commentary of any of our attacks!! Maybe this free kick will give them something to talk about... Nope!

I've got that one, too. Works well.

I fear that Liverpool will get away with a lot of 'physical challenges' (ie. fouls).

So, basically, actually, in fact, what you mean is, for this single match, to all intents & purposes...: - If we draw or win after 90 minutes, we go through to the final? (here's hoping...) - If both teams score and we lose by just one goal after 90 minutes, it goes to extra time? - Following a one-goal defeat after 90 minutes (see point above), if the score difference remains the same after extra time (even if it's 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, etc), we go through? - If Liverpool win 1-0 after 90 minutes, it goes to extra time, then penalties, if it remains thus at the end of extra time? (This one actually makes sense) - If Liverpool win by 2 clear goals or more, they go through? Sorry for sounding Australian with all those question marks. Just trying to clarify the fog of qualifying.

Great win today. Took [some of] our chances, also had the luck/breaks needed to get goals - which we haven't had much of recently. Leicester were poor, but we were pretty good, playing much like we have been lately, even in defeats. We just did it for longer periods in the game today. From my armchair, watching a dodgy stream: Forster was pretty solid, had a few long distance shots to deal with, but deal with them he did. Back 4/5 very good. Hope VvD's injury isn't too bad. Stephens did ok when he came on, except for a dodgy giveaway pass. Yoshi really good - he's stepping up massively at the moment, isn't he? Bertrand & Cedric were great today, especially Ced (though he can't shoot either, it appears!) JWP - my MoM. Had one of his best games, good goal, good passing. Hoj provided drive, but my goodness he has to practise shooting! Romeu - usual solid self, didn't stand out as much as recently, mainly cos others were playing better. Tadic - best game for a while. Had [was given?] space, used it well. Well-struck penalty, huh?! Redmond tried to jump on the scoring bandwagon, unlucky not to succeed. JRod, Long both played their 'natural' game, poaching, passing, running. Long did well to earn the penalty, getting on the wrong side of Morgan. Someone said we needed to get our mojo back. We got some of it today - gonna take a little longer to get the whole thing.

3-0 That'll do nicely

Has JWP found his 'signature' ball in for a cross or shot?

Haha, yeah probably. I'll just blame the dodgy (and slow) stream. Penalty! 3-0 Tadic! Yaaassss!

Still need that 3rd, really. And looks like I was wrong - disallowed goal came off defender. Blithering idiot linesman!

Looks like his chest was off, he 'scored' with his chest. Didn't he? Linesman must have the best eyesight in the world!

Didn't notice: Hoj off, Clasie on. Slightly more defensive, then. Oh, then we score! Hahaha!! 3-0..., oh wait, no goal, offside. Really? Hmm, close, but probably was off.

Yeah, good call. Maybe more skill than Telfer?
