Quality goal.

Great goal that, 2-0

2-0

Brilliant goal by McCormack though.

Tbh think Henderson would be a better captain than Suarez, not that it matters for one game

That defence

Suarez as captain. I would have thought that Jones or Skrtel would have been given it.

this is like me on FIFA, i literally just played spurs (I'm leeds) And beat them 2-0

Nothing is wrong with that defense.. good to see Coates and Robinson getting a game, Wisdom is competent, and I'm sure Skrtel is good enough for Oldham ffs

Edit: Suarez was Ajax captain, nothing wrong with him as captain

robinson is wrong with that defense.

Ohshit Obika's coming on.

Thank God, Dempsey. Wonder if he'll still be taken off, assuming it was going to be him.

2-1

EDIT: Guess not.

Dueeeeeeeeeccccce.

It may seem that way but I think you cannot be completely sure what will happen and the difference in stadium size likely was the real issue. Griffin Park has a capacity of a little over 12,000 whereas Stamford Bridge seats 41,837. I cannot see any issues occuring at the replay.

EDIT: Thinking about things again this kickoff time was likely done for television purposes since none of today's games overlap.

I'm failing to see the link between them having a small ground and it being a 12:00 KO.

There's 3 televised games today (12, 2 and 4). One of them had to KO so early so people have the option to watch all of them.

well west brom vs Aston Villa was scheduled for a 5:15pm kick off time the other week. This was awful for the police but sky sports can dictate these things

It was on SPN the West Brom v Villa game

Fucking hell. What a poor performance.

Same point applies though.

1-0 Oldham

Bloody hell Coates.

this years FA cup has been brilliant so far!

Sterling gets a booking, yet there was nothing for the stamp on Joseph Allen?

Really? That was woeful defending.

why did skrtel go with his head to clear that? both CBs were calamitous

Liverpool

i'm sure oldham used to have a white home kit. Have they changed colour scheme?

I bet you were hoping they would score so you would have an excuse to complain

Stamp on Jones's head now, only a yellow card? The team should step off the pitch and refuse to play, I can see a few lives being ended here.

this defending from liverpool

What a strong squad we have.

They usually wear blue and white home kits but this season they've gone fully blue.
