cheers for posting that,ya sometimes forget the humor and fun of our support compared to  the gloom of the internets.

Not sure why people rate can at 6 taught he very poor last nite

So ya watching the Milner peno in a bar,do you whip out ya phone and film the telly or film the lads filming the telly!!!

Key points from a great win, for me, were: -

VVD - I felt MUCH more confident about our defence just seeing him on the pitch.  He looks a colossus, is great in the air, composed, confident and good on the ball.  A threat at set pieces and that goal puts him in mersey folklore.  A certainty for captain next season, if not later this season.

Robertson - MOTM and continues to impress.  Our no. 1 left back for certain and a permanent fixture alongside VVD in defence.

Holgate incident - I was waiting to see if it would be a red or yellow card; how the f### was that NO card??!!!!  That was the epitome of dangerous play.  Firmino could have incurred any number of injuries!

The pen was not a pen for me, but was more of a pen than the Everton one in the league, so that, along with a late winner from the "over-priced" VVD was the perfect way to ram it up that lot and wipe the sneer off Allardyce's fat face.  Especially him saying it wasn't a pen.  Though he showed some rare class by not commenting on the Holgate/Firmino incident.

The BBC coverage - I tend not to get involved in all the conspiracy against LFC theories, but the BBC coverage was a disgrace.  The Holgate incident was more about "Firmino MUST have said something" as far as Shearer was concerned.  Plus his view of the 2 penalties in the 2 matches were chalk and f###ing cheese, the tosser!

That means a team that supposedly can't win ugly, has won 3 tricky matches 2-1 on the trot, whilst continuing the rotation policy and we are undefeated since Oct 22nd.  The acid test next Sunday though against City; I think we'll be the first to beat them in the league. 2-1.

I guess we needed 2 to win again. At this rate, it's just a matter of time before we're told that we can't keep doing it, and they're probably right, but I notice they're not saying so about City atm.

The penalty was a penalty all day long, and anyone who argues otherwise doesn't know the rules of the sport. Even if the pushing was minimal, the shirt pull is an automatic foul and a clearcut penalty. Although I didn't see what the offence was until we saw the replay, so fair play to the ref. If we had VAR, as we should have, then the original decision would have stood, and there would have been no arguments over it.

It looked like another replay until they broke the first rule of defending corners. Put man on posts. In fairness lots of sides don't do it, and lots of them then find the ball in the back of their net as a result. With the post completely unguarded, all VVD had to do was win the header to nod it in. Unbelievable that such a simple aspect of the game is neglected to the extent that it is. Every week it happens, from the game down the local park to the very highest levels of the sport.

So we won against them at home in the cup for the first time. Now onto West Brom, and another score to settle.
