IN a VERY NSFW post match show, a broken Neil Atkinson was joined by Ben Johnson and Craig Hannan as Liverpool suffered defeat in the FA Cup thanks to an Angelo Ogbonna winner in the last minute of Extra Time.
It hurts. Perhaps far more than it should.
In a free clip from the show, Neil, Ben and Craig chat briefly about a few unexpected positive performances and the difference the mere presence of Daniel Sturridge has on this Liverpool side.

Spot on about the ‘foul’. That fucker Valencia was diving all over the shop all game, probably why East doesn’t give him the (legitimate) Ilori pen. But it then begs the question why he’s so soft giving that pathetic free kick at the end. And big Ben’s finishing – very poor, granted – but at least the lad never hid.
Am proud as punch of our lads tonight.
We’re going to be alright.
Thanks for that lads, summarizes just how I felt. Let us hope the scenario where Jurgen decides to continue with these lads and cans all the near do wells. It may not happen but I will certainly follow all these lads futures with interest. Ilori at times (ok one or two) reminded me of a young Hansen, he was almost lethargic but right where he should have been, and considering how his career has gone so far that takes confidence. I can’t wait to see Firmino, Coutinho, Sturridge and Origi in the line up for future games. The likes of Lallana and Milner will benefit I am sure, and let’s hope we see more of the youngsters who played tonight, if only to give them more oppurtunities to impress us as much as they did tonight. Another season of ups and downs but confident Klopp will see us through.
I really would take this opportunity to give these lads a chance in the first team for premier league games. Let’s take this season to find out who could have a career with us and who isn’t going to
In prem games a good mix of youth and experience should be what we do now
Europa league go strong but have that mix too
People like Brad smith should even be 1st choice over Albert anyway
Yeah it scares me now that as we have no cup left to play in, we have seen the last of these ‘kids’. I hope Jurgen spends these last 13 league games showing them off still, nothing to lose considering the ‘senior’ team could just as likely go out and screw it each week.
Great show as usual and I’m listening while working on my PC in Baku.
Stayed up until 2am to see the game and am cream crackered and although the result was crap in the end the performance from the young lads was simply fantastic and there are so many positives to take from this.
Smith, Texiria, Stewart, Ilori,all fabulous
kloppo there’s nothing to lose with 13 games to go…please, please play this team against Villa and see what they can do.
Pan the first team ‘nonces’….Lallana, Milner, Can, Henderson etc and play these lads.
Lucas was fantastic as centre half…keep him there and build the back four around him.
Benteke and Origi were poor, Benteke purely for his finishing or lack of it and Origi was just crap.
Sturridge made a difference when he came on but then he always does, until injured that is.
Roll on summer!!!!
Hope the 3 of yous went on the beers after even if we were beat! burst out laughing at craig telling neil that they would have to go out after, you could tell he was serious lol good to hear a northern irish accent too. as for ben Johnson has me laughing with everything he says!!! keep em comin lids
