2nd in the prem, semi final next week and a team of youngsters that would walk into most L2, L1 or championship sides. Took a gamble and it didn't work out - but it could help us!
Complete lack of respect by Liverpool for the fa cup and Plymouth. I hope they get beat even though my accy would be down1-6 at the bookies to win. I suspect if they would have declared the kids team they fielded it would have been much fairer odds too.
Because the rules of the competitions are different, presumably...

I don't think it was really hard to work out that Liverpool would change nearly the whole team for the game. Every club does it, even those outside the Premier League. I wouldnt do an accumalator in the League or FA Cup for that very reason.
Plymouth have had a lot of praise but I'm one of the few who was really disappointed in both them and Liverpool...I thought it showed massive disrespect from Liverpool to make that many changes and devalued the game and the competition..And for Plymouth to set up and play like they did against a team of kids some of whom had never played in a game like that in there lives showed once again that its no longer about the romance of the cup but cold hard cash...They will most likely never get the chance to go away to a team like that and actually have a chance but to set up and play in the style like they did they were never going to create a chance never mind score..If that was Rovers at Anfield I would hope that while you cant set up to go toe to toe with them..We would at least take some risk in trying to score a goal....
