That's a reason why I love the FA Cup. 1 game, do or die, roll up your sleeves & fight.
What a great game overall & advert for the FA Cup. We started so brightly & for about the first 40 minutes we played well, should have scored at least 1 more goal ourselves, then Liverpool who had been steadily growing in the game, got a goal back.. then immediately we reverted to form & conceded again a few minutes later. It had another battering written all over it at that point as we looked like we'd folded mentally, half-time probably saved us at that point.
Second half, dreadful from United for about 40 minutes, so passive & easy to play against, Liverpool should have killed the game off & like the first half but with the roles reversed, United grew gradually got a goal against the run of play & had Liverpool on the ropes for the final few minutes, full-time probably saving Liverpool.
Extra-Time was then a lot more evenly matched, very end to end mostly resulting in 3 goals, absolutely fantastic game from both teams. Bit like a boxing match were after a back & forth both of them meet in the middle & stand their ground going blow for blow.
