Liverpool were held to a frustrating goalless draw in the FA Cup quarter-final against Blackburn on Sunday. We round-up the best reaction on social media during and after the game.
After such a superb run of results and performances, this forgettable 90 minutes was an absolute damp squib from start to finish.
Martin Skrtel‘s early injury seemed to ruin the Reds’ momentum a little, and Gary Bowyer’s Blackburn side were more than deserving of a draw. They defending doggedly throughout, and had some good chances to win the game.
Too many Liverpool players were below-par on the day, whether it be Philippe Coutinho, Emre Can, Adam Lallana or Daniel Sturridge, and they will now need a replay to overcome Rovers and reach the semi-finals.
That’s far from ideal, given the fact that that game will likely be a few days before Brendan Rodgers‘ side host Manchester United in the Premier League. Being ultra-positive though, at least they are still in the competition.
Here is how social media reacted to the drab 0-0 draw, with fans, journalists and ex-players voicing their opinions.
‘Hope in your heart’ on the forums:
Poor game. That’s a replay in ten days at Blackburn. That will be another tough fight, which we could have done without, but that’s the FA Cup for you: no easy games.
‘abcd’ on the forums:
Frustrating. Important save from Mignolet just after the break or it could have been worse. Toure definitely should have had a pen in 2nd half with the chance he missed. Overall though you just couldn’t see the goal coming. It was Bolton all over again.
‘ptt’ on the forum:
We’re still in the FA cup. It’s all a matter of perspective.
