    In fairness, this wasn't exactly a weak Liverpool team. Some real quality in this squad, many internationals, a superb centre half, a champions League final goalscorer....some of the best young talent around.

    Adrian, N Williams, R Williams, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Grujic, Jones, Elliott, Shaqiri, Minamino, Origi.

    Subs: Fabinho, Keita, Jota.

    Lincoln are a fairly decent side but if we have any ambitions for promotion we should be looking for a close match really. When we got promoted from league 2 before we adjusted immediately to life in league one. I don’t think there is much difference in quality and maybe less so now with the salary cap. The difference might show I the top 4 Or so teams but even then.
    We should be having a real go tonight. Some talk on here like it’s Brazil 1970 we are playing

    I don't mean he will be sacked but it's a dream tie with Liverpool but will no fans.

    The money and the interest will be still massive. Pressure in terms of generating money.

    Give your head a shake if you don't think so.

    I think McCall has to be here for at least a couple of years. Not just because we need some continue, but given that we clearly have no ambition to take the club forward, having someone who 'gets' the club, is a capable coach and is likely very good with our younger players, we'd be daft to make a change in the near to medium future.

    I wish our official twitter page wouldn't dress it up like we are even in this game. Embarrassing.

    No pace no attacking threat

    Cannot play guthrie and donaldson together one or the other or neither.

    Squad is weak every time changes are made its obvious

    I think the funds would only get you to Skegness I'm afraid.

    I think Appleton is a good manager and knows how to assemble a squad who can play good football. He did a great job down at Oxford although far from successful at Blackpool amidst all their troubles!

    Think he realised he had struggled a bit as a manager so went and worked at Leicester and then West Brom I think as first team coach. Clearly took some ideas on board and is doing quite well again now

    Yep but don't worry, the club have funds to spend on the squad according to Rupps mate, @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler.

    Making the keeper captain is a bad bad decision.

    A chance to play Liverpool and this is what we produce? Abysmal.

    See what excuses we have after the game today.

    Twice we've had shots from 6 yards out. Ballooned it over the bar twice.
