Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[Del-boy]

Shrewsbury hold the "World Champions" (well the BBC has insisted on calling them that all afternoon) to a 2-2 draw, and came close to beating them.

It was the kids when we played them but World Champions this afternoon..

It’s a sad sad existence being a toffee.

Yet their kids can beat our first team.

And they did win the World club champions trophy so they are.

Wow we must be absolutely terrible lol

Really does bring home how bad that defeat was for us. Shrewsbury of League 1 pushing them further than our first team could.

I only watched the last ten minutes. I wasn't surprised at the result though.

The RS would've been beaten by most sides in the previous round. They received undeserved plaudits because of the timid, cowardly display by us made them appear good.

Shrewsbury will be taking pics tapping the This is Anfield sign.. taking selfies and swapping shirts in the replay.

Should have done it tonight.

Yes the underdogs seldom win the replays that was thier chance one would think.....
Made our humiliation at Anfield look worse now and who needed reminded about that....

Name me 10 players who have come through their academy in the last 5 years

The fact theyve produced even a single top drawer player in Arnold is already an improvement on us. The kid Jones looks naturally able to play at top flight level. Gomez was brought in but they developed him.

Could we ever dream of playing a team of youngsters and beat a top flight first team? Not in a million years. Its mentality as much as ability.

Our first team would have struggled massively against Shrewsbury today. A second XI like Liverpool had playing would've seen us dumped out of the cup emphatically.

The kids lost 5 to relegation fodder Villa

drew 2-2 shrewbury

Nullify and dominate us a comfortable 2-0 win and went easy on us in the end.


100% mentality. They are beaten before kickoff. We are so weak it’s scary. I’m more annoyed as when we got beaten right now.

Don't forget they beat us as Rooney was making his name.

Don't forget they beat us as Rooney was making his name.

How could I? When they were down in League 2 as well.

The question was posted why our 23s are not as good as the red lot - I seen Josh Bowler last season loos a good prospect - we did give hinm a contract....so I have watched him last season....

Bowler not getting any game time at all. Hull manager doesn't rate him.
