Bench to try and seal it, been dissappointment from the young lads no getting away from it. If they are to be expected to be used in the first 20 players then its poor really, need proper cover.

Not seen anything to show why any of them should be in the first 11. And that goes for Moreno and Can too.

A replay against these is the last thing we need. Come on lads, we need just one goal against a fckin league 2 side!

Poor performance this as if they thought they would brush these over like a training session. Reality check most youngsters haven't even broken sweat

Well that was embarrassing. Think Klopp is going to have to accept that our second 11 isn't anywhere near the required standard.

I've no idea why Lucas and Moreno are still here. Both are - to be blunt - sh!te.

I'd play the kids again in the replay. Make it clear that they're playing for their LFC futures. None of them looked bothered today.

Not sure why JK always seems to wait a little too long to make subs...At the hour mark it was clear he needed to bring in the full cavalry...better 30mins than a full replay.

Absolutely dreadful, pity full effort from whats expected be our next generation of footballers.

You can talk about possession stats but Plymouth where never in any danger, comfortable holding job for them and they deserve a second shot and pay day which at their level is absolutely massive, a fact lost on McManaman who grumbled all afternoon that they shut up shop, embarrassing afternoon for him too.

Washing the grill pan on a Sunday afternoon better than that dross.

I think a bit of perspective is needed here, that side today was the youngest we've ever fielded in our 125 year history, practically half the team were teenagers and the average age was a shade over 21 (that was with Lucas in the line up as well!)
Over the years I've seen plenty of LFC first XI's go crashing out of cups to lower league opposition so the lads did okay.

Most frustrating thing for me is we played the game at a training games pace.  In these kind of games, you are looking for someone to look to take the chance they have been given but they just appeared to go through the motions for me.

I could kind of understand if Plymouth really dug in and and played a once in a lifetime performance against us and having to deal with a lot of pressure from us but that was nowhere near the case.

I'd send that same team out in the replay and tell them to go out and give it a real go.

More dissapointed at the likea of Origi,  Moreno and Stewart. Can't really have too much of a pop at the  likes of Woodburn, Alexander-Arnold, Ejaria etc as they are so young and need to be realistic

Would have been better had we avoided a reply. Well i guess same team will get another shot.
We really should have beaten these lot.

Spot on doeboy was my exact thoughts but it will be a stern test with all their fans behind them on their own patch. I'm not that bothered really it's a chance for them to shine the young uns but Woodburn he's gona be special he's ready now to play in 1st team. League and league cup is our priority at min

I'm not sure what you were expecting out of them Mikz, a lot of them had only made 3 or 4 appearances in the first team prior to today. The lads did alright, we are still in the hat for the next round.

Eh, this was Plymouth Bleedin' Argyle, lads. If so called squad players - don't care how many first team game they have or have not got under their belts - can't find a way through, then it's a pi$$ poor day at the office.
