That’s all from me. Thanks for reading, and for your emails. Cheers, and congrats again to Plymouth! The FA Cup is alive and well!
Forget all that Liverpool stuff, the attention should be firmly on Plymouth for a steely, well-deserved win over the Premier League leaders. The Championship’s bottom-placed club truly deserved their win. They scored, hit the post and defended for their lives – at least part of the reason that Liverpool were so poor was because Plymouth restricted them. Katic, Talovierov and Hazard in goal were particularly outstanding. Sorinola made a sensational block to deny Diaz.
I wonder if they can turn this cup form into the Championship. Plymouth face Millwall on Wednesday. They are bottom and have a lot of ground to make up on some ‘big’ clubs down the bottom. But if you can beat Liverpool, you can beat anyone. It will be interesting to see if Miron Muslic can save Argyle from relegation come the end of the season.
This is the Championship table, as things stand.
| Pos | Team | P | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | Portsmouth | 31 | -17 | 30 |
| 21 | Hull | 30 | -9 | 29 |
| 22 | Derby | 31 | -9 | 28 |
| 23 | Luton | 30 | -19 | 27 |
| 24 | Plymouth | 30 | -34 | 25 |
