Shrewsbury has had their share of excellent chances but hasn’t been able to capitalize.

Seriously…what in the holy fuck is the reason for either of these jerseys?
( I understand it’s money, but is there a reason for today?)
He heard me complimenting his work on the left side and the lack of need to rent a replacement.
Yes, It's 'No More Red'

London has a huge problem with knife crime. I'm not gonna knock the initiative, but it's gonna take goverment investment into areas of social deprivation and so on and so forth...
Shrewsbury had several good chances that went just wide or over. Could’ve had more than one with a bit more clinicality.
Martin Tyler is awful. Both Trent and Odegaard have had almost screamers just hit the crossbar and he’s barely noticed
All I'm really thinking watchin this is Liverpool need another central defender, but one that's super comfortable on the ball with a decent passing range.
They're pretty thin right now with VVD out and Mac Allister not really up to speed - too sleepy. Arsenal’s press has really given Liverpool problems.
Even on the scoresheet, even on crossbars. I’ll take it. Mind you, a replay only benefits City.
The redeployment of the Liverpool front three seems to have had a big effect - Liverpool looking much brighter.
I’m guessing the ref isn’t sure of the frequency given the invisible numbers on the shirts.
Down their best defender, their best midfielder and their best forward. Can't be upset with this result.
If that last defender had back heeled it away this might be a different conversation.
Fourth round draw:
- Watford vs Southampton
- Blackburn vs Wrexham
- Bournemouth vs Swansea
- West Brom vs Brentford or Wolves
- West Ham or Bristol City vs Nottingham Forest or Blackpool
- Leicester vs Hull or Birmingham
- Sheffield Wednesday vs Coventry
- Chelsea vs Aston Villa
- Ipswich vs Maidstone
- Liverpool vs Norwich or Bristol Rovers
- Tottenham vs Manchester City
- Leeds vs Plymouth
- Crystal Palace or Everton vs Luton or Bolton
- Newport or Eastleigh vs Wigan or Manchester United
- Sheffield United vs Brighton
- Fulham vs Newcastle
Feels like the EPL teams are mostly paired against each other, depending on how the replays shake out.
There will be at least 6 championship or lower teams that are going to go through the final 16 and maybe a few more.

I'm annoyed Luton played to a draw, now they have a rematch on the road. They had so many opportunities to score.
Think you’re unlikely to have Son due to international duty so that’s practically starting with a 2 goal lead for us in this fixture
Vindicated.
Actually works out well for Everton. As bad as it was, the red was around the 80th minute, so its impact on the game was minimal. So survived and earned the replay at Goodison, notwithstanding the extra fixture for a banged up squad it's an opportunity to win and advance in a favorable-looking draw- not only does the next round look good (either Luton or Bolton at home, nvm that Luton already won at Goodison) but top PL sides continue to be paired against each other, knocking each other out.
Yet another bad look for PGMOL - which has, apparently a new CEO (can’t find the link)
Good for them. It's a pretty significant indictment. I'm sure it has happened before, but it's hard to remember a red card appeal working when the call on the field was play on, but reversed by VAR. Usually it's when a ref thinks he sees something and calls a card on the field that VAR doesn't overturn.
I expect there was probably some internal pressure to uphold, because my goodness what an indictment of the whole fucking thing. But they did the right thing, which is something at least.
