What people are saying
Extremely proud. It's been 14 years, that's a long time
It felt like the end of the world when we were knocked out at Fleetwood
In the end, that defensive line, the way we stick together, that togetherness we have, is undefeated.
To come to Anfield and be put under that much pressure and not have a shot on target from the opposition, or Liverpool not get a big chance given the money they have spent on their attack, is outstanding.
