FA Cup 5th Round Hitlist
FA Cup Hits.
Barnsley win at Anfield: This is without doubt the shock result of the FA Cup so far this season, the fact that the win came at Anfield makes it even more special. The Barnsley defense was magnificent in the second half, as they gave their heart and soul for the cause. This result proves that the FA Cup is alive and kicking, roll on Chelsea for the Tykes.
David James: This has been a great season for James, as he has reestablished himself as England’s number one. His performance against Preston NE on Sunday saw his side navigate their way to the Quarter-Finals. He still is prone to his little moments but he has done enough this year to justify the reports linking him with a move to Spurs, possibly in the summer.
Luke Steele: Whilst David James is going through resurgence in his career, on Saturday we possibly saw the emergence of a keeper who put in one of those performances that will be talked about for years, and on debut. Steele kept the Liverpool attack at bay, time after time, and would have caught the attention of maybe some topflight scouts.
Five Star Albion: This was just the result West Brom needed as they put recent form to one side. Okay it was against a manager less Coventry City side, yet the result and the manner they went about it was impressive.
United destroy the Gunners: As poor as Arsenal were, Man United were simply superb at times. They totally outplayed Arsenal; as Nani caused the Arsenal defense all kinds of problems. Wayne Rooney was always a threat upfront and could, should, have added to his goal tally during the game. Has this result rekindled the fight for the Premiership title, only time will tell, but with that kind of performance the Red Devils have to be favorites to win the cup?
Bristol Rovers overcome the Saints: On another day this result would have stood out more, but due to the Barnsley result it hasn’t received the kind of attention it duly deserves.
FA Cup Misses.
Liverpool’s performance: When you look back at the game, Liverpool in all fairness should have destroyed Barnsley, yet Saturday just wasn’t to be. Liverpool started with nine internationals, and even had the luxury of bringing on two more, one being a certain Steven Gerrard. Maybe they had one eye on the Champions League game against Inter, but that does not excuse them going out against who they did.
