Our cup run so far

[locutusofliverpool]

In the two games we played against Luton and Pompey the lads put in a pretty dismal team performance but managed to get through. Given our consistent form in the CL and the Prem League, why has the teams form deviated so dramatically in the two FA Cup games so far?

 

I guess the straightfoward explaination is that the opposition have upped their game against us. Plus given our short FA Cup campaign last season, I think the FA Cup is proving to be a new but difficult experience for some of our players. They have to get used to playing in rubbish pitches and against opposition that will play a more high tempo and more physical game than they are used to in the prem league.

 

I suppose another way to look at it is to look at the specific circumstances of our two Cup games (injuries, fatigue, tatics, etc)

 

 

Any thoughts?
