If the young players advance we should believe in them against Chelsea too. Let it be their cup run

The kids won’t beat Chelsea so no point going through against @shrewsweb let’s get out of this cup ASAP #YNWA

Will "the kids" beat Shrewsbury in the fourth-round replay?
Yes
No
The Liverpool fans had a mixed reaction, some don’t even think the “kids” will get past Shrewsbury, so this could be a lot of discussion for nothing.
FA cup in my eyes should be taken seriously. Klopp should field a half decent team.

The journey was very memorable.

What Do We Think?
It’s going to be a tough FA Cup fourth-round replay for Liverpool if they do actually field “the kids”, as Shrewsbury showed that they are no pushover in the original match when the League One side came back from 2-0 down.
