"The FA Cup has come under some criticism in recent times, with teams not taking it seriously, some bizarre kick off times and especially this season in the UK, the FA Cup has not been on freeview television channels."
"Many will have tuned in today and been surprisingly excited for a usual Premier League game, because of the increased away allocation creating that extra bite and fire in the game."
"Salah looked fairly sluggish out there today, similar to the rest of his season, and often being too slow on the ball."
"Liverpool were outclassed by their opposition and in no small thanks to Erling Haaland, who scored a hattrick for the home side."
Manchester City dominated Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-final, winning 4-0 with Erling Haaland scoring a hat-trick. Liverpool struggled throughout the match, and there was little to take away positively from their performance. The FA Cup, despite recent criticisms, showcased an exciting atmosphere with a large away contingent. Mohamed Salah's announcement of leaving the club added pressure, but he underperformed, reflecting a lackluster season. The match emphasized the competition's significance and the need for teams to engage more seriously with it.
