It was astonishingly disappointing when, on February 9, 2025, the journey of Liverpool in FA Cup was ended, as eventual 1-0 losers to Plymouth Argyle, the most tail-ender team in the league. This vastly unexpected letdown was bound to leave their fans reeling, and Liverpool now finds itself with nothing but a chance to win half the crown.
The solitary goal was from the spot, coolly dispatched by an overjoyed Hardie and turned out to be the winner. The mood on the development was euphoric, with- if not created in the stadium or shared on social networks by the team-leaders’ phone calls.
This was a disastrous setback for Liverpool, who had been anticipated to progress far in the cup. Now they must watch from the ‘stands’ as others vie for the FA Cup glory.
When the dust has settled after this surprise, Liverpool’s fans will be wondering what could have been. They will now have to regroup and concentrate on the remaining games in hope of whatever can be saved from the season.
