"A very, very poor showing from what was a fairly strong Reds side, the midfield were terrible, Lucas and Allen, but a win is a win and the pitch may have played its part, congrats to Mansfield for putting up a good fight. Bring on the Mancs!!!"
"memories of stoke... we need to learn how to play against these sorts of teams. Anyhow, job done. Good bye mansfield and the oddest looking couple likely to run a football club. "
"Suarez, you little cheating , that was very unfair!!!!! Not much better than any other cheating manure player. Otherwise congratulations to Daniel!! He played brilliant, but should have won easier.. Guess the pitch was the main problem, but it's not the greatest of excuses. Thanks guys, now forget about today's nightmare. Bring it on manure!"
"Well done on your 1st goal on your debut. Hope there is plenty more to come. Just a shame it will be remembered for Suarez's handball.Why did he do it there was just no need ....But at least we got the win"
"A poor performance and a controversial win. Yes we should have been out of sight within the first fifteen minutes but credit to Mansfield they outplayed us for most of the second half. Shelvey had a good game, the less said about Joe Allen the better."
"chucke: The only thing you have come here to do after a win is to call a red man "rubbish". Well done, wish Anfield was full of fans like you.... Really impressed by your technical knowledge and reasoning too.. A coaching role under Rodgers awaits you if you keep it up. "
"Well done Daniel.
Again, unnecessary cheat from Suarez. LFC is a world class club. We should win by playing better than others not by cheating. Suarez should know he's so good he doesn't need cheating to win. "
"Chucke, don't worry our resident know it all is at large. He is a self appointed coach and the voice of all of us. He wants to tell all how to write, think and act, like some over bearing relative. There is a touch of flu about him, don't go near him, contagious and very irritating. "
"Suarez d better stop trying to use your hand to cheat. I have seen him trying this in the last few games. He will get used to it, and it will be seen a referee someday , and with the red.
Be disciplined. Win by skills not by cheat."

"Well Played DS. Hope there's more to come from you very soon. Always difficult games these. Fair play to Mansfield they gave it their all and were unlucky."
"We won but hats off to Mansfield for putting up a spirited display and showing great respect for the 96! One good thing that came out of this is our young players get to experience the passion of playing in the FA Cup!"
"Thought the Mansfeild manager's comments after the game showed the real spirit of the FA Cup and football in general.
Well done LFC and I hope Mansfield progress theough the leagues after that acknowledgment of the 96
Quality"
"Allen is too small to handle tall and strong opponent.
Henderson, Downing, and Cote do not show strength superior to opponent players. I don't see any consistency and potential of them being a powerful force to beat giant teams. Maybe it's time to sell them and buy real strong players. Please look for taller players as well. The air ball makes us look so weak."
"nice pics! a good win on a difficult pitch but we could play a bit better and take advantage of the counter attacks a bit better! Great start for Dan Sturridge! Keep going so lad! YNWA"
"Why do we have a lot of hypocrites here as fans?LFC wins and u blame your striker for cheating..how many times do we get cheated by officials and these same nagging fans complain.(Remember Everton and swansea disallowed goals?)"
"arostie: So what? You mean if we get robbed by officials we should put up with cheating from our own player? Those goals were against blues and swansea, not against mansfield, how do their fans feel after this game? It was handball (not deliberate though), it was against rules and I can't accept it. Better be draw than unfair win"
"gsarret If its not deliberate then why call Luis a cheat? Its just Karma ok..it goes for u someday and against u some other day.if not stop accusing ur own players for cheating and support the Greatest team on Earth"
"A Premiership team resorting to cheating to beat a non-league side. What fabulous sportsmanship! What an honourable way to return the respect shown to them. Respect guys! NOT"
"arostie: Have you read 1984 by Orwell? What do you want me to do, the DOUBLETHINK thing - accuse manure players of cheating and not accept that today's win was unfair? It was deflection, wasn't done on purpose, yet he could have easily gone to officials and admit that. OR AT LEAST APOLOGIZE TO THE FANS OF MANSFIELD"
"Even if Luis' handball was deliberate, (which I don't think it was), he did it to help LFC win the match, that is the compeive nature of the man! Suarez = Legend in the making..."
"SGM73 AT 18.15, WELL SAID. I'VE NEVER EVER SEEN CHUCKER SAY ANYTHING POSITIVE. I'LL BUY A HALF SEASON TICKET FOR WOODISON ON THE DAY HE ACTUALLY COMPLIMENTS A PLAYER OR LFC IN GENERAL. "
"Gsarret - I agree with you, there's no place in the game for cheating but it did look accidental (for once).He does look to Maradonna as a role model so what do you expect? I can see us getting a raw deal next time though #karma "
"So many terrible comments from so called Liverpool fans. Don't know where we get these 'fans' from, but they certainly have a screw or two lose. Listen to the words of our own manager and the officals, it was not deliberate hand ball otherwise it would not have stood. If you can't support players or the team then go support another team, they would be lucky to have u"

"To all those Fans (so called) calling Suarez a cheat, If the ref doesnt blow the whistle then play on. Its that simple, Haven't you ever heard play to the whistle."
"I don't see other players apologising for 'unfair' goals. Refs will always make mistakes. I feel bad for mansfield, but blaming suarez after everything he's done for the club is just ridiculous."
"Kudos to the class shown by Mansfield with putting up the banner and names of the 96. But as for the game itself we were tettering at the end. We should have put the game to bed within the first 30 mins. Hopefully we start very brightly next week or it will be a long 90 minutes."
