Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te hinganga o te kapa Liverpool i te whiringa toa o te FA Cup kua aro nui ki te karapu me te whakarite kia whakawakia tenei pakanga hei ngoikoretanga. Ko te hiahia nui i Anfield kia noho tonu a Liverpool ki te Champions League me te kaha ki te wikitoria i te Barclays Premier League. Engari, i muri i tētahi rā kino ki Aston Villa, he mārama kei te tawhiti atu rātau i te whakatutukitanga o taua moemoea. Kei te anga atu a Liverpool ki te āhua noa iho? Ranei he nui te pūkenga hei whakarite kia whakatikatikahia ngā hapa kia taea ai te haere whakamua? He raumati nui e karanga ana, ā, kāore he wāhi mō te hē. Ka whakatuwherahia e Philippe Coutinho te kaute mo Liverpool ki Aston Villa me te whakaoti pai i Wembley. Ko Christian Benteke (pokapū) e tohu ana mō Aston Villa kia 1-1 ai, ā, ka tīmata te whakaoranga o te kapa a Tim Sherwood. Ka patu te kaitakawaenga o Ingarangi a Fabian Delph i te whainga tuarua a Villa ki te wikitoria i te kemu me te tuhi i tetahi waahi ki te whakamutunga o te Ipu. Ahakoa ngā whakamoemiti katoa i tae mai ki a Brendan Rodgers i te tau whakamutunga, i a ia e whakatakoto ana i tētahi wero ohorere, whakaongaonga hoki mō te taitara, me whakaae te kaiwhakahaere ki ngā whakahē. Ka rite ki tana kapa, he iti iho tana mahi. Ae ra, i tika kia whakahonoretia ia mō te whakamutu i te koretake o waenganui o te takurua. He mea mohio ki te huri i te whakatakotoranga o Liverpool ki te 3-4-3, e whakaoho ana i te whakataetae 13-kōwhiringa kore i roto i te whakataetae. Engari kaore ia i whai tohu ki nga kēmu e whai tikanga ana. I Wembley i kite mātou i tētahi tauira tino pai. I hurihia e ia nga punaha (mai i te 3-4-2-1 ki te 4-3-3 ki te 4-1-4-1) engari kaore a Liverpool i kitea he puoro. Ehara tēnei i te take motuhake. I puta nga whakarereketanga i muri i te tiimata kino i te tukinga 1-1 me Basle i arahi ki te wehenga o Liverpool mai i te Champions League. Kua puta ētahi atu take. Ko te kōwhiri i tētahi rārangi whakamātautau i te Bernabeu ki a Real Madrid i Whiringa-ā-nuku i te tau kua hipa, he mea whakamiharo. I tinihangatia ia e Louis van Gaal i te haerenga a Manchester United i te Poutu-te-rangi <unk> he hapa te kore e tiimata Steven Gerrard <unk> me te hainatanga a Mario Balotelli kua hoatu ki a Rodgers he raru kaore i taea e ia te whakatau i te waa katoa. He auaha a Rodgers, he āta whakaaro, ā, he mea nui, kei te ako tonu i tana mahi. Ko ana kapa...
E hiahia ana a Brendan Rodgers ki tētahi raumati pai hei whakahoki mai i te whakawhirinaki ki Anfield. Ko te komiti whakawhiti o Liverpool i raro i te pēhanga kia hainatia he kaitākaro pai ake. Kei te arotakehia a Rodgers inaianei i muri i tana whakaatu i nga tukinga nui.
