da gbg bet: Liverpool looked to be heading into the fifth round of the FA Cup with relative ease until League One side Shrewsbury Town staged a stunning comeback from 2-0 down to earn a replay.
da realbet: Jurgen Klopp’s men took the lead through youngster Curtis Jones early in the first half, which has caused some members of the Reds faithful praising him, before Donald Love’s own goal seconds into the second half put Liverpool on the front foot.
Salop striker Jason Cummings came off the bench to nab a ten-minute brace which rocked the champions of Europe as the lower league opposition had a chance to win it in the dying stages.
Klopp threw on his first-team stars, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino but they just couldn’t find the winner as the German showed his intentions of not wanting an extra fixture on their schedule.
Here’s what the supporters have been saying about the goalscoring Jones…
Several referenced the potential that the 18-year-old has at his feet as he notched his second goal of the season in the competition.
“Different gravy” and “unbelievable” were just two phrases used to describe his showing in central midfield.

Jones picked up the highest rating of any Liverpool player on SofaScore after recording a passing accuracy of 85%, managing three successful dribbles and three clearances.
It has led to other fans making an array of comparisons from one Liverpool great to one of the best players in the world…
One member of the travelling support compared the teenager to Lionel Messi, claiming he was better than the five-time Balon d’Or winner, perhaps a tad tongue in cheek.
The more realistic link was made to Reds legend Steven Gerrard, who also came through the youth ranks as a local lad.

Another supporter even suggested that Jones was a Philippe Coutinho clone – but one with a better engine.
There was also a shout for the academy graduate to be the future captain at the club, which is an interesting prospect considering he plays the same role as current skipper Jordan Henderson, who will be 30 next season.
