Pundit Matthew Upson says he would have liked to see Liverpool “pay a price” for their handling of the FA Cup fourth round replay with Shrewsbury Town this week.

Still, Upson wanted to see Liverpool’s youthful team knocked out of the competition, which seems harsh on those impressive academy players who earned a good result.
One hopes this rather tedious drama can now come to an end with Liverpool’s win, which sets up an intriguing tie with Chelsea in the next round.
