This morning we are working in tandem with The Danny Baker Show on BBC Radio 5 live and asking the question: When was the exact moment you realised you probably should give up football?

Adam Dixon: I realised I should give up football after making my Sunday League debut in goal. Hadn't played for five years. I was knocked unconscious and needing stitches within two minutes. Clean sheet on my debut though.

Alban: I knew it was time to give up when I made it to first name terms with the doctors at A&E...

Olafur Buxton: When it was decided my skills, or lack thereof, would be better suited in goal. They weren't.

Former Blackburn and Chelsea striker Chris Sutton on BBC Radio 5 live: "I don't think Robin van Persie is the player he was. As you get older you lose that sharpness and I think he's lost a bit of that. He needs to get himself some goals."

"Maybe there is something not quite right with the way Louis van Gaal has Manchester United set up at the moment that is not playing to Van Persie's strength."

I was just about to press go on an entry reporting that Australia had won the Asian Cup - their first major tournament victory - courtesy of Massimo Luongo's goal. But with 90 minutes on the clock, South Korea have dramatically hit back to silence most of the 76,000 people in Stadium Australia. Son Heung-min with the goal. It is not just an equaliser, it is a huge psychological edge for the South Koreans for extra time, which is coming shortly.

Former Everton and Manchester United assistant Steve Round: "As you get older, you reach a peak and when you pass that peak your ability, technically and physically, drops off.

"But Robin van Persie still a top class player. I think you need to get balls to him early. I also wonder if Wayne Rooney playing in midfield has affected him.

"When Van Persie and Rooney played up front together they have an impressive win percentage."

Any football fan worth their salt remembers the game at the King Power Stadium back in September when Manchester United threw away a 3-1 lead to lose 5-3 to Leicester. It remains somewhat emblematic of Louis Van Gaal's United: capable of brilliance but permanently vulnerable at the back.

United's confidence will not have been helped by the 0-0 draw at Cambridge in the FA Cup, nor will they be particularly pleased to be coming up against a Leicester side that have belied their status as the league's bottom club by winning three of their last four games. There may be no Jamie Vardy in the Leicester attack this afternoon but new £9m forward Andrej Kramaric (who has already scored 28 goals this season for his previous side Rijeka - he also bagged eight in one Croatian Cup match last season) could be in line for a start.

This morning we are working in tandem with The Danny Baker Show on BBC Radio 5 live and asking the question: When was the exact moment you realised you probably should give up football?

Johnj: When should you give up? I didn't know it was optional. Still playing at 51 years old and after three different football-caused knee operations. Why did nobody tell me?

Steve, Liverpool: Student v Staff at the Royal Academy of Arts, the year 2000 in Green Park, London. My sliding tackle leaves my left leg stuck in a hole, snapping both bones and leaving my left leg pointing 180 degrees the wrong way, needing a plate, eight screws, two pins, wire, plus a week in hospital. Great tackle mind you!

Justin: I realized goalkeeping probably wasn't for me after breaking a wrist, cracking a rib, freezing my foot and sending my back into spasm, all in only three years!

Former Blackburn and Chelsea striker Chris Sutton on BBC Radio 5 live: "I think Everton are vulnerable at the back and have conceded far too many goals.

"I thought Roberto Martinez said he could address that easily, but it doesn't appear to have been as easy as he maybe initially felt. You do sometimes get a big team that falls into the relegation battle and it could be Everton this season.

"I think maybe at times they should be more direct. When I say direct I don't mean long ball, just being quicker in the transitions from defence and midfield into attack."

This morning we are working in tandem with The Danny Baker Show on BBC Radio 5 live and asking the question: When was the exact moment you realised you probably should give up football?

Tony, London: Mine was after playing a game on Blackheath Common in 80mph winds and nearly being decapitated by an eight-foot wide kite.

Mike, Manchester: I knew it was time to give up playing football when I went from left wing, to left-back, to left on the bench. Replaced by lads who didn't enjoy the occasional cig and pint Sunday football combo.

Matty Malcolm, north east Scotland: I didn't have to realise when it was time to give up football - my wife let me know that Sunday's just weren't any fun when I sulked for eight hours, loss after loss! I guess she just doesn't understand the winner's mentality!

Former Everton assistant manager Steve Round on BBC Radio 5 live: "I am surprised Everton are struggling. they have some good players and a good manager. Roberto Martinez inherited a good squad, and added to it in Romely Lukaku and he got the goals to put them in the mix for the Champions League places last season.

"That was what was missing when I was there with David Moyes. We were after Wilfried Bony and Alvaro Negredo but just couldn't afford them and the best we could afford was Nikica Jelavic.

"I think they seem to have tipped the balance a little bit from playing great football to playing winning football. This year they've tried to be total football and haven't won games. But I'm sue he will turn it around and I have no worries about Everton."

Life is pretty sweet for Alan Pardew right now. He has won all four the matches for which he has taken charge since swapping the Newcastle goldfish bowl for a Selhurst Park pedestal. Crystal Palace have gone from quivering relegation wrecks to confident table-climbers under his guidance. They have also discovered the secret to going behind and still coming out with a win - not a bad quality to have when you're trying to stay in any division.

In contrast, I give you Roberto Martinez at Everton. After last season's stellar showing, Martinez and his side are struggling. Badly. Their points tally at this stage is their lowest since the 2000-2001 season, when they eventually finished fifth from bottom. To say they need a win against Palace today is the biggest understatement since one Liverpool fan turned to another and said: "You know what, I think we might miss this Suarez bloke if he leaves."

This morning we are working in tandem with The Danny Baker Show on BBC Radio 5 live and asking the question: When was the exact moment you realised you probably should give up football?

Jon Hammond-Williams: The day I knew I should probably give up football was the day of my trial at Bristol Rovers where, as a goalkeeper, I had the worst game ever and conceded 10 goals.

Warren, Kidderminster: Started playing in goal at the age of nine. Called it a day 34 years later after getting Players' Player and Managers' Player of the Year. The right time to stop on a high. Plus aching bones on a Monday morning.

Lee Fleming: Realised I should hang up my 'keepers gloves after getting nutmegged eight times in a 5-a-side game... I was 15.

Of course, it was a disappointing week for Liverpool on the pitch with the narrow defeat to Chelsea on Tuesday ending their hopes of an appearance at Wembley in the Capital One Cup final. However, a win today, against the team a point and place above them in the table, will be at least a positive response and step in the right direction (ie. towards the top four).

West Ham travel to Liverpool after beating Hull and Bristol City without conceding in their last two outings. However, the last time they won at Anfield Big Sam was 10 (and presumably called Little Sam). They've done superbly so far this season. Can this be the year to break that 50-year hoodoo and complete a 2014/15 double over the Reds in the process?

This morning we are working in tandem with The Danny Baker Show on BBC Radio 5 live and asking the question: When was the exact moment you realised you probably should give up football?

Robbie Docherty: As soon as the offside rule came into play at age 11. That was one defensive responsibility too many.

Gary Johnson: We played in the UK Corporate Games six-a-side and our two defenders had a combined age of about 110.

Former Everton assistant manager Steve Round on BBC Radio 5 live: "It will be interesting to see if Mario Balotelli and Daniel Sturridge get used together.

"I think striking partnerships seems to be a bit in the past but I love two strikers. A lot depends on whether the two players can play together. Maybe Brendan Rodgers might prefer to use Sturridge centrally with Coutinho and Sterling supporting and Balotelli is used more as an impact player."

BBC Radio 5 live

Former Blackburn and Chelsea striker Chris Sutton on BBC Radio 5 live: "Yes I think they could work as a partnership. Mario Balotelli has taken a lot of flak but there's a player in there.

"Mario's lost a bit of confidence and maybe Daniel Sturridge can give him that spark to get him started."

Question is, can Daniel Sturridge and Mario Balotelli work together in attack for Liverpool? I think I should let individuals who are far more knowledgeable than I on such matters take over the answering of that question...

This morning we are working in tandem with The Danny Baker Show on BBC Radio 5 live and asking the question: When was the exact moment you realised you probably should give up football?

Dan, Bath: It was after being sent off in a sixth form game. Rather than being disappointed with myself and ashamed I'd let my team mates down, I was in fact happy I could have a quick cigarette!

Steve, Scunthorpe: The day I gave up playing was when my kids wouldn't even put me in goal in five-a-side. Still, I was 56 so I'd had a good run.

Andy, Lichfield: I am giving up after my first 11-a-side game for 20 years at St George's Park last night! That is one big pitch! Aching all over now.
