  6. Takumi is an incredible player'published at 22:51 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2022

    FT: Liverpool 2-1 Norwich

    Liverpool

    Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, speaking to ITV Sport: "It was a tough game as we expected. It was 10 changes so you need a bit of time to adapt. Norwich kick start again, intensity wise, like in the Premier League game. But after 15 minutes or so we calmed the game down, played really good football and scored really good goals. We controlled the game when we kept the ball, played easy passes and waited for the gaps. Second half, we could not score the third goal and they have their situation and that can change the game. It didn't but they had a few more moments and we had to fight to get it over the line.

    "I am not surprised Takumi is an incredible player. It was the best game he had for us. He played a super game and was a constant threat. It was windy out there again so with these high balls, how he toom them down was really good. I am happy that he made an impression. Without him we wouldn't be in the quarter-finals, without him we wouldn't be in the final of the Carabao Cup. Super guy."

  7. 'We asked enough questions'published at 22:46 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2022

    FT: Liverpool 2-1 Norwich

    Norwich City

    Norwich boss Dean Smith to BBC Sport: "I thought the team who deserved to go through went through. But we asked enough questions of them. We created chances.

    "I was disappointed with the first goal we have given away. The game can get away from you here but we were determined not to let it happen.

    "I wanted us to be aggresive and on the front foot. We're a better team when we do that. We worked extremely hard and there were some positives.

    "We had moments in the final third where we were pushing. A lot of players who haven't had many minutes have come in and done exceptionally well. That'll help us picking the team."

  8. 'You can't expect perfection'published at 22:41 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2022

    FT: Liverpool 2-1 Norwich

    Liverpool

    Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to BBC Sport: "If you make 10 changes you can't expect perfection. We played a really good game, controlled. We were calm enough to open up their gaps. We scored wonderful goals.

    "We didn't finish the game off and it was still open. They scored and we had to fight to bring it over the line. That's fine. I'm really happy with the performance.

    "We are in four competitions, three left, because of the quality of the squad. If we could have done that in last years maybe we would. Ten changes and this line-up and a bench that can make an impact, that's really good.

    "Minamino played incredible tonight, one of the best games he had for us. He's in a good moment and that's good. Curtis Jones was incredible in the first half.

    "West Ham on Saturday, Milan on Tuesday, crazy schedule. That's why we have to make changes.

    "I'm really happy that the boys used the opportunity. It's really nice they could prove how good they are."

  9. 'Everything is about our mentality'published at 22:36 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2022

    FT: Liverpool 2-1 Norwich

    Liverpool

    Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas: "Hopefully we'll celebrate all the trophies. We'll go for all of them. We'll give everything to celebrate everything.

    "Everything is about our mentality, our team spirit. We had a big party but it ends on Sunday. This competition is very important also. Even with 10 changes, we play for the same goal, to win every game. Congratulations to all the boys who gave everything. We are a big family. Everyone wants to improve. This is a big challenge.

    "We deserved the win. The team spirit is most important. We fight for each other. It's a big family. This is most important in a football team. We always give everything in every game we play. Very important to play good."

  10. 'The ball in the cup is lighter'published at 22:29 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2022

    FT: Southampton 3-1 West Ham

    Southampton

    Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl to BBC Sport: "You can't speak about having a big squad and trusting everyone and not show the right signals.

    "It was hard for them in the beginning with no rhythm playing in front of 28,000 fans. It was clear with five subs you can decide the game in second half with subs.

    "It was an amazing goal [from Romain Perraud]. The ball in the cup is lighter and that's why you can shoot outside the box. We have a few good guys who can score goals from them.

    "Armando Broja had a good impact in the game. He is a threat with speed. We have quality and created some good parts in our game.

    "Making nine changes doesn't mean that we're not looking for this cup. It's a super opportunity for us. But we shouldn't forget these players have brought us here.

    "We should give them a chance to play again. It's tough but as soon as you saw players struggling after the Norwich game we knew we should make changes."

  11. 'We didn't do well enough to get through'published at 22:24 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2022

    FT: Southampton 3-1 West Ham

    West Ham United

    West Ham boss David Moyes to BBC Sport: "We probably didn't deserve it. We went behind to a worldie and we fought back.

    "I thought we were probably the better team at those stages of the game. We gave away a terrible second goal and the third didn't matter. We didn't do well enough to get through.

    "Congratulations to Southampton. I thought in the first half we had a lot of the ball but not the quality in the final third. We didn't take our half-chances.

    "In the second half after we got the goal back it looked like if any team was going on to win, it was us."

    That was a lot closer than I think many people inside the stadium expected, so credit to Norwich for giving Liverpool a scare in the final 15 minutes.

    The Canaries showed the sort of fight their fans will be hoping can be carried into the run in the Premier League as they look to try and secure Premier League survival.

    For Liverpool, it was a bit close for comfort in the end but they are into the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time under Jurgen Klopp.

  13. 'We can dream'published at 22:12 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2022

    FT: Southampton 3-1 West Ham

    Southampton

    Southampton goalscorer Romain Perraud to BBC Sport: "I think it's a great goal for us. We did a very good performance with some players who don't play every game against a good team.

    "Congratulations to the team and the club. Now we wait for the next round. West Ham played with their best team so it was difficult for us but after 15 or 20 minutes we began our game and we deserved this win.

    "We are ninth in the Premier League and in the last eight of the FA Cup. We can dream.

    "We'll wait for the next round but it's important for our confidence. Game after game we're in a good moment and we have to work on this."

    On potential quarter-final opponents: "So many good teams. We have to concentrate on our own team and we'll see. With these amazing fans I hope we can play at home."

    Norwich bow out and are now left to focus on trying to claw their way to Premier League safety. They'll need all of that fight they showed in the final 20 minutes here.

    It was much more nervy than it should have been but Liverpool get the job done.

    This is actually the first time Jurgen Klopp has guided the Reds into an FA Cup quarter-final. The quadruple remains alive.

    Billy Gilmour cannot believe Kieran Dowell has not picked up his intended pass into the box. Looked like Dowell thought he was offside as he stopped running with intent. Is that the last small possible opening for the visitors?

    Two minutes left for Norwich to prevent falling to a fourth loss to Liverpool this season and exiting the FA Cup.

    Dimitrios Giannoulis is having a rough end to this game. Cramp and now another problem. Not the best time to take the sting out of a tie you trail in.
