Half-time
Half-time in extra-time: It remains 1-1 at the Boleyn Ground between #LFC and @whufc_official
— Liverpool FC (@LFC) Tue Feb 09 21:59:50 +0000 2016
Another from Benteke.
Another off target.
It comes moments after Sturridge could’ve played in Origi, but got his pass horribly wrong.
Will they be made to pay for these missed chances?
The Spaniard was neat and tidy in the middle and has got through around 110 minutes all in.
James Milner comes on.
Benteke misses x2
So close from Benteke as he volleys wide.Then he goes clean through, one on one with Randolph.
He has to score - he doesn’t! Denied by the legs of the West Ham keeper.
James Milner is set to come on. The question is who for?
Noble denied
A fierce hit from Mark Noble is beaten away by Simon Mignolet.West Ham trying to come on strong.Liverpool happy to leave Sturridge, Benteke and Origi up field to counter.
Lots of space in the midfield to exploit.
Quality losing out to tired minds right now.
Will be interesting if this goes to penalties - Mignolet very good, Randolph an unknown quantity.

Quite a good simple stats sheet this.The Ronseal of stats pieces:

Key event
FT: West Ham 1-1 Liverpool
That’s the final whistle folks.Extra-time awaits.
Slaven Bilic can’t be happy. In all seriousness, they’ve been pretty abject.
No fluency since they were made.
Liverpool look most likely winners.
Daniel Sturridge fires one over at the other end.
Four minutes of injury-time left.
Dimitri Payet has struggled tonight, typified just by his attempted switch of play being blocked, deflecting back off him and going out for a Liverpool throw.
Liverpool in the ascendancy right now.
Referee Roger East doesn't fancy extra time. He's just added on EIGHT minutes of injury time.

Into injury-time
Awful backheel from Jordon Ibe puts Jon Flanagan in massive trouble.But it’s an excellent tackle from the fullback on Valencia.
Corner West Ham...EIGHT MINUTES added on!
Yellow card
Booking for Antonio
Comfortable save in the end for Mignolet.Michail Antonio has been booked, fouling Origi.
86: Ooooh! Carroll nods down to Payet, who touches off to Noble, and his drive is saved by Mignolet. [1-1] #WHULIV #WHUFC #COYI

Valencia misses
A good chance for Enner Valencia is squandered.He pulled away well, but directed his header much too high.
Never going to find the net like that.
Victor Moses is on for West Ham for the injured O’Brien. He’s down the right wing, with Antonio now at right-back.
Benteke denied
A freekick for Liverpool, 25 yards from goal.Benteke strikes it firmly, looking for the top corner, but Randolph, diving to his right, turns it away.
West Ham have a problem with Joey O’Brien.
Possibly just cramp.
The Belgian drifts infield, plays it to Sturridge, who arcs an outside the boot through ball back towards Origi.
Unfortunately, a shade too heavy.
There’s a goal here before extra-time...but for who?

Here comes Carroll
Kouyate will play no further part.And Slaven Bilic calls on Andy Carroll.
Still Liverpool’s £35million record signing.
Referee blew up straight away as the midfielder went down.
Clash of heads with Flanagan. Kouyate coming off much worse.
West Ham physios have rolled him onto his side.
Ilori a lucky boy
How have the officials missed that!?Brilliant cross from Antonio and Valencia is surely there to tap home.
But the Ecuadorian is hauled down by Ilori and NOTHING is given.
A stonewall penalty if ever there was one.
Winston Reid's night over
Charging back from a corner, Winston Reid has picked up a hamstring problem.He’ll be replaced by James Collins.
West Ham fortunate Liverpool didn’t make the most of their break. Five vs Two, but Sturridge was offside.
.@DanielSturridge makes his long-awaited return for @LFC... #EmiratesFACup https://t.co/1hd2m4jM4Q
Liverpool's shape
OK.So Christian Benteke remains as the focal point of the attack.
Daniel Sturridge is playing just off him, with Origi from the left.
Jordon Ibe is tucking slightly deeper from the right, more readily helping the midfield duo of Chirivella and Stewart.
Very interesting.
Key event
Subs: Sturridge and Origi on
Attacking from Jurgen Klopp.Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge BOTH come on.
Christian Benteke DOES NOT go off.
Coutinho and Teixeira the men replaced.
Sturridge. Klopp is smelling blood.
Fortunately, he gets away with it.
Straight down the other end, Liverpool can’t make the most of a numerical advantage.
CHANCE
Liverpool so close to taking the lead.Again, Brad Smith casues problems, surging past Joey O’Brien.
His cross is blocked, falling to Benteke, whose effort is charged down.
Eventually, West Ham clear the danger.
West Ham fraught with nerves at the start of this half.
Sturridge coming on
Liverpool are preparing a double change.And one of those is Daniel Sturridge is one of them.
Tweet
Very timely indeed.Really clever.
But that Hammers wall...oh dear.
318 - Philippe Coutinho's goal was Liverpool's first in 318 minutes
of action against West Ham in all competitions this season. Timely.
Liverpool with confidence renewed.
Noble has a go from 30 yards, it hits Ilori but nothing doing. Definitely not handball.
Goal
West Ham 1-1 Liverpool (Coutinho)
The Brazilian has done them all!Genius.
It’s going to be a struggled for Coutinho to get it up and over the wall.
So instead, he gambles, rolling it under the wall and hoping they’ll jump. Which they do...And Liverpool are level.
Wonderful from Coutinho.
Benteke fouled, Coutinho to take...
We're off again!
Reds out well before their hosts...Daniel Sturridge out warming up on the touchline straight away as well...Second half underway!
