Monday, April 6 – 1914
The officials, players, and all concerned in the welfare of the Liverpool club, have every reason to be gratified with the events of the past week.
Following upon the great triumph over the Villa in the semi-final tie valuable points have accrued from their engagements at Newcastle and Tottenham, with the result that the efforts of the players can now be concentrated upon the all-absorbing Cup final on the 25th.
On the same enclosure where the Anfielders delivered their decisive blow to the Cupholders they shared the honours with the ‘Spurs, but in accomplishing this latter feat (says Rover) they must be accounted somewhat fortunate.
The goalkeeper, almost alone, stood between the Londoners and success, and probably by this time selection committees and others will have come to the conclusion that the young Scot has no compeer in the realms of sport in the exacting and onerous position which he holds.
The play as a whole was somewhat scrappy throughout, and stood out in marked contrast to that of the previous week at White Hart-lane. Tottenham folk have had the experience of seeing Liverpool in two moods, but if there was not that wholesome blending of method that obtained a week previously, there was nevertheless a serving up of individual brilliance, which of course, is not so acceptable to the average supporter as the all-round excellence of a side.
