Just back from Anfield - and there's plenty of positives we can take from that game against what was a very strong West Ham side.
Again, though. It's endless frustration. No goals, too little invention, another game to prepare for. Not that I can complain too much, given the youth on display.
A few players did their hopes of becoming useful squad players no harm whatsoever - namely Teixeira, who massively grew into the contest, and Stewart.
Brannagan - not for the first time this season - seemed to fade, but I've said before: we can't just judge these lads on the FA Cup, when they are playing with similar lads from the Academy. Often, being deployed with better players will mean you get a better performance from them. Namely because the best players - the likes of Henderson and Coutinho - tend to get another 10 per cent out of those surrounding them.
I'm angry we have another game to prepare for. Is this the longest season ever? Still, hopefully I will get tickets for the replay and head to Upton Park for the first (and last) time.
The midfield three can definitely take heart from the game - and it was delightful to see Allen with the armband after his recent form. I'm convinced he won't be our player come August, but you know what? I will miss him.
Lovren played diligently and both he and Caulker - playing together for the first time - performed their roles with minimal fuss and should be commended.
Benteke and Ibe did themselves no favours. The former remains unable to get in the danger zone for an incoming cross, while the latter has his head down too much and runs into blind alleys all too often.
Still, I expected us to get beat when we heard the team. Another replay isn't ideal - but throw the kids out, see if West Ham beat us and - if they can - we may get a weekend off before the Capital One Cup final.
