Brendan Rodgers:
On his son Anton coming on for Oldham
"It's brilliant, I've seen Anton's life from when he was a young footballer and to see him run out there was a bit surreal really.
"He's a great kid and we're very proud of him as mother and father. He's having a good career and Oldham are a brilliant club for him, they really look after him well.
On the need to bring on the South American trio of Lucas, Coutinho and Suarez
"We needed to have more speed in our game and a bit more intensity. You don't want to do it (making the substitutions) but the last thing I wanted was the game to go to a replay.
"I think you learn as a manager. As you get more experiences you can either wait for it to happen or, if you don't think it's going to happen, you have to change the momentum of the game by making your subs.
"Coutinho came on, Lucas came on and they add that bit of intensity and greater purpose to our play. That allowed us to get better control."
Great victory,next round #FACup thank you so much for the supports pic.twitter.com/NGfpfnJA10

Credit to Raheem Sterling today - involved in both goals & did a job at right-back when needed. He's in good form #lfc

It wasn't pretty but much improved 2nd half display booked Liverpool's passage to 4th round of FA Cup. Sterling excellent after the break.
