It may not have been pretty but it was certainly effective as Plymouth Argyle held Liverpool to a goalless draw to earn a replay.
Due to their busy fixture schedule, the Reds selected the youngest side in their history with an average age of 21 years and 296 days and display having 77 % of the possession they were unable to break down Derek Adams' side.
Belgian forward Divock Origi managed to find the back of the net for Jurgen Klopp's men, but it was ruled out for offside for a foul on Argyle right-back Gary Miller.
Despite the introduction of Daniel Sturridge, Roberto Firmino and Adam Lallana in the second half, the Reds still couldn't break the Pilgrims' resistance.
Nevertheless, Argyle did manage to carve out the odd chance of their own as Jake Jervis fired wide with an angled effort and substitute Craig Tanner, only to be denied by a timely challenge from Kevin Stewart.
The two sides now have a chance to go again in around ten days time and will also be ball number 17 in Monday's fourth round draw.
