Moura should have started. Not an emotional decision, not a decision based on hindsight but a decision based on human empathy and an appreciation for what someone had achieved to get us to the final. If a Harry is as humble as Poch says he is then he would have understood why he didn’t start. But how much confidence would Lucas have got from being given the nod ahead of Kane. Kane could still have been brought on at half time to score the winner!!!! Having said all of that I thought we played ok and restricted them to very little but we didn’t create a lot and that is with Kane, Son, Dele and Eriksen starting. Most fans would have gone with that. Hopefully a painful learning experience for all concerned.

Moura has big jangly big game balls which he already proved. Mystified as to how he barely even got enough time to get up to speed.

If he didn't start, he should have come on at half time. Deserved to play. Son has been poor for a while now. I understand starting Kane, even tho I wouldn't have. But Lucas had to start.
Son was our best player today, with Winks. Easily. Lucas did not offer much when coming on.

Incredible amount of wingeing on here.
We didn't disgrace ourselves. The early goal made things hard. We dominated the game, and both teams struggled in the heat. But we will come back stronger. Why can't we win it next year, like Liverpool?

Alli and Eriksen are like our Ozils. Look good when playing well, but can be passengers when the chips and flicks don't come off. They have more talent than the likes of Henderson and Milner, but their running and closing sets the tone for Liverpool.

If I saw Klopp crossing the road I would speed up

Nah I don’t begrudge him a little success. As much as I hate Liverpool fans in general I don’t mind the way they play or the way he coaches. They edged a tight game and I do not see any shame in that.

I still can’t get over at how that game was there for the taking ! So frustrating knowing we may never get to this position again for a long time

Sorry what’s all this Kane crap, we didn’t create any chances so it wouldn’t matter who plays, proud to be here but sorry how it turned out. COYS

No disagree. We didn’t create because we were pretty much playing with 10 men.

Tbf we haven’t played a good 90 for time. Whu, afcb, Brighton, were all like tonight’s lacklustre performance.

But for me. Kane did nothing to affect the game.

So, walking away from the pub after full time. Have my 15 year old with me ... he is as down as me. Then four pool supporters walk up and take the piss. Would you a) deck the biggest fucker of them all or b) just walk away and comfort your kid. Answers on a post card.

Why is sissoko so god damn stupid. Sigh. Kill our game plan totally. Everytime before a must win we joke hahaaha who knows we might just concede a stupid goal early just to laugh at ourselves. But deep down we know we say it just so that we be proven wrong, yet it happens every fucking god damn time. Why are we just so fucking spursy
And don't forget we only wake up at half time.

If you can't play at a tempo after a 3 week break what chance do you have? They played benfica in a match we played stupid mind games. Is kane fit? Will he play? Did he play? In my opinion we should have went all in as we had nothing to lose anyway
why wait 3 weeks though. Imo the final should be a week after season ends. Keep match sharpness. It was friendly like out there. No urgency from either side.

The break helped us. Gave us a chance to get players back, freshen up, etc. Had we played like that against Liverpool two weeks ago we might have got hammered. The break closed the gap. It was like a preseason game unfortunately and we were punished for our mistakes.

Proud of the team, it was a miracle that we got there.

Devastated that it was there for us and we didn’t grab the chance, that is what hurts the most.

Onwards and upwards, COYS!

Fuck it. I LOVE THIS CLUB and so proud that we got to enjoy a CL final.
Yeah, great and all as it was, we still have nothing to show for it though. I just hope they learn from this and have another good run at it next year, with some quality reinforcements.

You CANNOT move your arm out the way when it hits your chest then your arm. It’s humanly impossible and I believe it cost us the game!! WHERE WAS VAR? Sorry but it’s impossible

Here it comes, the oh so expected "How did Moura not start??!" questions. Bore off. Son was our best player today. Kane is our talisman. Our x man. If he's fit, he starts, no questions asked. Origi set the world alight in the semifinal as well. Didn't start. Came on and scored a quality goal. Lucas came on and honestly did not offer much. Had 1 chance in the box but did not connect with the ball whatsoever.
