Yes agree, just wish a little more in the first half and better in the second but all in all not our best performance but nothing to be ashamed off

It was a stone cold penalty, nothing ridiculous about the decision

We were comfortably third and ended the season 4th. I'm more pissed off about losing away to Southampton, Burnley and Bournemouth and then to have shitty West Ham win at our new stadium. All of those should not have happened.
The Champions League was a ride and considering we were almost out 5 times but still made it to the final just made it more exciting.
We all know we have to build the squad and make it stronger which is exactly what Liverpool did. Sure, Liverpool didn't play well tonight but what is also sure is they had a better season than us for a team that we were better than before they spent £200M to fix it.

Like Hoddle said, if it hit his arm first you could take it on the chin but it his his body first. I’ve never seen that given as pen when the ref knows it hit the body first. It would’ve hit the arm wherever he had it because it hit the part nearest the shoulder

Not really. It gave the leading team a huge psychological assurance to be more risky knowing they were ahead. And being ahead almost immediately right off the start also mind-fucked the trailing team. Any preparation before the match could almost be gone, or 50% useless, with that scoreline at K.O

Lost to last year's finalists who also spent a pretty penny addressing their flaws and finished a fair few points above us.
It's not that bad.
Their fans, the media.... That's fucking bad. Tune out, keep the faith and roll on next season xx

To lose 20 games, still make Top 4 and make a Champs League Final is plain mental.

I wouldn't have thought we'd be in one to begin with. Anything can happen in football and with a couple of new faces and a full season in our new stadium we can be in the mix.

It was ridiculous either way. The decision or to have your fucking arm out that long in the box.
Chatting to my kid this morning, she's four, told her that Dad had to wait 40+ years for this final and she had one at age four.
Thank you to Poch and the lads for some amazing memories this season.
Summer off and we go again...but I am ok with a little break now....it has been an intense season.
The future is bright #COYS

You can still play the same way with the goal of scoring, it's 1 goal, I'm assuming our game plan had the intention of us scoring. Yes towards the final 20 you need to take more risks being a goal down but we could easily have stuck to our plan for 70 mins and tried to go equalise.

I didn't think we would make it either so fair play to get that far still the wait to win something drags on.

Personally I reckon the penalty was absolutely crucial because without it the pressure just builds on Liverpool and the longer the game went on the more it would have ground them down, I have said all along that all the pressure was on them. The penalty released all the pressure and from then on they never had to try to score and could defend in numbers.

What was the officiating problem for the 2nd goal? Seem ok to me but I literally turn the tv off as soon as the ball hit the net

Agreed. Imagine Eriksen having the bottle to say he is better than us? I’d let him go.
If you can’t turn up to that game yet you aren’t a top player.
Danny Rose. Effort and heart and quality. Yet half the natural talent of Eriksen.
