    I see Mr Fenway Sports is perched on the podium. If he knew anything about football he would know that we need a lot more quality if we want win the big trophies. That means a lot more investment or other nights where we are left disappointed at the end of the night

    Konate was absolute quality. Other than the **** up for the ‘goal’ that wasn’t, he didn’t put a foot wrong. Big and strong, times his tackles well, happy with ball at his feet. Looks like gonna be a mainstay and first choice with vvd next season

    Klopp needs to have a long chat tonight and tell him to open the coffers.

    We have aging players so need young blood to either replace them or give them competition.

    I feel a bit flat. No moments of excitement at all in the whole game. We needed to score early when we were playing our best. Bobby gave us a bit of a lift, should have been on earlier. Still we end the season with two trophies, was hoping I was going to see three tomorrow at the parade. Well done boys, you put in a massive effort in this monster season.

    If the Mane rumours are true it will be forced on us to an extent anyway. Salah has been looking mortal since the turn of the year. Might be temporary or the start of the decline. He's played a lot to be fair. Hardly ever injured.

    Choosing to rebuild utd's different to needing to. We lost, people are over reacting through emotion.

    We do. Our 3 front players are in the last year of their contracts.

    Bobby is now a part time player
    Salah has been poor for months since afcon.
    Mane if reports are true is gone.
    Keita contributes very little as a forward running midfielder. We need a midfielder who can run into the spaces and score goals
    Ox will be gone.

    When Klopp first arrived and we got to the final in 2018 we were a fast transition counter attacking team but were average defensively
    Then we got Virgil and Alisson and we slowed down the counter attacking transition
    This season we have been dominating teams with the pressing but we have also started just tossing it off passing slow and left to right.

    Tonight we played far too slow, to much left to right and had basically nobody running and committing themselves in the box. We should have won tonight with the opportunities we got but the keeper had a blinder

    I’m annoyed we lost, but even winning still doesn’t hide issues in midfield that this side has.

    It's always the same. Best ever when we win, past it when we don't.
    I'll come back in a day or two.

    Cheer up lads, if that had gone to penalties you would almost certainly have won it giving you a treble of Cups.
    A few more penalties in the league and you could have won that too <ok>

    Sucks we didn't win especially since we were the better team but it was a good game to watch anyway. Other than not winning, I have no complaints.

    Real got lucky, got lucky again, and yet again got lucky. You run out of luck after the two penalty shoot out's. Better luck next year Dipper dudes.

    Does make me laugh. We’ve watched out tesm win 2 trophies (one we haven’t won in a decade).

    Tske the title to the last day of the season despite being 14 points behind in January as well as getting to another CL final which we unfortunately lost.

    Only lost 4 games all season (1 of which was a second leg game that had no impact) on the tie

    Weve had many more joyous games and happy days than most other fans of teams.

    Yet apparently we’ve bottled it, had a poor season and players are ****.

    Keane said it best when said you know how far your own team has fallen when your mocking Liverpool for ‘only’ winning 2 trophies this season.

    jealousy eh, funny old thing.

    Just wonder whether going for the quad cost us one of the big ones. After running on empty for so long, maybe we would have had more energy? VVD, Fab, Salah, Tiago, Origi were all injured in the last 10 days.

    Hopefully this gives us extra motivation. Last time we lost the league on the last day, we won it the next season. Last time we lost a CL final, we won it the next season.

    Next year is our year :bandit:
