St1pe

Considering he was out of position against the best player in the league that is a proper “I’m him” performance

Lads. Can’t believe how this feels. Get the statues made.

Not actually watching this last 5

Fine I’ll absolutely shit myself then

Neeeeek Pope

Gooooooooooooaaaallll

Neville is such a fucking rat

Not winning would always just feel fucking shit regardless of the circumstances

Deserved that. Couldn’t have been from a better bloke either. Liverpool won’t be as toothless in the second half. We need to figure out a way to get the ball to Barnes around the box because he looks clear of anyone else in terms of threat. Need more from Bruno and Murphy as Isak has been starved. Livra and Big Joe have been unreal. It’s the hope that kills you.

That looked exactly like the type of soft penalty Liverpool get.

Decent start by us

Also a bit of a plea here. Any chance we can just not be negative bastards in the match thread regardless of what’s happening. Fair enough if we’re like 3-0 down after 15 minutes but if we’re in with a fighting chance let’s not moan every wrong pass. Straight back to it at the weekend but a bit of hope for the final would be nice.

Lads, of all days. Please. Please don’t concede early. I’m literally begging.

Barnes can surely get at Quansah.

Thought it was harsh on Dubravka after Howe called him his cup keeper or something the other week. It’s a final though and we can’t take any chances. Hope Pope doesn’t have a stinker

Allison not playing is potentially good news

I’m suffering now I wonder if Liverpool fans even care that much. Just let us have this one man.

Need this lad to find some corners today like he’s more than capable of.

Head says no chance. I’m actually surprisingly calm today - probably due to the low expectation. We’ve beaten good teams before though and anything is possible. I can’t even imagine what it’d be like to win today.

I hope that’s not “miles better than Howe” Iraola with 3 losses and a draw in their last 4 games.

C - potential to be a B again. Never gonna be an Isak, Bruno, Tonali, Botman but has the tools to be a first team player if he can stay fit. If we get into Europe he could be really useful to keep hold of.

More chuffed about this than I expected

I suppose if Tuchel is looking for a left footed cb there isn’t a huge pool to choose from. I’d take him over Dunk, Mings and probably even the current Colwill. I’ll still be surprised to see him picked though.

A fickle yes from me.

I didn’t see the game last night but just watched the extended highlights. I can’t imagine how stressful it must have been on here in those final minutes when Murphy and Longstaff were giving those simple passes away
