But completely justified. This team simply wont overcome the dippers. It wouldnt be that big a deal if we didnt have the albatross of 70 years and the prospect of six cup final losses in a row to contend with. Losing to this Liverpool side on ability alone isn't a deal breaker.

 

I understand the logic but fuck it's a miserable way to be. The team isn't incapable of winning the game. It's not a foregone conclusion by any means.

Have to disagree. This team is not capable of beating the most in-form team in Europe in a crunch cup final. It really is a foregone conclusion for me.

Some of our leaders couldn't even up their game when we needed it against Brighton today. The malaise at times was wild. We have a hugely damaging mental block now and public perception that we are inconsistent bottlers that only turn up when bothered. Hope Eddie can use that as motivation and the players react.

 

We have had some great performances against teams like Arsenal. It's in us but too often we roll over.

 

Gordon is a big loss but losing Isak would be a game ender.

Nope. I might not even watch it on the TV to be honest. [emoji38] The prospect of watching Scouse rats celebrating another stroll in the park makes me feel queasy.

We absolutely do have a chance of winning the final, ridiculous to think otherwise. Of course they are favourites but anything can happen and if everyone is fit and we turn up then who knows. We have no expectations of winning so let’s go for it!

I'm going to get back to being more positive after today, but.... this really had the feeling of we can do this, but we need everyone firing on, and a bit of luck. To then basically voluntarily go and fuck our best team with stupidity has me so down. From tomorrow I'll be Harvey Barnes's Silverware Army.

From memory barely a third of his body was offside. In 99.99999999999% of all football matches in the history of time, we've won. Apparently the sport was wrong until a few seasons back though.

 

Yep, they're doubling down with the semi-auto tech too.

 

They're trying to make football as supporter unfriendly as they can on and off the pitch it seems.

Offside is offside though 

 

It is, I have no arguments with that.

 

But I can't imagine when offside was brought in, it was ever envisaged that an "unfair advantage" would be a player leaning his upper body a couple of CMs past the other side of the last defender.
