Callum, for goodness sake…

Why would you allow a ref from like a 15th tier league referee a goddamn final like this? This is a joke.

LOOK AT THAT! HOW IS THAT A FOUL???

This ref is a joke, btw. Every tiny little contact is given a foul.

In complete control and looking far more likely to dominate the rest of the game and then that.

Un-fucking-real. Totally incidental handball. Utterly ridiculous.

We’d be out of sight right now if our front players could control the ball around the box.

CHO 1v1 again and fails. Then puts in a pathetic cross. Just take him off, for fucks sake.

They’re the sort of team you need highly aggressive, highly mobile forwards so you can shift their bus around. A team like Liverpool for example with the movement of Salah, Mané, and Jota would be ripping these apart. But Lukaku is like a giant oak tree that’s rooted in place, CHO looks like a player who lost 3 steps since that bad injury, and Havertz struggles when he’s got 2-3 people right on top of him because the bus is parked around him.

Our line is so high because they’re playing so deep that they look dangerous every time they spring a counter. They’ve been clean through several times now. I feel like if we don’t score first they’ll catch us on the break and win. Because they’re obviously experts at sitting deep and parking the bus. And with our total lack of scoring threat it’s hard to see us coming back.

Also doesn’t help that we don’t have 1 single player who can shoot from range. We left Ziyech in the bench for some reason.

They look pretty dangerous when they get it around our box but other than that we are dominating in every other area of the pitch. We just can’t break down their compact defense. We’re getting it in dangerous areas repeatedly but fail at the last touch.

Long ball after long ball after long ball. Their approach play is better than ours… Oh, and look, CHO out on an island in acres of space and can’t beat his man. AGAIN. That is a wingers dream and he fails almost every time recently.

So frustrating that none of Mount, Havertz, or Lukaku can consistently control the damn ball when it’s played into them. Ffs…

Palmeiras strategy of letting Thiago Silva have the ball for 90% of the time and closely man marking everyone else is working because we’re playing so slowly. They’re forcing us to totally bypass our midfield and go long repeatedly to Lukaku, Mount, and Havertz.

That may be true but…imagine having that name 😂😂😂 He’ll score against us now, watch.

Will CHO be able to run past a man 1v1 today? Will he be able to cross the ball before running it out of play for a goal kick? He hasn’t been able to recently… 🙄 Palmeiras actually have a dude named Dudu. 💩💩💩

United are genuinely, shockingly bad. With maybe the highest or second highest paid squad in world football. It’s mad. And hilarious. I really did think they would be real title contenders when they signed Sancho, Varane, and CR7. They desperately need a CM and a top class manager who is given a whole summer to train them. Also, think it’s time for them to admit that Harry Maguire is one of the worst buys ever.

Lukaku hat trick incoming. 😂😂😂

Just reading quotes and interviews from various players and coaches at the club over the last few days leading up to the final it seems as though they realize how big of a deal this trophy would be. So that’s been good to see. That hopefully means we won’t see a lazy performance and our players don’t think it’s a formality because we’re the bigger club. Maybe we’ll see a coherent attacking performance today.

Yeah, I remember him being subbed but I thought it was tactical. Anyway, I think I prefer Kante and Kova anyways.

Did I fall asleep during that dreadful Al Hilal performance and miss him getting injured?

Think Tuchel has a major headache here with his midfield selection. Does he go with Kante and Kova or Kante and J5? Do we expect a game where they’ll try to press the hell out of us and be super aggressive? In which case leaving Jorginho on the bench might be wise. Or will this be a match where we’ll have 70% of the ball? Kind of hard to imagine a player like Jorgi who is super trusted in finals being benched. But how can you leave Kova out when he’s been awesome for much of the season? And Kante is our best player so he has to start, too. Don’t envy TT picking the team. No point hoping for a change in attack because God knows Lukaku is starting. 😂

Like, as a Liverpool supporter it’s got to be awesome to go into every single match knowing you’ve got 3-4 killers in your attack who can score in so many different ways. You can be extremely confident that no opponent in world football is likely to stop you from scoring. I kind of felt like that early this season when we had RJ and Chilly flying, but now we can’t even be confident that we can score 1 goal. We have no idea whether we’ll get lucky and Havertz/Werner/CHO/Pulisic/Lukaku will have their once a month great game.

Must be nice to be like Liverpool where seemingly every one of their attacking signings turns into an awesome player. Mané, Salah, Firmino, Jota, Diaz looks nice already. They’ve had a couple of duds ( Shaqiri, Monamino, Origi) but overall they’ve made us look like clueless amateurs.
