Superblue_1986 5,330 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) When you lose them it's so incredibly disappointing and you just wish you'd just might as well have been knocked out in an earlier round, especially in this marathon season we've had but finals are regularly about fine margins. We're in an era where there are begrudgingly two phenomenal English teams we're competing for trophies with. In the last 4 seasons we've lost 4 finals across each of them all on penalty shoot outs. It's the finest of margins. But I'd still every day of the week, rather we be reaching these finals and competing in them because there will be ones where those margins do go our way, none more bigger than the Champions League final last year. In a game of very few chances we took ours, City didn't. Keep knocking at the door. Bar this season's Champions League, Tuchel has taken us to every final possible in his tenure, it's an impressive feat which over time will help us collect trophies. The key now is replicating that into the league and getting a consistency across a full season, whilst also remaining competitive in the cup competitions.

They printed this garbage just minutes after the final whistle. Means that this was prepared to publish based on the result. If we had won they would have printed something else. It looks even more dumb because we didn't exactly lose. We just missed the penalty shoot out lottery. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Super Cup, League Cup, and FA Cup. Klopp actually hired neuroscientists onto the club to help them in pens. God knows what we do. Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Armour 3,339 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Also, I hope this is the last time we AVOID wearing Blue in a cup final. IMO this superstitious attitude put us on the back foot especially when facing a gritty side like Pool. When the penalty shootout came, it showed. Allison gathering up the ball to give it to each of our players walking up, while Mendy walking in with his head down. Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, had posted that reply before I had seen your post. And i see your point. 'Lottery' is perhaps not the best description because there is something you can do to improve your odds for a shootout. That being said, losing on penalties is still a harsh way to go. And the article is too harsh considering that it was two penalty loss defeats that denied us trophies this year, when we could have easily won either of those in normal time. Maybe they Pool did their diligence in preparing for everything. But to put them on a pedestal while putting us down simultaneously is outrageous. The article is generic nonsense.

A lotter doesn't exist when you continue to take advantage of the small margins. https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/4665493/jurgen-klopp-dedicates-liverpools-fa-cup-final-shootout-win-to-neuroscience-company Matter of fact, there is a tweet doing the rounds comparing Klopp and Tuchel during the break before penalties, and its's quite an astonishing difference.

Fernando 6,148 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Penalty is a lottery. To me it shows good we get this far with the team with have. Most games against Liverpool has been tied under TT. We need to improve in some areas to take the next step. We did take a major step backward with Lukaku. Please don't give him another season. Link to post Share on other sites
