Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2018 Mod warning post 9350 and 9421

HandsomeBob

My fear was always about Ramos but never in my wildest dreams did I think he'd get rid of mo without even gaining a yellow within 20 mins. He excelled beyond expectation.

This was muck. From both teams. Don't remember Navas having to do much, and he's a dodgy keeper, you'd have thought Liverpool might have tried to trouble him.

Living up to 2005 was always going to be a stretch.

Klopp should have told the players to try and work the keeper. That's where we went wrong. So obvious now that you mention it.

Be very surprised if that list wasn't drawn up a good while back.

That was disappointing. Shame the 3rd goal went in, the overhead kick was enough to win it. The 3rd just heaped misery on Karius and no matter how annoyed anyone is with him, he'll carry that with him throughout his career.

As soon as Mo was injured we were pushed back and Madrid did what they do, grind out results with moments of individual brilliance. Ramos as much as I hate him, is the ultimate winner. No way was he deliberately trying to injure Salah, but he knew what he was doing. Giving the star man a bit of rough handling, try to make him hesitate the next time they went 1 on 1.

Still lots to be positive about. Successive seasons in the CL for the first time in quite a while and some exciting signings on the way. Too many seasons when we had nothing to play for after March or April so still being interested at the death is great.

Possibly, I gave up posting about 3 or 4 months ago, no particular reason but the forum has become too polarised, no interaction amongst opposing fans is not a good thing for the forum. It always gets petty and tiresome.

I only speak as a neutral and I've always enjoyed the soccer forum but the last few weeks I'm growing tired of opposition fans taking over threads just to post ****e and get thanks for annoying others. Anyway was gutted to see Salah leave the field tonight, thought it killed the game for a period. It wasnt a classic final. Really disappointed in Henderson. As a Liverpool captain I expected him to grab the game by the scruff of the neck but he was so poor. Felt for Karius. Was never good enough for something this big and the first goal most likely killed his confidence. Still a great season for Liverpool and plenty to build on.

As a fan who hates seeing his own fans boo their own players or manager in any circumstance , I was very impressed with the Liverpool’s fans reaching to Karius. It actually was a touch of class.

I wouldn’t be impressed with his team mates reaction or lack of. I might of missed it but he didn’t get too much support from his teammates. Even Jamie carragher went out of his way to offer some support.

Follow the advice of the Liverpool fan - whose post you and others thanked above a week ago - and "suck it up".

Predictable. Btw you and quite a few others behaved like it WAS Utd's 'cup final' tonight. Paul Scholes turned out to be right....;)

The players immediately after the final whistle didn't go over to him but shortly after they did.

As feared the ref fell for Madrids dark arts and gamesmanship but with a keeper like that they did not need him as much tonight

Some amount of sad sacks here tonight. I'm only glad ronaldo played ****e otherwise we'd have a whole other level of ****e posting to wade through. And imagine some of these posters are grown people.
The mind absolutely boggles it does.





Anyway. **** it, nearly did it but in the end the better team won out and despite some bollix acting from one of their players I can't begrudge them the win.
Some goal by Bale.

Thought the back 4 played excellent with some serious stuff by lovern, VVD and robertson. Trent was a bit suspect once or twice but some of the players kept putting him in no win situations. He was extremely unlucky not to have scored though thanks to a top class save.
Milner is some bit of stuff but he was out in his feet by the end.
Henderson I like a lot but sometimes his passing is way too conservative and you can see his teammates being visibly irate at him over his passing choices. Still he couldn't have given any more and that's all you can ask.
Lallana wasn't fit which was a pity.
Bobby pressed well and when Salah was on, Bobby looked like he was going to cause serious problems. Got ****e service though and had to compete with twongood centre backs for a heap of long balls.
Mane is a great bit of stuff. Great to see him over with Salah trying to console him. Wouldn't rise to the baiting and was our best attacher and probably best player. Unlucky not to have scored two.

Karius lost his head a bit which was unfortunate because he looked really sharp prior to that. He had been playing much better recently but I think tonight showed him to be suspect. If someone better becomes available at a decent price, klopp must invest.


Gutted the team lost but it was a great run and it was a ducking delight to be back at the pinnacle of European football.
And as good and all that Madrid were they were helped by two howlers. Better team but Liverpool proved they deserved to be in the final and if Salah had have stayed in who knows.

2 European finals since his been here and two top four finishes, one would have to be mad or an Utd fan to think that Klopp isn't good for Liverpool and that the team are on an upward swing.
That's 2 European finals in 3 years and I know they lost both but there's not many teams that can boast that. Or even one European final in the last decade.

Some more additions to the squad along with Naby and I can see a good season coming up.

A great club to follow. Great to watch and a top ****ing club.

I never say this but next year lads :pac:

Absolutely. Some chose to give the 'You'll Never Walk Alone' song and give support at the worst of times. For others that is just a pretend thing to be rattled out to act like they're part of the culture of a club, and they'll happily jump on a player at the absolute worst of times.


Not a Liverpool fan, but was up for Liverpool, and couldn't be more gutted for Karius. So many people have been doing the whole 'this was to be expected, he is a liability' stuff (RTE love a narrative) but how many big mistakes has he made this season? 2 crazy ones in one game, on a stage like this. Nuts. Poor guy is ruined for life.

Crazy to give Jurgen hassle for losing finals when his team are alway underdogs
Said it for montj Karius worst first choice keeper iv ever seen at Liverpool the guy is horse **** , every game makes a meal of something and got away with it recently but found out tonight he is utter crap

Well Atletico have been in three European Cup finals in five years. Although they won one, the one that United won last year that was written off as mickey mouse competition but was seen as huge when ye were leading Sevilla at half-time the year before.

Only could losing five cup finals in a row could be construed as a positive when the manager is a smiling, hugging oaf with no plan B.

Careful now. Can't be saying that in this thread. You'll be lashed out of it.

Say it on 99% of footballing discussion forums and you will have unanimous agreement that he's not good enough. Even on most Liverpool fan only outlets you will get that consensus.

Not in here. The Liverpool fans on this forum have this bizarre idolization of Henderson. It's so weird. They have a team full of talented players and yet they die on their swords for the one player who is clearly not good enough at this level. He can't even do the one thing he was good at since his injury. He's just shocking.

ThunbergsAreGo

Tonight has been a night of many emotions
I was angry at Karius, pissed off at Ramos angry for Mo etc.

But at the end of the day the biggest feeling is pride, we have played on the greatest stage and fell short, it happens. Many of those lads were immense and more than ever I feel like LFC is a family or a team I can (more than ever) identify with. Robbo and Lovren tackles both imense

Next year, let's get back there, let's make every game as big and as full of colour as Kiev. Klopp has given us something to be immensely proud of.
I love this club

Well conquer all of euhhroooppee.......

Don't think we went negative at all, but we had no pace upfront, allowed Real to push up on us.

If FSG don't stump up.for.a.top keeper now, I don't know.

Sorry, didn't mean players went negative, it was the tactics that went negative by dropping deeper and allowing Madrid to start playing their game.

Looking at the bench pre-game, I thought that losing any of the front 3 leaves us minus an attacker pretty much and as soon as Salah wen't off, it was game over I think. We were brought to our knees in attack, Lallana and Solanke being our only replacements, really not ideal against Real Madrid.

Not only that but we got bad luck too along with the injury. Karius, I'm not even mad. I feel sorry for the guy.. but I think sell Mig and keep K as no. 2. He made some good saves but not yet capable of the biggest nights. Bales goal was unstoppable.

Eitherway, you win some, you lose some. It's experience and hopefully next year we give it such a challenge again!! We need a few more players, big time!

In summary, and maybe this is down to age, but I am less inclined to get caught up in the good feeling that is resulting from the tremendous attacking football that we play. I do believe in Klopp and there has been - albeit just about - enough progress in 24 plus months for me to fully support him. He doesn't automatically get a pass though as we have still fallen short when it really counts. I am conscious of appearing harsh but winning competitions is what it is really about.

How many touches did Salah have before he went off?

Next to nothing.

That's the reality.

Hard to swallow I'm sure but it is what it is.

Zidane had it clocked from the get go.

Once again Klopp showed his naivety.

His success / wins comes from the press, against Porto, City and Roma the early onslaught worked.

HE didn't go for it tonight and ye were humbled.

Real had done absolutely nothing before Salah went off though. Liverpool were the better team. Game very evidently flipped on it's head after that.

Liverpool dropped deeper as if they were a goal up and had to defend a lead. It was mental, but understandable I suppose. Massive loss both in talent and psychologically.

Had ýou boys done anything either, or attempted anything?

Before he went off he'd barely had a sniff, Real were never under any real pressure before or after.
