[EL] Sevilla (N) - Post Match

[Muddled]

Doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would. Was a nice to have rather than a must. Buys Klopp some time to have the clearout and no European football might give us a better run at the League and maybe a domestic cup run. Gutted but not without belief for next season. We still have Klopp and he'll be ****ing fuming about tonight's second half performance... which can only be a good thing.

I'm clinging to that trail of thought.

However, it was a massive game; the promise of Champions League football to potential new recruits, the cash, the first trophy ... we've fluffed it.

Pathetic.

We have some proper bags of **** in this side.

Special mention to Coutinho. What a absolutely dire performance from him.

That ref is a disgrace too. Three clear handballs in the box, not one given. Foul after foul called against us, **** all for them.

Decent summary that mate.

It looked like the occasion sapped a lot of energy from our players and they couldn't handle it. We didn't look all that convincing for much of the first half, despite ending it a goal up, and when they scored we just looked like we were treading water and could do absolutely nothing about it.

Then they need ****ing off. No one playing for Liverpool should let the occasion of a final get the better of them. What that now 3 finals on the trot we have lost.

I heard on the TV3 coverage that Moreno was high-fiving Seville players at HT

Pretty much sums it all up for me. Esp as we also get a player booked who doesn't even play. I bet John Henry is glad Linda didn't get sent off.

One positive from tonight....Jurgen has some very easy decisions to make now and won't give a **** telling the bags of ****e they can go

[Phoenix07]

Anyone think Henderson would have made much difference?

Personally, I think we need a top quality Hendo replacement as a priority.

I think I mentioned it in the Zielinski thread, I think we'll sell Henderson to finance a quality central midfielder like Neves. Look at Alonso when we signed him. He was a playmaker who also had exceptional positioning on the pitch when we defended, which made up for his pace.

The pitchforks are out I see

Bollocks. Absolute bollocks.

You can tell all that from 26 seconds?

Bollocks.

Why bother responding to him, Mudds?

How we can show so much fight against Dortmund, the second leg against Villarreal, pull Chelsea and City apart, stick six past Southampton and Villa and then not even turn up tonight for our biggest game in however many years I'll never know.

Terrible referee. Moreno was a shambles. Our midfield overrun, our forward line isolated and such a lack of fight.

I think it's going out with a whimper which hurts the most. I can stomach losing if we try but I can't stomach a lack of effort.

[Darkon]

We got our goal from a bit of individual brilliance, never did we look like we were in total control, right from the start.

It's hard to argue that we wern't in full control in the first half. We kept Sevilla from chances and created some ourselves. We just (again) didn't finish the game when we had the chance and so we find ourselves in this ****ty situation now. Second half was just one big cluster**** on our part and nothing outside of Toure worked in that half.

Disappointing and a shame we couldn't get a positive ending to the season.

[Exiled_red]

The problem with our team is we have too many players who only contribute when they are playing well, when they aren't playing well they are annonymous

[Leyton388]

On that performance tonight I would sell Coutinho if we manage to get Gotze in. Absolute zero impact in our biggest game of the season.

Ridiculous isn't it

[CanadianRed]

Gutted. Should have had two or three pens in the first half. Would have been done and dusted. Moreno gifted them their first and we totally collapsed. Shocking. No spine, no midfield. Moreno cannot be back next season, obviously. But there needs to be a complete overhaul. We need leadership in midfield, someone who can grab hold of the ball and use it. I think Klopp thinks that is Can, but I'm not sure.
