Cursed

[peekay]

Maybe that's the case. But the fact is the lack of depth cost us today on one of the biggest stages in football. There won't be many better chances to win the CL than we had today. Maybe we'll get back there next season, maybe it will be another 11 years no one knows. Under Rafa we had much better teams than we had in 2005 but we never won it again. Now I know none of us expected in January to be in the CL final this year, but that'should part of my point you never know what's going to happen. You could argue that being efficient has cost us our best chance at CL for years.

For me selling Coutinho and not replacing him was one hell of a gamble at the time I thought we were gambling with 4th spot, fortunately I was wrong and we qualified. But that being the case it was still very tight and I was not happy taking the risk or with the way the situation was handled. I don't want to go out and buy someone just for the sake of it I want us to get the right players in and improve the but we can't just play the long game in and be happy with 4th place in the mean time, we need to be competitive every year

I was pissed of the fact that we did not replace Coutinho too but I think that is more to do with Klopp than others. Klopp is very careful with his purchases and has an innate sense of the value of a player which he is reluctant to budge from. From some of the newspaper articles, he had to be persuaded to spend 75 million on Van Dijk also by our owners. Our signings appear spot on for the most case because of Klopp's principles. The negative side of that is that we do not appear that aggressive in the transfer market. We have to accept the negatives with the positives.

We arent cursed.

We get to support our team in champions league finals. Something 95% of football fans will never do.

Speak to a supporter of a League 1 team and try convincing them we are cursed.

I think I stated we obviously aren't really cursed. However it does feel someone has it in for us by getting so close to doing something mega before the rug is always pulled away. We nearly win our first title for Gerrard to slip which I've never seen the like of and then last night the best player in the world gets injured early doors and your keeper gives away the worst goal in the history of the competition.

It's the being so close that hurts more than just being average. It's like the footballing gods want us to suffer.

If you feel different. Great. Good luck to you. I feel sick to the core today. Nothing will lift my spirits for a good few days or weeks.

It’s the hope that kills you for sure.

This is Klopps team now, and they have only really been together as a core group for one season. The lessons they will learn from the hurt last night will be huge and will make them mentally tougher. We will be stronger next season.

We just have to dust ourselves down and go again. That’s sport.

Came too early this final I reckon. It may well work out for the best though, new keeper etc. I reckon they'll be stronger for this. We weren't beaten out of sight, just by mistakes

It's never too early to be in a cup final and this is our third in 3 seasons, it's not like it was a new experience for us.

[ronanm]

Anything that could go wrong did. Bizarre game. Madrid weren't that good but I did fear bale would run amok. No reason we can't get back into it next year. Need about 4 first team players tho.

[Tee]

That Madrid team was there for the taking, really nothing special anymore and had Salah stayed on I am convinced we would have beaten them before Loris could **** things up

I was meaning expectations wise

[danperkins]

I was meaning expectations wise

was my main concern coming into the game. In saying that we looked much the better side until the Salah injury & then Karius kicked in. We have zero luck.
