Pity they had to.

Brilliant first half,
a bit nervous at times in the 2nd half
hopefully this rattles Pep and he loses the plot for the remaining games of the season

Brighton just seems to be coming back to form. The match certainly might be a lot closer than what it would be had it not been postponed.
As fantastic as the first half was, the second half highlighted why I would not want to face City in the CL Final if we get that far. The second half was really uncomfortable at times and with better finishing City could have equalized.
Of course, if Mo had been his old self then the last five minutes wouldnât have happened as we wouldâve killed them off.

The apology was for âsomeâ fansâ behaviour , suggesting it was a small minority. It most definitely wasnât.

I thought pre-match weâd have it wrapped up by 60â. 3-1 really should have been enough for that. We had to hang on, but relief all round. Bring on another final.

We could have gone further ahead on at least two occasions as well.

I liked our bravery with the ball in the first half. Obvious tactics from us was to get Ali to pass out in the middle to Fab/Thiago who have couple of Many City shirts around them. They would either knock it back to Ali to spread wide with the space opened, or Thiago would drop his shoulder and do a 180.
Also, Klopp had TAA stay back a lot, as Pep wanted to float those long balls from Sila to behind TAA, but as he didnât venture forward to much, they couldnât do it.
Of course, teh front three led the press really well - Klopp is saying the best weâve played. Enjoyed that.

Agree about Salah , heâs become a passenger. It might be better using him as an impact sub til he gets his mojo back.

I am exhausted. What a match and what a result! So proud of the boys more than anything for their unity and desire.
Mane, Keita, Thiago, Fab; Just unplayable. May have been one of Nabyâs top 3 performances in a Liverpool shirt. At both ends of the pitch he was unbelievable.
City kicked the shit out of Diaz all match as if he insulted their families. Seemed oddly personal toward him.

Oh my fucking god. Now the excuse is we had more time prepareâŠwell not prepare but rest players. And then refusing to acknowledge that we made few changes from the midweek.

Listen I think he had a very poor game today and his decision making was probably the worst Iâve ever seen it, but I think he is still a potential threat that should start if fit. Weâve seen this sort of stutter from him in previous seasons and I think itâs important to play him through it.

Mané for MotM. Our midfield were also fantastic but Sadio just looked joyous today.
Weâll find out who we get in the final tomorrow. My preference would be Palace mainly because we have already played Chelsea in a final this season but als because I remember that season they knocked us out in the semis. It would be great to see a rerun of that (but with a different result).
Anyway, another cup final to look forward to. Iâm in my happy place.

It was a tactic. A Sunday league tactic where when the past-it players know this younger player has loads of technique and will destroy them. Disgusting.
I was pleased none of the goals were particularly controversial, but city should have been down to ten. Then again, we could easily have had another couple of goals even so.
I donât think Mo had a horrible game but he clearly is desperate to score and isnât quite on form with his finishing â before December that shot towards the end wouldâve been top corner rather than straight at Steffen.

City were lucky to still have eleven men on the pitch.
The scoreline flatters them enormously.

The gem from fuckface Keown was him mentioning how City were resting players for this game and playing a second keeper, then mentioning how City stood a chance given that Liverpool drew 3-3 midweek , forgetting to mention it was because we rested all our players!
What I wouldnât give to now see us do the quad and put these Liverpool hating (or humans rights abusers,-loving) commentators in their place.

So, with the FA continuing to fuck over their own premier asset and playing the final before the final game of the league seaosn, we now need to find a new date for the Southampton game.
I think itâs fair to say this may be the reason the quad has never been doneâŠ
âŠYet.
But I agree itâs something that could be done after the PL season completes.
I know what youâre saying , but at this critical time we canât afford to be spurning chances or throwing promising situations away because of poor decision making ,and thatâs what heâs been doing now for months. It canât be about whatâs best for him , itâs whatâs best for the team.

The only date available is the midweek between the final and Wolves on the final day
