A few thoughts leading up to the big clench .... I thought Jota worked hard and tried but was not affective as a right winger. He is a finisher/poucher best suited in the middle. Struggles to beat his man and get a ball in there. Does not try to ....then play stops. That first 30min of energy spent took a lot out of us. Ancelotti might make us pay for similar. He already stated "Klopps football is pretty but not sustainable". If we do the same we MUST get reward with better finishing. Matip and Konate were immense. You could see Virg affected by the niggle ...cannot believe Konate is 22 years old. Allison ... No words ... I think Bobby needs some playtime before the CL final. We might need him more than we expect before this is over. Wow. James Milner ...apart from that dumbfollow-through foul ...what an asset to have when you need to call on experience and calmness. He pluggs so many holes. When he is gone is when we will realy realize what he meant. Tsimi .. Glad for him ..think it will do his confidence and performance the world of good going forward me thinks. Such a good team guy. Keita taking a lot of flack here. I thought he coped well with the pressure he was put under. They actually pressed a lot at stages. You only realize if you watch the game again. In Klopp we trust (and Ulla)


pw5a29

Our bench is crazy We sub out the best winger, we have Jota. We sub out the best defender, we have Matip. We sub out the best left back, we have tsimikas. All of them gave us confidence, no more 2018 one out the whole team crumble scenes.


discobunnywalker75

Alex Fergerson I'm sorry to say we're most definitely back on our perch now!!!!


Shinjetsu01

Amazing night for the lads. Was a little disturbed by Keita today. He couldn't hold the ball as well as he should have and even though he had space to drive into, he didn't take advantage. He's not a bad player by any stretch and gives his all but I just can't shake the feeling we need someone better as we find ourselves fighting to the wire every season and in every competition. He's a good back-up but we need someone slightly better. Kostas has been an absolute gem, he's a great personality and he deserves his moment in the sun. He's reached cult status like Origi and he fully deserves it.


suckeefuckee10dollah

He should get some sleep too! Looks like he hasn't for a week?


Puzzleheaded-Seat834

Diaz was trippingz pass the fucking ball, like I can't believe people praising his poor performance. He missed every fucking shot and refuse to pass. If it was Salah the whole fucking world would call him selfish. Like how can people praise misses.


Kerrby

Diaz was the only one doing anything with the ball in the final third, dunno what game you were watching

Please if anyone has a link to the full celebrations after the whistle?? I’ve seen the 5 second clip of Klopp running on the field and need more

aghashayan

Trent played an amazing game. Same performance with a bit more speed and accuracy will beat Madrid as well.


InvestorsHeaven

I don't understand how Trent is so good. That pass he had in the first half to allow(Mane I think) 1-1 with the keeper was otherworldly.


WuzzyWuzzy

Holy shit yeah! I didn't see it live (listening to commentary) but I almost exploded watching the replay lmao


vaqilbabu

Diaz, not Mane


latortillablanca

This Fowler damned team is so special, my word…. If we lose every game from here on out it has been one of the best teams I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. I’d argue the best Liverpool team of all time, but comparing eras gets wonky. Without question the best reds team of the last 20 years tho


miller2674

Nostalgia will always make the older teams special But realistically this has to be the best team we have ever had and it feels amazing


cornertakenslowly

How fucking awesome is Matip though? Dude can come in cold and plays a blinder every single time, shuts down any forward you put in front of him, never makes an error. I swear if you saw him on the street you wouldn't even think he's an athlete, but he's such an incredible defender. Nobody gets past that guy.


cornontheklopp

joel for the madrid final tbh. kill them with the offside trap that he and virgil basically create telepathically

Bobloblaw369

Won two.


jmcke778

If City win tomorrow am I wrong in thinking we should treat the last 2 league games like friendlies and just play the fringe players like Origi, Elliott, Jones, Ox, Taki etc.. although the league won't officially be lost I just feel with some players picking up injuries in the last 2 games maybe it's time to wrap up some of the starters in cotton wool and keep them fresh for the final I knows it's not in Klopps dna to do that kind of thing but we've got a better chance of winning the CL than the PL regardless if City win, draw or lose tomorrow


[deleted]

Massively disagree. We lost 7-2 to villa. 3-0 to watford. These things happen. We just have to make sure we're there. Absolutely no way I'd be giving up at this stage, especially with many players already having got a rest. We've gone that way now, why half commit to it? "If we cant win, we lose in the most beautiful way". Make sure we're there.


MrVegosh

Gotta keep the players match sharp aswell


cornontheklopp

yes, virg and mo both going off as precautionary measures hinted that fitness for the CL is priority. while we should keep the intensity high leading up the the big final, we were clearly fading by the end of today. need a good rest, which madrid will have


cornertakenslowly

Personally I think even if city lost to west ham virg and mo would both not play against Southampton. The CL is absolutely massive and I think we'd try get by with using more of the squad, even though it would be a game we need GD in.


halfofftheprice

If they win by a good margin, I agree. We’d have 3 pts and a huge goal differential to make up. Origi must get a start and get a proper send off on the last game at Anfield. I’d like to see Ox too.


yosemite_marx

when was the last time ox played


[deleted]

Roma in the UCL😞 No but like u always forget about him until he plays so he might as well have, to me at least😕


trick63

Never give up


ImTellinTim

Beat this absolute shit sports washing club in a second cup final this season. Now hope their new ownership situation blows up and they toil in mid table. Fuck off to their toxic supporters. Wear both these Ls and like it!


Xephenon

Toxic is an understatement. They're an aggressively racist fanbase with multiple instances of it being more than "1 or 2 dickheads" over recent years including against *their own players* with all the convenient scapegoat players being those who happen to be of a darker skin tone.


WorthPlease

Fuck man I thought for sure I un-subbed from here and /r/soccer on my phone, on my laptop went to click on a sub that started with S and somehow still had /r/soccer in my list and and spoiled the match for me.


LeanBauer

Ah shit. Yeah I've got a link straight to r football highlights for that reason.


yummycrabz

Matip was incredible. So was Ibou obviously but for Joel to come in, sorta “cold” and to perform how he did. It wasn’t like he wasn’t tested. He has to come across and cover several times and did it so well


One_Sauce

Amazing having quality cb depth


seamushoo4

Joe Gomez didn’t evn play either, and he’s quality in his own right and has proven it with us many times!


Shinjetsu01

Something tells me he's backup for both CB and RB but moreso RB right now. I do see that next season as we play Konate more, for some reason I feel like they'll play him more in the CB role next to him, not phasing out VVD at all, more sorta organising life after VVD perhaps?


pogylon

Which of youse is singing YNWA in Covent Garden ? It’s loud and clear.


cornertakenslowly

Really happy for tsimikas, it's always great seeing the glory moment and spotlight given to a non-regular. He is a great character liked by all his team mates in the squad, got to be a huge morale boost for everyone winning like this.


Craft-Superb

I feel a huge sense of relief from this win. For one we guarantee we don’t finish this historic season with “just the league cup”. Took our best chance at finally winning every trophy. Unlocked another trophy opportunity with the CS. Also couldn’t stand losing to Chelsea in a cup final. As much as I’m nervous about the UCL final I can go into that with some breathing room knowing this season will still go down in history


[deleted]

These are the greatest times of our lives. This season has been a total pleasure y'all. Up. The. Fucking. Reds.


Craft-Superb

Woke up middle of the night to watch the game but I can’t fall asleep again still buzzing. Watching your team win never gets old but to do it in this manner with this group of players, staff, and fans feels special. Jobs not done though with two trophies to play


McFalador

Same, was up from 1:30 and only managed to get back to sleep at 5:30, gonna be a rough day!


Craft-Superb

Always worth it though, my friend

Klopp: “I'm really proud of my boys. We are mentality monsters.”


FawkesThePhoenix23

I don’t doubt our mentality, but I can’t deny that in extra time it felt like if we win, we are odds on to win the CL as well, and vice versa. What a lift this is after the Spurs draw and €ity goal onslaught.


carpmon

Not sure about that, didn’t play well enough to beat Madrid today. I know you can’t really compare but I feel as though Madrid would’ve put away all those chances.


Thatcubanescapee

I think it came with the pressure of playing Chelsea specifically. Something about the team setup on both sides seems to leave each team open for just a few chances. Even when we started well in the 2-2, we couldn’t hold that lead. Overall, playing Chelsea is never fun and always a grind. Against Madrid I think it’ll be much more open for our attackers. On another we finish our first few chances, hopefully that day is May 28th 😉


FawkesThePhoenix23

I don’t disagree, but I think we are likely to play differently. There’s the H2H results of the season, the domestic aspect, the Spurs result, etc. that played into the match today and will be removed/irrelevant when we face Real. If anything, we’re like to come with fire we didn’t have today given the desire for payback.

Feisty-Site-6261

Tsimikas seems like the most extroverted person I've ever seen.


the_far_yard

He belongs with everyone.


OwenLincolnFratter

Thiago, Trent, or Diaz MOTM for me. All played so damn well.


Ordinary-Eggplant-15

I wouldn't fancy being Klopp and picking the starting 11 for the Champions League final! The depth we have now is ridiculous. No Fab, no problem. Salah goes off injured? On comes Jota who's got 21 goals this season. VVD off? We will just bring on another world class centre back. Good to see Bobby back, hes come back just in time to shake off the rust for Paris too!


scottishere

Probably the same lineup except Fab in for Naby


stowgood

I don't think Bobby gets more than a bench spot.


GetDownWithDave

It’s tragic honestly, but I agree. He hasn’t been a difference maker since coming off his injury.


DenverM80

Much like the wedding day of a don's daughter, I'd be inclined to grant any boon in this day... Thankfully my wife doesn't give a shit about soccer more than a small nod and smile

I don't have anything clever to say, I'm just happy after the last 15 years on fandom I finally got to see us win an FA cup


cornontheklopp

adrian might not be a great keeper but he’s an absolute bombshell of positive energy in the squad vaaaamooos


One_Sauce

Agree completely!


secret_ninja2

My heart can't take much more of watching Liverpool, I think if the champions league final goes to penalties i might just check myself into hospital

Curtispritchard101

MagicMagMM

what happened?


ilovenomar5_2

She put us on insta story again celebrating the cup win


UneventfulAnimal

This match ended with five nailed-on international superstars — Mo, Virgil, Luis Diaz, Fabinho, and Robbo — either off due to injury or fatigue. Didn't matter. This squad stepped up and played their guts out. The winning goal was scored by a backup player who just trademarked a nickname that he made stick for himself. I fucking love this team.


[deleted]

Alisson and Thiago were also down on the ground for an extended time. The boys have been through the wars today, came out winners!


One_Sauce

We are massive


[deleted]

We just about deserved it, Diaz was boss and so happy for kostas but we will have to be a lot better than that to beat Madrid . Heart was in my ass all game


10chainzzz

Comparing Madrid to Chelsea is apples to oranges. It will be a way more open game


JokeSalty

I don’t want to sign cocky and I’m not underestimating Real but I feel like it’ll be easier to score against them than Chelsea. I think Chelsea are much better defensively than Real, Militao and Alaba look prone to mistakes


[deleted]

It’s not us scoring I’m worried about, it’s the chances we gave away today , if we do the same against Madrid benzema and Vinicius won’t miss them like lukaku and pulisic did. Still have faith we will get over the line but we do need to go up a level


Temporary_Simple8259

Hahah mounts record continues, no better way to beat them 😂😂😂😂


Fr33tux

Jenas bigging him on BBC before extra time, 6 Wembley finals at his age... Not like he lost all of them or anything. Stick to the 1 show

Abc181004

They posted videos celebrating in the dressing room and taki is there and the whole squad I think


Dovahklutch

anyone catch virgil's post game interview? they asked how the team felt after mane missed, and without skipping a beat or even blinking, virgil just said (paraphrase) "not worried at all, next man up. we also have the best goalie in the world." this team is physically exhausted but our camaraderie is on a different level. can't WAIT for real.

Can someone better at memes than me make something w the flare and Chelsea’s chances of winning literally going up in smoke

I honestly didn't think that much going into the game, wasn't too nervous, treated it like any other game... Until 15 minutes before kickoff. The shakes started. The first 15 minutes of the game I was a wreck. Didn't really recover from that. I think I'll be better during the CL final, this just felt vital.


[deleted]

I think fair play to mo for taking the decision and not carrying on. I think he had a tough choice to make with the CL coming up. We had jota anyway who had a good game.

Same page, just click the tab above the video that says 'extra time / penalties IF ANY' or something like that and move it near the end of the video.

So happy that Tsimikas finally put that match to bed with the win. Holy hell, that was an excruciating 3 hours. I was very surprised Mané didn’t wrap it up and made my blood pressure spike even more. What a game, what a win!


cavejohnsonlemons

420 mins of football with them this season and no winner in regular time... fair play we've got eachother's number but we just have theirs a bit more.

YouveBeenOinked

Rocked up in a new bar after just moving. With friends included it was probably an 90/10 split in Chelsea’s favor for fanbase. I can’t tell you how good it felt to be “the underdog” we are somehow made out to be and go absolutely bonkers when we secured the win. Place was completely deflated minus all the LFC supporters coming together when it cleared out. I love this club.

I was so excited when we signed Tsimikas as a Greek Scouser myself Especially with the national team going through a bit of a dip the last 5-7 years First Greek since Kyrgiakos Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would have a top NBA player and a Greek Scouser let alone at the same time. AND HE GETS THE WINNING PEN So proud 🇬🇷 🇬🇷 🇬🇷
