Its all modern hyperbole and means nothing. Ive always thought that Trevor Sinclair's overhead kick for QPR ( FA Cup match IIRC) takes some beating - edge of the penalty area job.

I agree, I thought they really missed a trick with Brad Friedel...he was only given around thirty games whilst at Liverpool as he couldn’t get past David James and Sander Westerveld I think it was....so he left and went on to prove what a solid reliable keeper he could be...for Blackburn (15 clean sheets in one of his prem league seasons there) Villa and Spurs...

Sweeneys Penalties Posted May 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 6 hours ago, Malago said: Liverpool had a dream run to the final and were totally outclassed by a Madrid side that never got out of 3rd gear. Serouisly how many of Liverpool team will Madrid be queuing up to sign this summer. As for Klopp, that's six cup final defeats in a row which means he's either very unlucky or a serial loser. The goal keeping situation has been an accident waiting to happen and is entirely the managers fault for falling to address it. As for Ramos , World Cup winner, European championship winner and Champions league winner. Best defender and captain of his generation and you were stupid enough to bet against him. A fool and his money. opinion is opinion, and the wise after the event sofa is a very comfortable place to sit My after the event comments are there were three turning points; Salah leaving the Pitch, Bale's wonder goal, and Karius. I'm bored of the "we wuz robbed" comments on social media this morning from Liverpool fans who have entirely forgotten that Liverpool employed one of the biggest hatchet men in history (Tommy Smith) and one of the biggest divers on the planet (Louis Suarez).

Southend Blue Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 They're arguably England's most successful club side but still fun when they get beat in games of this magnitude. As with them and Chelsea, would want any opposition team to beat them in a European Final, although others such as Manchester United and Tottenham (if it were to occur) would feel somewhat indifferent to it. I don't mind them so much as the others. Maybe this year wasn't a great final so to speak and Bales' goal apart, not a game that may live long in the memory, but seeing Liverpool beat in the final of Europe's biggest club competition would probably equate to seeing Bristol Rovers suffer a relegation or losing domestic cup final to your own fans. Am I being too harsh ? Not really, I don't like Liverpool and to all intents and purposes last night's result was entirely satisfactory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 3 hours ago, JonDolman said: I wouldn't say so. If they'd just had someone with pace like Ox to play wide instead of Salah, then I think that would have made all the difference, The defence and midfield all had solid games, as did Mane. Just lacked anyone else up top, as Firminho was awful and Lallana can't take players on now it seems. So are we saying that Lallana proved why he wasn’t included in the World Cup squad last night? Certainly he had zero effect on the game and the tide turned when he came on? Can we also deduce that Liverpool have a weak squad depth, if they have no one with pace to replace any of those front 3? Basically without Salah & Mane, their game plan is shot. Their only attacking option on the bench was Solanke - and he is far from proven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically without Salah & Mane, their game plan is shot. Their only attacking option on the bench was Solanke - and he is far from proven No. Lallana had played 15 minutes in the last 8 weeks and expecting him to come into that game after 25 minutes and have an effect was pushing it to say the very least. The ironic thing is that if he was in the England squad it would benefit him greatly in his recovery. He wouldn't have to play anywhere near that level until the Belgium game in 4 weeks. Southgate didn't pick him because if he had he would have been going against his clear policy of picking in -form players. Lallana had no form, good, bad or mediocre. I can't think of a bigger challenge any player has had as a sub for years. "okay Adam, you're half fit and completely out of practice. Go on there, in the biggest game you've ever been involved in, out of position against the best team in the world and replicate one of the best players in the world" No surprise the game shifted. Madrid became less cautious. Before they didn't want to commit forward because they were scared of being caught on the break. That fear went and at the same time Liverpool's bubble burst somewhat. They did well to get to half time level. 3 people won that game for Madrid. Ramos for nobbling Salah, Karius and Bale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana is really an option in midfield. They need more up top, though Solanke will probably become more and more commonplace in their starting line up. Woodman has potential but it is just that. Ings is not up to that level. He could do a job at somewhere like Burnley ironically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Abuse Karius is getting is not on at all. Bloke was in tears and will be in absolute tatters, if it was me I wouldn't be right for months, even years. Henderson had it right in his post match interview, 'we win as a team, we lose as a team'. Reality is that Karius had been growing in to the role for a few months, I've paid attention to him. He made a freak error that could've happened to anyone, and dropped a howler because making a mistake of that magnitude in the CL final was still playing on his mind I imagine. Would Liverpool have even got to the CL final without Karius this season? Debatable, especially with Mignolet and Danny Ward as backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the Mark Little thing strange. Rugby players pop their shoulders all the time and their shoulders are integral to their sport. They seem to recover fine. Something else was at play with Mark Little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Just read this on the BBC website. An Egyptian lawyer has filed a 1bn euros lawsuit against Sergio Ramos for the challenge which injured Mohamed Salah in the Champions League final. (Evening Standard) That's the way to do it! ...and this one Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart, 31, has switched agents after being left out of England's World Cup squad. (Mail) So it's Joe Hart's agent that is to blame for his poor form over the last couple of seasons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Having suffered a damaged (strained, not dislocated) shoulder myself playing sport, with the best treatment in the world he’ll be very lucky to get back playing football in 6 months frankly. Didn’t feel confident with mine for at least a year and wouldn’t question Mark Little’s recuperation period one bit. If Salah does get back for the World Cup one might start to question how serious it was and whether he was just protecting himself for the World Cup fixtures.
