Really poor from us tonight. I know it’s been a long season, some players were half fit, etc. However the game was there for the taking all night and we just couldn’t muster the character to go and win it. Really disappointing. On the other hand, well down to he lads for making this final, it was an emotional rollercoaster getting there

Players let the club down, they were scared and Eriksen and Alli didn’t turn up. Wholesale changes needed and wouldn’t be surprised to see Poch walk now, can’t compete when it matters because he can’t buy the players with the balls to play

these guys have let nobody down - unless you were expecting to win the champions league. yes they may not have been good enough tonight, but i bet you weren’t complaining when the same bunch got us here.

Juventus been waiting 3 weeks to announce a manager. Makes me think they're waiting for Poch. Worried for this summer, just don't think Levy is interested in winning. It's business.

Starting to remember why I avoided this place for a year.

Poch was always gonna face questions over the starting lineup if he lost, dammed if he did and dammed if he didn't.

The lineup doesn't bother me. More concerned by the pedestrian possession and passes back to Lloris.

This season
This champions league run
This game
Can’t get my head around it
Never would have believed I’d see us in a champions league final
And that I would feel gutted cos if we had played to 80% of our ability
We would have won the whole damn thing

This squad needs a massive refresh but I seriously doubt it will come. Same old excuses will be trotted out at the ned of the window...but but we tried just no-one who Poch wanted who could improve the squad

We will get a refresh, I hope the stupid boring moaning about buying no-one goes away this summer.

Absolutely gutted as I grew up with Liverpool fans and they have been horrible people. Proud of our boys and fans. We go again next season.
COYS ❤️

People are missing the point about the penalty Sissiko's arm wasn't in an unnatural position it was outstretched giving instructions, he didn't move towards the ball and it didn't hit his arm accidentally and Sadio Mane didn't try to cross the ball he took deliberate aim at Sissoko's arm knowing that if he hit it he'd get a penalty irrespective of anything else because that is the law now and that is exactly what people said would happen and make no mistake it will become a feature of the game and in a few years they will start to question the rule.
Exactly right. I said the same to my sons.

3 week break did not help. Killed the tempo of the match. Almost pedestrian .

If you can't play at a tempo after a 3 week break what chance do you have? They played benfica in a match we played stupid mind games. Is kane fit? Will he play? Did he play? In my opinion we should have went all in as we had nothing to lose anyway

I'm really surprised so many feel that we "dominated" this match and were "the better team". I mean really? The only reason we had more possession is because Liverpool let us have it. They didn't need to score and probably knew we would struggle to create chances from open play against a packed defence.

We could have done so much more in this match. I'm proud we got to the final and the we way we did it. But I can't say I'm proud of how we executed this match.

End of an era

Thank you for the memories in past 2 months and past 4 years.

A little tragic levy, poch and players will have nothing to show for it.

Unfortunately our current senior management wont change. Not sure we will get another night like this again. Money has ruined the beautiful game :cry:

You got some statistical evidence to back that up?

Fed up of getting so close and not being able to push it over the line, time and time again. Need to invest now, Poch deserves that at least, but he should never have started Kane tonight, he is always way off when he comes back and today was no different. Missed first half so missed penalty but from the sounds of it we did a lot of plodding there too.

Proper gutted.
