Ah what a shame, Villarreal can leave the stadium with their heads held high.
Valiant effort to get this far.

I understand that Alisson gets a touch on the ball, and quite a significant one, but if that touch ends up with the ball going in the attacker's preferred direction and past the opponent that he is trying to get past, can you really say that Alisson has "won the ball" from the tackle? He's clearly cleaned Lo Celso out, but he hasn't "won the ball" since the ball has gone past Alisson and would've given Lo Celso a magnificent scoring opportunity if he hadn't been cleaned out.
So it's not a penalty.

Both goals are soft. Should have been saved. Liverpool relying on pure luck yet again.

Sub the cnut keeper off and replace him with an outfielder. At least that way they'll be back to 11 men.

Didn't believe for a second that Villareal were going to pull the comeback off. Oh well.

woeful defending and goalkeeping again. 4 lucky goals for Liverpool in this tie now. Their name is on the trophy.

That first half was a fecking tease.

It’s like putting the tip in and then she says never mind.

Well done Villarreal, incredible run.

The football Gods really have been utter cnuts to us over the past decade. Not sure how I'm able to continue watching the sport.
We’ll be back and put pool back in their box…watch this space

Fecking knew it. The hope is the worst.

Left the room can't stand Liverpool supporting bf screeching over them

Why are we not signing players like Diaz

You just know they're winning the quadruple this Fecking season is hellish

One thing I absolutely hate about the semi-final stage: can't change to another match when it's not the score you want.

Terrible second half tactics. Predictable.

The pressing totally dominated a bewildered liverpool.

Why would you change? At least go at them for another 15 minutes.

Yeah this is why shotstopping is still the single most important thing a goalie needs to be good at. Pass the ball out my ass, save it first you ferking POS.

As a neutral, this way makes for a more interesting final imo.

Filling could go feck himself though :lol:

The fecker could have at least had the courtesy to miss his pen against us.

Game of two halves for Keita. Suddenly finding all the space in the world to play in now.

Because we spent 2 years chasing Sancho instead.

Because they play in a “weak” league according to some.
