Still buzzing after this game. The absolute rollercoaster of emotions. I remember thinking around the 70 minute mark that this is such a depressing way to flop of of the FA Cup with barely a whimper, and then the last 40 mins or so, from 80 onwards and ET, I just can't describe that.
From the Antony goal onwards, and even in ET, we carved Liverpool open multiple times and were fully deserving of the win.
I find it very frustrating how the narrative from the outside is how Liverpool managed to lose the game. Well, you have to praise United for staying in the game and creating chances.
We absolutely battered Liverpool for the last 10 minutes of the 90, and for much of ET. I think the media have talked Liverpool up so much while simultaneously taking the proverbial dump on United all season, it's difficult for them to rationalise how United could have beaten Liverpool.
The other side of the coin is that Liverpool were gifted 2 goals at the end of the first 45, didn't create a whole lot bar those 2 breaks they fluffed, and we're fortunate with 2 of the goals being deflections.
United lost their way for the first 35 mins of the second half, and Liverpool didn't capitalise on some good situations. Other than that, I thought we were the dominant team across the 120 mins, or at the very least we were going punch for punch and carving out quality chances while playing some good football.
All the standout performers were red, xG paints a different story too. I know I shouldn't be frustrated, but it bugs me to no end.
