Thought I WAS in Liverpool yesterday by the amount of bloody Liverpool shirts being worn at the Riverside Festival. Must have seen five or six spurs ones (same amount of pink away kit tops) but about 150-200 fcuking Liverpool ones   All ages so not just Dmu scouse students.

I admit I didn't see all the game cause I was out having meal with my girlfriend, the only caught bits from the odd bar or two on the screens from what I gather it was bit of anti climatic final. Shame really considering both teams have been very attacking this season. Tottenham once again just cannot win a final, I didn't expect them to win anyway but from what I seen never looked like could trouble Liverpool. For top four club now, to not win a trophy in 11 years is a bit of joke. As much as Tottenham fans can brag about how good they are these days, there still no trophy in cabinet and in that time even Wigan won something more recent than them.

I think it will be us singing "champions of Europe you'll never sing that" to them

A truly dismal final. Only got interesting when Spurs started attacking in the last 20 minutes. Down there with the worst finals in history. Although it has to be said there has been no shortage of them since 1999. Juve/Milan in 03, Inter/Bayern 2010, Real/Atletico in 2016. The last 16 to semi final stage is where it's at.

 

Our run in 2017 was admirable but I can be forgiven at looking at the last 2 years and saying that we might have gone further had we made it. 2017's last 8 were much superior to the last 2 seasons. Europe in general looks to be at its lowest ebb for years. Too many one sided leagues now and its having a big effect across the board.

 

Liverpool were very ordinary for a lot of it but after making the final last year and being the most impressive second place team in the premier league era they were due a bit of luck. They are one of the weakest sides to win the Champions League for me but they are worthy champions.

 

Whatever peoples opinions on Spurs here it was a decent achievement for them to get to this stage but their form in general this year has been mediocre. I'm struggling to recall a team to lose 13/14 matches over a year and end up in the champions league final. Starting Kane was up there with Ronaldo playing the final in France 98. Nowhere near fit and casting aside the semi final hero was just an act of sheer lunacy. Kane is a bit of a flat track bully and the favourtism shown towards him over Vardy cost England at the World Cup too. The performance of Alli was an embarrassment. Rose and Son were the only players from Spurs to stand up.

 

What struck me about Spurs was the over dependence on the same players that they had in 2016. Kane, Alli. Dier, Lloris, Toby, Jan. Erikssen. Some good players but its largely the same side who have been on the go for a long time. Even our side who won it had about 50% of the players who won the championship. The finances have hindered them but it looks like Mauricio has his favourites to the detriment of the team at times. If they are not careful they could be in trouble if they don't add some new players.

Was relieved Liverpool won it in the end to be honest. They've been too good a team to not win it.

 

Agree with some of the previous comments about Kane. I've always had a gut feeling about him that there's something just not quite right, that he's clearly very good but I'm not convinced by his mentality.

I heard a story about Kane when he was at Leicester. It corresponds with the belief that he’s only bothered about himself and borders Alan Partridge in that belief

Go on then......

Come on, story time!!

 

Tbh though I don't think Kane was fit. Surely they rushed him back purely because of the game. Shame that Moura scored a hatrick in the semi final second leg and sat the final on the bench.

I want to like him but I always get the impression that he is a bit too self-centered to the point it's detrimental. I'm not one to jump on these silly 'banter' bandwagons but that goal claiming last year kind of sums it up a bit to me.

 

I can see this being his achilles heel and would argue it already has to an extent.

 

I do however have a degree of sympathy with Pochettino and feel like no matter what he did, he was doomed on that call if he lost the game.
