Yea bottling it is not a term ya can use at 94 points If ever we bottled it, it was in the game against United, they didn't really dominate and we had one shot on target from 35 or 40 metres by Sturridge. If we had the nothing to lose attitude of the Newcastle or Barca return leg, we would have won. The Everton game was not far neither, is it because it was a derby? However, this comes with experience, ie, no fear to lose.

However, this comes with experience, ie, no fear to lose. I agree, I think in the Utd away game we did not put pour foot down and go all out, but we nearly lost that game at the end, I think Smalling missed a cross? I think Klopp saw the draw as a good result, OGS had just took over and was on a great run, so Utd were on a high and the fans were baying for blood to stop our PL challenge, so at the time I can see why Klopp decided to keep it solid rather than risk a loss, but in hindsight it looks like an opportunity lost, least we know for next season we need 100+ points to win it!

Yea bottling it is not a term ya can use at 94 points Maybe not, but to be honest how many of you who is attacking me now were thinking the same thing when we could've gone 7 or even 10 points clear at the time. The last few weeks those same results keep getting mentioned. Also had we dropped down to down to 3rd or 4th at this stage, "bottling" or "couda" "shouda"would've come to mind. This is just my opinion. I’ve never thought we bottled it. We had a bad patch simple as that. How younor anyone can say we’ve bottled anything this season is beyond me. It’s your opinion which you’re entitled to but my opinion of that is that it’s just plain wrong.

We’re all wiser with hindsight eh?

I think people remember the injuries Utd had at the time we played them, so thinking we should have took advantage and hammered them, Barca probably thought similar on Tuesday when we had Salah/Firmono/Keita out injured...... sometimes teams bond over injuries/change of line ups and can produce amazing results/performances.
Whatever happens, no one has bottled it, quite the opposite, both us & City have shown unbelievable mental strength dealing with the pressure and whatever has been thrown at them, every week the press have been predicting/hoping is this the game Liverpool lose it, but we have shown them all we are much stronger than that.

We had one shot on target (Sturridge from 35-40 yards 1m from the throw line) and they hardly dominated the game. Ask yourself why.

Doesn’t matter what happened in the game. You were banging on about how good Ole had done etc. etc. before but because we didn’t win it was a game we bottled now?
Like I said, hindsight. A wonderful thing.
And yes I did watch it and it was a fire game. One that on our day we should’ve won but again, just because we didn’t doesn’t mean we bottled anything.
