Klopp had no choice but to rotate a bit in the FA cup - and the Watford loss was a game too far trying to win ugly and grind out wins. The squad is not as full as it could be... and key injuries took their toll. It's sad the the season is whimpering out and the coronavirus has now thrown a damper on everything. I'm not even sure the CL will be completed - and if so, it will be behind closed doors. But we should all relish the great run we had for it was a truly historic season in many ways. Here's hoping we can get the two wins fast....


I’m disappointed about the way we went out as much as that we went out. In football you will always lose games, get knocked out if cups etc. It’s part of it. But the way that Athletico played, especially in the first leg, leaves a bad taste. Properly cynical anti football stuff coupled to a shocking ref and what chance does anyone have?

But the one thing I would’ve taken this season without question or anything else is the league. IF we can finish the season with the 2 wins we need then it will have been a good season despite what some might say.


Anti football? Every team plays to its strength, there are lots of tactics in football and only the winner is remembered. Lots of teams play ugly and win, we've also had that especially this season

It’s horrible to watch and hardly takes a mastermind to park the bus and to tell his players to make cynical fouls and play act. If that’s your kind of thing then good for you (you do seem to love Maureen too) but it’s not for me.

I have to agree with the anti football comments but it is what it is. I really hope someone (but not City) absolutely rips them apart next round. The thing is they have been so successful doing it and the longer they are successful the longer they will do it for.

For us along with their neighbours RM for now we will just put them on the revenge list.

It's not about love or not, if results were based on entertainment instead of who has scored most, then Pep's teams would always win all games. The beauty of football is about different tactics and teams playing to their strengths and anybody can win. Can the Burnley players ever play like City players? No but they can still win by playing differently, that's the point.

I don’t disagree with that but I just don’t like it as a tactic or to watch. I’m allowed not to you know.

I agree, if all teams played like Pep style it would be boring, it's good to see different styles and tactics go up against each other, never liked the likes of Wimbledon in the 80's, but they made it interesting and could compete with allot less resources due to their long ball style.

At the end of the day, we got knocked by AM not because of their negative football and acting, it was because we failed to take our chances and our keeper had a dodgy night, we actually played pretty well and were unlucky really.

As soon as we went 2-0 up at the start of ET, we should have brought Fab on for a forward like Bobby and killed the game, do an AM to them, we never settled on the lead and conceded quickly, then we were chasing the game, which allowed AM to pick us off.
