So...we lost...gutted.

Pros:

  • Lucas at CB worked very well. Not sure he's a long term option but certainly something worth considering as he's important to the team off the field as well as on it. 
  • Sturridge got through 120 minutes, quite an achievement
  • Origi goes from strength to strenght
  • Klopp made a cup final with a Rodgers team. Not a bad effort.

Cons:

  • Our touch in the last quarter is poor and too many air or dink passes that are hard to control OR passing behind a player slowing down our quick attacks.
  • Trying to run the ball into the goal box - someone shoot!!!
  • Mingolet - some great saves but ultimately the clanger will be remembered. He's one of the worst near post keepers I've seen.
  • Hendo and Can went missing. With a decent front 3, we need a creative midfield and we just don't have that.
  • That Coutinho penalty was the key moment for me...he scores and we're 2 - 0 up in the shootout putting pressure on their next takers - he misses and lets the pressure valve go.

Also, Milner should never take a corner, ever, ever again.
