Agree 100% with you. Liverpool do tend to struggle though when teams sit back with ten men behind the ball. Either they don't get the lucky break city get at times or they don't have the player to unlock that tight defence,not sure which to be honest. As you say city will spend 100's of millions in the closed season to ensure its not as close again.

It’s a damning stat for such a talented strike force. In three consecutive cup finals Liverpool failed to score a single goal including two periods of extra time.

And in all three occasions,if my mind serves me correctly, they all sat back with vertually 10 men behind the ball

Missed the game, was at my 2nd T20 in three days at Old Trafford.
Caught the last ten minutes on my phone on tram home. Sounds like you should be buying John Moss a drink tonight.

Great to see Forest promoted, one Yorkshire team in the Premiership is already one to many.

Who cares what that muppet thinks.
Badmouthing referees always happens, esp from losers.
Forest have had to endure terrible decisions this season, today things went in our favour.

Forest won, thats all the record books will show, and all that counts.

Anyone see the disgraceful scenes after the French play off game? Flares thrown onto the pitch and fans rampaging. Expect hard punishment At Etiene!

I expect they'll get yet more sanctions. It's worrying how flares are more and more being thrown at games,English grounds included.

Something has changed at football grounds I think. Same with England back in the Euro 2020 final last year. I suspect it's an increasing use of cocaine amongst supporters.

I suspect its a rebound from lockdown. After paying for tickets, fans can't afford cocaine. (seem to be able to afford flares though, those could be banned from sale).

Not sure why flares are on general sale anyway?

Mainly for people who own sea going boats I guess. Didn't realise football fans were such a nautical bunch.
