Liverpool 2:1 Newcastle. In game & post match discussion.

Really thought Luis would score a hatrick today he's my FF captain. Oh well.

he would if he remembered to wear his studs on his fvking boots

Well that was fun wasn't it! Don't think a season has come and gone quite as quickly as this. Disappointed to miss out on the title? You bet. Delighted with the season overall? Undoubtedly. It has been a watershed season for us.

And in addition, what a fantastic forum this has been to discuss the season. Thank you!!

 WELL DONE REDS
 Its been a fantastic season
 we were so close
 YNWA

Bittersweet.

Brilliant season, but no title.

However, we've certainly got one hell of a foundation to build on, and some vital experience gained along the way.

Bring on next season, bring on the champion's league, the Redmen will be back in force.

Did anyone see that city fan, grown man, run around the pitch with a pretend trophy?

Tit.

i would of done the same if it was us that won

I'd get rid of Sakho before Agger, Lucas, fair enough, back up, but he's been poor even when coming on. Be sorry to see Pepe go, always hoped he'd be here as back up. Alberto and Assaidi, yes, sell Assaidi but give Alberto one more season to shine

Sakho and Agger are pretty equal at the moment but when you take age, wages, injury record and potential into account it would be wiser to build our defence around Sakho in my opinion. No point keeping 120k a week on the bench for Pepe - that would pay for a top class attacking midfielder who could pressure and score to bring on alongside Jordan.

Oddly Assaidi is the one, after Lucas, I think is the hardest decision. We need a player who can carry the ball and beat a man before laying off or shooting. Moses has completely failed in that regard and Assaidi only cost us a couple of mil. I would say if there's a much better option on the table for the money we could get for him we could take it otherwise we have priorities for our money elsewhere.

Well done,finishing 2nd with our squad size is amazing,credit to the players for coming so close,we will strengthen in the summer,and hopefully will go one better next season

Looking back, yes the experience gained in the last 5 games will be immense and when we are in similar position next season, I'm sure we won't bottled it again. We will be better mentally and physically prepared. All part of the learning curve. Well done to the lads and BR.

The really ironic thing is, if we'd played like we did in the last 5 minutes, we'd have won the league

That's how you kill off those last minute goals from Palace, that's how you shut a game down

Still, the dust has settled and if you'd have told me we'd finish 2nd on 101 goals with a chance of winning it on the last day, I'd have bitten your arm off

Erm no. The palace result was ultimately irrelevant. Oh and we were two men to the benefit of Newcastle's 9 if you didn't realise.

Ok, next season starts now

Johnson out
Allen out?
Lucas out
Cissokho out
Moses out
Aspas out

All F***ing day. Perfect.

Im all for the banter with the UTD fans, they have earned it. The banter will fade with their name. Has been fun though.

If we could could strenghten with a DM and right back, score as many goals as we do now and concede half as much, we will demolish city.

That's the one.

He's right. We needed a cannier and more ruthless approach to our game. We've lacked it since the City game at home.

Feeling empty at the moment. Can't even bring myself to flick the channel to see those cu*ts lift the Title.

Gutted.

Want to watch the the players come back on the pitch, is there a stream for this?

Erm no. The palace result was ultimately irrelevant. Oh and we were two men to the benefit of Newcastle's 9 if you didn't realise.

The Palace result could well have been avoided if we'd shut up shot at 3-1 and passed it around instead of panicking and trying to score more. Granted the first goal was a deflection (albeit because Johnson didn't close down quick enough). As for 9 men, doesn't make any difference if you keep the ball and starve the opposition of playing time, which was my point.

Well played boys.
Let's go and do the quadruple next season.

Gutted.

Oh I never will.. I don't think I've seen any side lift the title since we last won it.. I've never once seen a picture of say utd lifting it







Hey look though Ian, we're all gutted, but what a season..
We finished 12 pts clear into the top 4, many seasons we have got into it we haven't done it so comfortably..

Me and you mate, we will see us do it next year, don't worry about watching them lift it.. We will see us do it in 12 months time

On and up

You'll never walk alone

Looking forward to having Champions League foptball at Anfield again

He's right. We needed a cannier and more ruthless approach to our game. We've lacked it since the City game at home.

There's a time for scoring goals and a time for shutting up shop and parking the bus. Timing is everything

Yep - totally agree.

Great comments from Sturridge.

Ok happy we had won the game, not sure what happened in that first half.

This game was supposed to be us showing our heart and determination to make that tittle ours and not only that to show the fans how far we had come, but we bottled it, until the second half.

IMO when bringing new players, their temperament has to be analyzed yes they have to have ability and skill but i want our players to have heart and have the balls to go all the way and win us the league. Our team needs more players like Suarez, Sterling and Henderson yes they are skilled ability wise but they'll chase anything down to make a difference for us. Gerrard can't lead us by himself anymore we need more leaders.
