Match Thread Cup Final - Newcastle (Anfield South) - Sun 16:30

This surprises you? We've been soft all season. What game happened this year where you thought "that's grit and determination"?

when you're winning - you don't see it really as the team is functioning etc a certain way.
when a team is struggling, you need to do a few things to 'win' and it's clearly not there.

salah is still trying at least.
 
5 days rest. Newcastle had 6. Is that 1 day really the difference here?
No. Mentally some of our players are fucking awful
 
We had Grav, Macca, Cody, Szobo, VVD, Konate, Ali, Salah, Kell on form at some point. That massively helped us in the league.

The rest can F off.
 
We start 4 in midfield. As soon as I saw that team I knew we were in trouble.
Wouldn't have fixed it. The wingers can't trap a ball, szob and gravy have ghosted. Macca tried but still wasn't very good.

4 in midfield changes little
 
No we're not. We're seeing a tired team against one fresh and inspired.

This isn't about tiredness. It's about lacking ideas and quality.

Without TAA, we're finding it hard to find a pass into the front men. Salah has barely got into the game.

Diaz can't beat a player. Nor can Salah. Jota isn't great. Neither is Nunez. Szobo is industry but lacks quality. Quansh is meh. Jones isn't consisent. Robbo no longer at his best defensively or offensively.

Macca and Gravy you could argue tiredness. I'll give you that.

It would have helped. It could have at least made for a game state more likely to produce a stalemate.

I genuinely don't believe it would have, when the base of your midfield doesn't exist and your highest presser doesn't do anything.

It would have been a different set up, but they still would be 2-0 up. Because they've deserved it
