Some feelings just never get old. Reaching a cup final is one of them. One of three this season hopefully.

Ain’t that the truth, what football is all about. Days out dreaming of silverware.

Took the dogs out for a walk after the final whistle and was literally skipping down the street.

[Jetmir M.]

Refereeing was also pretty nuts

Jimenez basically caught the ball in our box did they blow up for that? I watched the game on mute but play seemed to continue

Jota also penalised for a Fulham defender being second to the ball and booting him

May I shock you?

One of the commentators said nothing illegal about that. At which point I burst out laughing.

Jurgen in his post match interview looking like the fan we know he is. Saying he told the players you should never take this for granted.

I really don’t - I’ll never get tired of this feeling. Hopefully many, many more days to come

A game that was probably over in the 11th minute really, but Fulham threatened to make that the game a lot of us thought it was going to be towards the end there. Our game management has really improved recently, but there was a moment there when I really wasn't sure. On to another Final. A fantastic experience now for the lads who have hopped on board in the last two seasons. Let's make it #10.

Was at the game. We really did lose the plot for around 10 min during which time they scored. Other than that, they couldn’t lay a glove on us. Was wincing when Mac went down, mind.

[Red Beret]

Felt the ref let more and more go Fulham's way the longer the game went on. Trying to keep them in the game.

[Air Jota]

Another trip to Wembley another final! Fantastic effort and job by all, especially with the younger kids who have been a breath of fresh air.

Could have killed it off in the first half, they had a surge after the goal at 1 all but thought we were in control.  A little bit more of aggression in the final third and we would have been up 2 goals

Diaz was our best player in the final third, Darwin wasnt too far behind. Macca again really good and we missed him once he went off.

Quansah again playing like a matured pro, and Bradley as well, their first semi finals!

[KevLFC]

Any reason for that banner? smacks of arrogance especially with clubs like Fulham who arnt a big club.

[RedG13]

Glad to get the final. Wanted 1 more goal make the end easier but good performance to get through. Onto Wembley

Yes it can be perceived that way. But probably intended more as a John Lennon reference.

That banner's been around for years. I think it sums up everything about us. Why should't the question be asked?

Ffs.

Fair enough, obviously I didn't know it was referred to that. Do it after we won something or against the Mancs or Bitters!

[Lubeh]

Another good over two legs win could and maybe should have battered them but the final anyway,  rediculous they still boo Harvey but thats Tory W@nkers for you. Every single academy player playing exceptionally well, Bradley, Quansah especially, pretty young team too when you consider that players like Bradley, Quansah, Harvey, Clark, Gravenberch are all super young. I wont even bother mentioning the ref as i have to every one of our game as its pretty standard now.

[RedDeadRejection]

Lovely stuff.

[Bennett]

Can't underestimate the significance of nights like tonight for the development of Quansah and Bradley. Ultimately being a Liverpool player comes down to the ability to play at these levels at a consistent level but the signs for the pair of them are really good.

Couldn't help but take a look at YouTube comp of Clark as well, and there looks to be plenty to work with.

Credit where credit is due Nunez has really stood up in the past few weeks. I think I'm in the minority but I much prefer him out wide, or at least frequently swapping with the wide left player. Think it plays to his strengths a lot more than being the focal point of an attack.

[Gnurglan]

1-1. Job done!
Great to see us go through with so many first team regulars on the sidelines. Big night for players like Kelleher, Quansah, Clark, and Bradley. I know Kelleher has been there before, but once again he did what he had to do. Impressive from the team.

Makes you wonder why Klan members even join? They never look happy

[Gili Gulu]

Well I certainly hope we won't be blueing ourselves any time soon.

[Black Bull Nova]

That's 39 cup finals since I first went (not including all that super cup, world club cup, charity shield stuff)
We are really lucky aren't we

[kavah]

Neil Atkinson (The Anfield Wrap):

This is the telling thing about this sort of second leg. The crowd was willing, the footballers determined, but for each of them the game was happening over there.
 
At Luis Diaz's feet, in Darwin Nunez's orbit, in Ryan Gravenberch's turn, in Harvey Elliott's touch, in Daniel Sturridge's scarf, ...

 

[Jeffreys]

and btw, Diop is a c*nt...

Very true, how could anyone get annoyed with Jota, Such a softy

[ScouserAtHeart]

Bit weird giving up before the game even started

[lamonti]

Harvey Elliott running and running and running in a way that I never saw him being able to do.

Conor Bradley, an excellent footballer, even if he got done for the goal.

Quansah, to the manor born. Can't believe he's just out of the youth teams and a pretty unheralded loan.

Bobby Clark looks ready to contribute more. Hopefully he starts against Norwich.

Gravenberch looks like he can do everything we need: immaculate touch, great turn and drop of the shoulder, pings passes really well, can run past players... just not putting it all together yet. Still really young, needs time on the pitch, needs more fitness, needs a pre-season maybe. Frustrating at the moment though.

Did the business, was never going to be a cakewalk. Well done Reds.

[lamonti]

My favourite was McAllister being absolutely pounced on to the ground by 2 Fulham players and the ref blowing for a free out for Fulham.

My Mrs is beside me watching and just went "what?! I dont think I'll ever understand football, I thought when a player is fouled THEY get the free kick?"

Nah, MacAllister did the fouling there, and really well. Took down both their players who were robbing them and stopped the counter. Shrewd. 🤣

[Nyx]

Wembley here we come!

[scalatore]

Can't say I hugely enjoyed the match. Joined late so missed our goal, and the tooth I had a root canal on last week fell to pieces about ten minutes into watching, so I was in a foul mood and pain watching it.

Big mood improver to be in another final though  Wish it wasn't Chelsea again but who cares when there's another cup to be had. Let's win number 10!

[Solomon Grundy]

Think Ali needs to start the final but we all know Jurgen won't drop Caoimh for the final.

 I agree Alisson needs to start. Didn't Jurgen drop Keheller for the 1st leg?

[spider-neil]

Progression is all that matters and if there was a draw to be had in the upcoming fixtures this was the game to do it.

[eAyeAddio]

..... Didn't Jurgen drop Keheller for the 1st leg?

He wasn't dropped - he was injured.

[Persephone]

You mean the twats who booed Elliot for 100+ minutes? Nah, let the little Clubs know who is in town.

[Crosby Nick]

Kelleher played the first leg, that William shit squirmed past him.
Played well last night though.

[reddebs]

Kelleher won us this trophy 2yrs ago. 

Superb keeping all through the competition then scored the winning penalty.

[The Final Third]

Kelleher played the first leg, that William shit squirmed past him.
Played well last night though.

[Draex]

Tough one as no slight on Kellher but Alisson does give us a better chance of winning the trophy, he is literally the best keeper in the world and winning a trophy first season of a full rebuild would be huge.

Fulham are inbred Tory twats. Fuck them.
