Quality tactics from our managment.

First they put carroll on the bench.. why the fuck?

Gerrard is being covered goes deep suarez is isolated. for 45 min fucking stand and watch it.

Then they do the stupid thing of putting spearing and gerrard in a two man midfield and lampard plays with them.

Reina and enrique.... no comment.

Anything more that 6m for Joe Allen and we have been ripped off.

I would like to see him stay at Swansea myself and see if he can have another decent season. He is a championship player - players like a championship player.

Oh well. I feel bad for Gerrard and Carroll, tried their hearts out but not enough quality play around them today. Says it all that downings successful "cross" was a tackle. Enrique does some things so well but some other things do badly today! Can't really argue with the result. But Carroll definitely has a future with Liverpool. Not sure about Downing at all. Henderson's long passes and crosses were very poor today. Spearing ran around a lot without getting near anyone

Gutted, Carroll should of been on fifteen minutes before, the ball crossed the line, but why does it take us to have our arses against the ball before we kick on ?

Bellamy and Spearing were awful as was Downing until Carroll came on.  Carroll was fucking excellent, thats the player we signed.

Worries about Enrique, rest of the back four fine.

Another perfect illustration of the players at this football club thinking there's only 45 minutes in a game. Fucking woeful.

I really want to believe this game could be the making of Andy Carroll though, as it's the only positive I can take from that game. Don't think the second one was fully over, but no doubt it'll be "justice for the Garcia goal" or whatever bullshit, and Mourinho will crow about it like the classless gobshite he is.

As good as Andy was, still think the starting lineup was right, we just didn't turn up to play. There was no pressing, we barely linked up going forward, Gerrard was picking the ball up at Reina's feet, just depressing what a massive opportunity they threw away.

Shame Kenny didn't roll the dice and throw Jonjo on for Henderson at the end, but we weren't good enough over the course of the game, and got what we deserved - Fuck. All.

Can't be arsed slating individual players because the team performance was that bad in the first half, just left me wondering what is going on in the heads of these. Gutless.

Might as well start posting now.

Devastated that we lost, but at half time I couldn't even see us coming this close.
First half was awful, we had no width although the centre midfielders didn't help them at all. Gerrard had to come far too deep to pick the ball up.

Fuck it, I can't write this right now.

Lacklustre performance from both teams til we woke up. Pepe should've saved the first goal and Spearing was at fault for losing possession there. Second goal out of nothing.

But the whole of the ball must be over the whole of the line sums up our season. Gutted.

Shocking tactics by Kenny in the first half, God know what Spearing was doing in the team after his display against Fulham.

Made up for Andy played like a £35 million player today.

The 2nd half proved Chelsea were there for the taking but I'm afraid Kenny fuck it up with almost cowardly tactics in the first half

poor selection and tactics from management. Andy Carroll superb when he came on. Why was Spearing picked ahead of him.?

reminded me of the rest of the season hard luck stories brought about because we use the wrong players in the team. Say it again poor tactics and poor team selection.

Shocking mentality by all but the Geordie. Really hope that Carroll's Wembley performances can spur him to greater things, and that today was a sign of things to come for Fernando Torres ;).

I was happy with the starting XI on paper, but that's because I assumed we'd play at a high tempo. I've never seen a slower, more ponderous team than Liverpool in the first 10 minutes today. Given our approach, Carroll should have started all the way. Should have hooked Bellamy for Kuyt far earlier, given the way the Welshman was completely in Cashley's pocket.

Downing was atrociously timid in the first half but Kenny must have lit a rocket under his arse because he was pretty decent in the second. Great bit of determination to set up Andy's goal.

Fuck. Not even the width of a post today. More like a cunthair. So unlucky for Andy, a double in an extra time win would have set him on course for stardom. As it stands, his future is looking a lot brighter, which is one thing to take from today's devastation.

The last half hour can't disguise the fact that our first 60 minutes were disgusting, lethargic and cowardly.

The big man rose to the occasion, sadly the rest of the team were asleep until he came on. Thought our entire left flank had a poor game today, Downing should not have started let alone stayed on the pitch.

Whats the point of keeping Henderson on the pitch.

He's one for the future but to play so much of this season was a huge error. Spearing was bad but has played as Lucas was out but we had Kuyt and others available where JH and we still played Jordan. Mistake.

I have high hopes for him, I really do but this season was too soon for him

Bitter fucking pill to swallow. We were fucking shite until the big man came on and scored. Then we woke up and realised this was the FA Cup final and decided to try and win and we could have fucking done so until Dowd and his linesman turned a blind eye to a clear goal. The sooner we get goal line technology the better. Robbed.

I think it was obvious Suarez wasn't going to do it on his own up front against Chelsea. Gerrard was playing too deep leaving Suarez isolated, not enough players to pump the ball forward to. Carroll should have been on from the start - introducing him at 2-0 down was too late.

Very disappointed. For 60 minutes we appeared to be trying harder to lose the game than they were to win it.

Hope we have revolving doors at Melwood, as most of last summers recruits need to get out of here, a pile of shite for most of the season, think they would have struggled to beat a rubber duck on dry land out there today. Carroll putting Terry on his ass was the highlight of our performance, other than that my dinner tonight has more potential than some of our squad playing football!

Whether it was over the line or not shouldn't have been a decisive factor. We just didn't turn up until Andy came on.

Gutted.  Awful performance first 55 minutes. Almost imperious after that.

Was it over the line... I am not 100% sure, but it was a damn sight closer than the Chelsea one v. Spurs.

Gutted.
Completely agree.

Thank you Andy Carroll.
