Definitely a pen btw. Why was he holding an arm out like that in the box?

Wouldn't mind seeing Milner and Ox come on for Wijnaldum and Firmino (Salah to striker) at about 60

Walton is in a cave.

We haven't played well but, we are controlling it in a way that we are giving them the opportunity to score. But we can't keep going like this.

Come on reds, just get that second!!!

Just brought it home to me how global our support is. It is 4am here and the pub is packed, 100% red. We just need to concentrate a bit more in second half and this is ours.

Rob Dylan · « **Reply #3525 on:** June 1, 2019, 08:59:34 pm »

Not really enjoying this and scoring so early definitely affected the way we played, but on the other hand it's a bit more relaxing when we have the lead.

Really need to impose ourselves on the game in the 2nd half, can't be trying to hold onto this lead for another 45 mins.

That pass from Matip that put Robbo through for his chance was sublime.

Pure sex.. that was..

Very tense and edgy so far but at least we are ahead. Conditions notwithstanding, couldn't have burnt a lot of energy in the first half...hope they have burnt the nervousness though. Expect Milner on sooner rather than later

Especially our corners.

TAA's in-swingers were going in exactly the right place (where the keeper has to come out, but slightly more than comfortable), but no one was challenging for the ball.

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #3530 on:** June 1, 2019, 08:59:51 pm »

We need to get our midfielders involved in the game more, get them on the ball taking control of the game

Tobelius · « **Reply #3531 on:** June 1, 2019, 09:00:02 pm »

Looks like the occasion has gotten to some of our lads,but we're in the lead.

Bring Milner on early if things don't change but still.... don't care about the aesthetics now,just win boys.

jillc · « **Reply #3532 on:** June 1, 2019, 09:00:07 pm »

People are being a bit harsh on the players, its hard to get straight into playing football with an unnatural break and then there is the challenging conditions. We are leading and I am confident we will play better second half.

Fruity · « **Reply #3533 on:** June 1, 2019, 09:00:16 pm »

don't know if the 3 weeks gap helps the football.

My concern is that whilst it is tight we don't want to give Tottenham any momentum at all as they are probably keeping the ball better though not created anything.

Our midfield are struggling to string any passes together. Ideally this ends now as this result.

Do not give them a sniff

Real lack of fluency, perhaps not surprising given the break. Finals aren’t always classics and it certainly hasn’t been so far. Sometimes a goal so early can do that as well.

Both teams well below their best. Still we’re ahead and haven’t looked in any real trouble either, just need to show a bit more composure when we get the ball.

stara · « **Reply #3535 on:** June 1, 2019, 09:00:29 pm »

Just do it.

sikingthegreat1 · « **Reply #3536 on:** June 1, 2019, 09:00:31 pm »

both teams been nervous
was expecting we'd be better in terms of taking in the occasion since we've been in the final last year, but apparently everyone is nervous and we're not really playing our game...

luckily spurs isn't doing much better

whichever team woke up or settle down first in the 2nd half will take the game

Beautiful pass, but for a split second it shit me up and looked like it was going to put us in a dangerous position

Not to mention that it's the biggest games all of them have had in their careers so far.

I could see the inevitable Kane/Firmino subs having an impact in a match like this

rowan_d · « **Reply #3540 on:** June 1, 2019, 09:01:11 pm »

Need Wijnaldum to start imposing himself and help us get some composure in the middle. We've been smashing it forwards from the back too often imo

Have to expect Spurs will be much better in the second half, so we need to improve likewise.

Everyone who is having a pop at the lads need to calm their tits..

We have had more shots.. more shots on target.. more corners..
We have been in more threatening positions.. Lloris has been the busier keeper..

We seem to be letting them have more of the ball by design almost.. Maybe Klopp wants to play on the counter..

BTW.. Spurs have done fuck all with all the possession they have had.. and possession is pretty much the only metric they are leading on..

SO EVERYONE PLEASE CALM YOUR FUCKING TITS DOWN..
WE GOT THIS..

I think if we get the next goal, we will really begin to motor.

stoa · « **Reply #3542 on:** June 1, 2019, 09:01:37 pm »

The penalty is the perfect example why handball is such a messy thing. On German TV Lothar Matthäus thinks it was the right decision, Michael Ballack thinks it shouldn't have been given but can see why the ref would give it and Erik Meijer thinks it was the wrong decision. And basically they ask have a point... Still glad that the ref have it. Let's do this...

Doing well defensively, just need to get hold of the ball properly. The long balls aren't working.

Butcher Knife Roberto · « **Reply #3545 on:** June 1, 2019, 09:01:49 pm »

Horrible game. Just horrible. I'm waiting for Spurs to bring it to us but it's just so, well, meh......

The worst thing is that this becomes an anticlimax, and then Spurs knock a late goal in, because up to now they've done nothing. We need a second goal and quickly to open the game up. For me, next goal wins. Up the fucking Reds.

Qston · « **Reply #3546 on:** June 1, 2019, 09:01:50 pm »

Can see Milner coming on soon. Composure

stockdam · « **Reply #3547 on:** June 1, 2019, 09:02:07 pm »

Remind me of our 12 subs

AussieHKRed · « **Reply #3548 on:** June 1, 2019, 09:02:10 pm »

Don't forget it's 34℃ out there in Madrid, it's okay to conserve energy rather than keep pressing.

We're leading, that's what matters

Terrible game to watch but I'll take 1-0 all day every day - long may it continue.

OR one of our quick multi-goal blasts near the start of the second half.

Not sure whats going on can only assume the heat. Both teams and sets of fans seem a little flat

Anyway Up The Reds!!

Please please please bring it home. Been waiting years for a trophy and hoping to see the team tomorrow with the parade.

(I will take a spawny 1-0 of course )

We need to come out and play second half because if spurs get 1 goal it will be very hard mentally to turn it on again.

We do need to control midfield. Keita would have been perfect.

And a former ref on a Norwegian channel thinks it was a pen.
