May 26, 20187 yr Really unfortunate but everything just went against us. Two individual errors and a worldy striker from Bale. I know the daggers will be out for Karius, but he's been fantastic for us this season. The first one I can forgive him, the second one is a bit more punishable but meh. We matched Real Madrid and if Salah does not get floored then we win that match. We were all over Madrid in that first 30 minutes and they had no idea how to cope. Horrendous luck, I don't like to wish injury on a player but Ramos is a total bellend. The pitch invader was hilarious. Ronaldo was absolutely terrible all game, so glad he did not manage to get an undeserved goal.
May 26, 20187 yr Agent Karius strikes again! :D I loved every second of watching that match and that overhead kick from Gareth Bale is the best goal I've ever seen in the Champions League! For me it was never in doubt that Real Madrid would win the Champions League again for the 3rd season in a row. Even when they lost to Tottenham in the group stage and finished 2nd in their group I just knew they would still be major contenders again. The grief that Liverpool fans would have given us if they won would have been off the scale so I'm very pleased at this result :D I just hope Salah doesn't miss the World Cup after picking up that shoulder injury.

Literally absolutely everything went for them as soon as the knockout stages, very hard to compete with that.
May 26, 20187 yr Literally absolutely everything went for them as soon as the knockout stages, very hard to compete with that. What do you think Liverpool need next season?
May 26, 20187 yr What do you think Liverpool need next season? We just need more squad depth and another attacker or two. As well as Keita I expect us to sign another 2 midfielders and a pacy attacker and probably a goalkeeper. The truth is we are not that far away at all. The 14 players we use regularly are just about as good a match as a team for every team in the world, the problem is 1-2 injuries hurts us. I suspect this summer will be about finding replacements for Coutinho, Sturridge, Ings, Mignolet and Can. I expect 5-6 players coming in, but only 2-3 being first teamers. If the rumours from France are right about us being in for Dembele from Barcelona then I'll certainly put a fair wedge on us winning the league next year.
May 26, 20187 yr Author Lol united fans on here and twitter are hilariously smug after that result. Think it was more important for them than us!! My God Loris tho what is he at, can't make those kind of errors and stay in the Liverpool team surely. He makes some fantastic saves as well but is rash to many times. Heard Reina may be brought back as no2 at least. Ramos is one dirty pig with the play acting (he did it last year too) and the dirtiness with the elbow on Karius and the Salah injury, scumbag!
May 26, 20187 yr I've seen some comments on Twitter suggesting that no Liverpool players (or Klopp) went to console Karius after the match. I switched off only a couple minutes after the final whistle so I can't be sure whether it is true although I did see a couple shots of him alone looking distraught. If it is, that doesn't reflect very well on the Liverpool players, especially the captain Jordan Henderson.

Don't think you can blame anyone, everyone was pretty emotional. Thought Henderson was fantastic in his interview sticking up for Karius. We'll buy a keeper in the summer for certain, but I doubt it will be a Karius replacement. It's just a shame he f***ed up on the 2nd biggest stage of them all.

Similarly, Klopp should have said something. He even had the advantage of speaking the same language rather than English in a geordie(-ish) accent.
May 27, 20187 yr Needless to say Karius has receive a lot of abuse on "social" media. Thankfully, others (supporters of all clubs) have rather more sympathetic. Karius himself has been big enough to admit that he messed up; I just don't get why people feel the need (or that they have the right) to send so much vile abuse (up to and including death threats) his way.
May 27, 20187 yr Author It's ridiculous like (the fan abuse), no need! In the post match interviews most have defended him tbf!
May 27, 20187 yr It will be exclusive to BT Sport now till 2021 even the highlights will only be on the BT Sport website nothing on FTA TV.
May 27, 20187 yr The "fans" behaviour towards Karius is unacceptable. I have no problem with calling him out for 2 errors that rookies wouldn't make, or calling for him to be sold, or that he's not fit to wear the shirt. However there's a very very firm line in the sand and the threats against his life and his family are absolutely vile. I don't understand how anyone calling themselves a fan can do such a thing.
May 28, 20187 yr It is disgusting and absolutely crosses the line when a family gets threats. That is vile to hear about.
