LOL, understatement from Clive Tyldesley.

 

[sohois]

He's done it a few times this season, and he's been woeful.

Indeed, Kuyt is now a far worse option than Carroll is.

 

[MarshMellow96]

Downing crossing to shadows..

 

[norinrad]

Where should Suarez go if he decides to leave Liverpool?

Spurs would fit his style of play.

Pool playing like shit, what an uninspired team

 

[Carbonox]

Downing finally makes a cross...

No one in the box.

Classic Downing.

 

[GorillaJu]

Henderson / spearing off for Carroll would make sense

Henderson can do Spearings job.

 

[Brinbe]

If they're gonna persist in playing in these crosses, why not have Carroll out there

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Class ball by Spearing that time mind off the corner

 

[The Super Bob]

The final was always going to be shit after the game we got treated to earlier but this is more dire than anything I could imagine.

 

[Sage00]

Much better from Liverpool.

 

[Labadal]

I hate Jose Enrique.

 

[Garjon]

has dalglish ever considered putting kuyt up front? i know he's been playing as a winger for quite a while now, but he's nowhere near as bad as carroll and that would mean that you could drop suarez a few yards back, so he'd get involved more often. suarez is their only creative player on the pitch--you'd want him to get involved as much as possible. that would only make sense!

He has and his contributions consist of missing near open goals and stopping his own teammates from scoring. Carroll actually has been pretty good these past few games and to see him omitted from starting lineup is disappointing.

EDIT: My word, Enrique is having a shocker

 

[Fry]

Where should Suarez go if he decides to leave Liverpool?

He should stay for another season, that is if the club sell all the crap brought by Kenny and start a new rebuilding...

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

If I were to be a Chelsea supporter I'd feel offended if this Liverpool menages to equalize.

 

[Salvadora]

Does Downing do anything except lose the ball and cross to no-one?

 

[Kyoufu]

The problem with Liverpool is they have a team full of English players who are absolutely dire.

Ironic that their best player is foreign. Maybe Kenny should re-think everything...

 

[Jeff Albertson]

I love Ramires

 

[Brinbe]

oh my god, really?

 

[Vivalaraza]

Athletically Ramires is just sensational.

 

[MPW]

If I were to be a Chelsea supporter I'd feel offended if this Liverpool menages to equalize.

or win

 

[Ravensmash]

Picking up a bit now, think Liverpool suddenly realise where they are.

edit: maybe not, playing the "keep it in their half game" again

 

[Labadal]

As angry as I am, I feel more sorry for people who bothered to buy a ticket for this game.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

I love it when pundits try and big up a shite game that the channel has paid millions for by saying its tactical and tense

 

[flyover]

I hate Jose Enrique.

He's been so bad the latter half of the season. Like he just ran out of gas in January. Also, he and Downing just work terribly together.

If Downing weren't so averse to through balls, he would be so much more effective. Hell, if anyone on Liverpool except Gerrard and Suarez had ever heard of a through ball, they'd be more effective. They're a team without width that are in love with crosses.

 

[GorillaJu]

Henderson has got a great through ball

 

[offshore]

Surely the FA will rethink the corporate policy next year.

Wembley is so quiet it's unreal.

 

[Brinbe]

Well, that was about as drab as expected

 

[Meier]

Liverpool are just so ugly with the ball. What was Suarez thinking with that "pass?"

 

[Ushojax]

Liverpool need Andy Carroll ASAP. I think that says it all.

 

[Empty]

please be better second half.

 

[Seep]

Dire! I can see us getting hammered in the second half.

 

[Garjon]

It's the FA Cup final, yet this game has zero atmosphere; it's not just now either, it's been like this all match. They should keep having the finals at the Millennium Stadium. What a dull half, almost zero quality from any player on the pitch.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Surely the FA will rethink the corporate policy next year.

Wembley is so quiet it's unreal.

haha you'd think right...

 

[TeegsD]

God, this has been boring

 

[Sage00]

What's up with the way Adrian Chiles is talking? Has he had a stroke?

 

[Kyoufu]

Dear Liverpool,

Norwich are more entertaining than you.

 

[flyover]

Henderson has got a great through ball

You're right. Forgot about him. He probably should be played centrally, so he can make the most of his abilities. If it means putting Gerrard on the wing, so be it.

 

[Oxx]

Liverpool ain't exactly Barca, Chelsea can probably hold this lead.

 

[Carbonox]

Eh don't worry, the real FA Cup final will be tomorrow with Man City vs Newcastle.

 

[jns]

Man, who would have guessed Liverpool and Chelsea would be playing a boring, uncreative match!

 

[sohois]

Abysmal first half. let's just go over one person who is not to blame: Stewart Downing

He has contributed little, yes, but there was nothing he could do for the goal and in any case the likes of Bellamy, Suarez & Gerrard have all been equally poor. I was somewhat surprised (well, i wasn't) that Downing was so excoriated in previous posts while no one cared to mention the completely negligible efforts of the other attackers.

 

[Garjon]

Here's something I've been wondering about. How do Bet365 get their live odds adverts ready for broadcast so quickly after the half time break?

 

[MarshMellow96]

20,000 between two teams at £400 each seems more likely.

Also, glad an attacking side like Spurs weren't in the final. They would be out of sight by now.

 

[Kyoufu]

Eh don't worry, the real FA Cup final will be tomorrow with Man City vs Newcastle.

You mean..

Newcastle vs Man City

the superior fixture

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I can't wait for Carroll to come on and do fuck all only to be told by Liverpool fans that he's having a great game.

 

[kingellesar]

Does Downing do anything except lose the ball and cross to no-one?

Harsh, he passes to Enrique so he doesn't have to put a cross in himself or take on the full back, then runs inside and gets blocked off.

He is the most useless player I have seen in the Premiership and that is saying a lot being a Spurs fan.

 

[Carbonox]

That advert with Southgate not missing his penalty...

WHAT

THE

FUCK

Oh I fucking hate the media in this country so much.

 

[Garjon]

LOL at that ITV highlights reel

 

[GQman2121]

No mistakes.......

We have to keep that up and we're good.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Guys I'm still backing a Liverpool win

Chelsea if they went for it could have killed it off that half but themselves never got going

Liverpool will have to go for it giving Chelsea a dilemma as to stick or twist
