FA Cup Final : Liverpool v/s Chelsea

  
No, I am not disheartened.

HALF TIME : 0-1 
FULL TIME : 1-2
Carroll (61') : Ramires (11') Drogba (52')

Yes, it was disappointing.
Yes, it was heartbreaking.
Yes, it was a terrible performance.
Yes, that wasn't a goal 
Yes, Kenny made some wrong choices

But No, I am not disheartened.

If we had to be relegated I would do it with King Kenny. If we had to lose a cup, I am glad it was with King Kenny. Because like us, he is one guy who loves Liverpool to the core. No one can question his tactics because he has already proved his worth as a manager and no one can question his heart as we all know it lies at the Kop. Being a total optimist, I never lost hope until the 94'. Even after the game ended (plus an hour of shock) I continued to search for something positive we could take from this game and I got a few. It's not much but it is also not nothing ........
  • Carroll is finally proving his worth and becoming the player we want him to be .... He totally changed the game when he came on.
  • If we would have won the game, the cup win would have overshadowed the cracks we witnessed in our team this year ... Now Kenny has no option but to make drastic changes
  • The cup tie provided immense experience for our young players and that is really worth something
  • I agree that we were sloppy in the first 60' but let's not forget our last 35' performance. Imagine what could have happened if we had played like that for the entire 90'. This shows we are capable of great things. We just need to channelise our skills better.
  • I realised how much I loved Liverpool after the defeat .... it is not just a club to me, it has become a part of me !

Riena : Reina is a fantastic goalkeeper and could have saved both those goals but Alas ....
Johnson : He was average but had a few great runs in the last 35'
Skrtel : He was good in the first half., but in the second half it felt as if he had taken the 2nd goal to his conscience
Agger : He was good and saved us in many tough situations
Enrique : He was poor, didn't contribute much to the game. I felt he deserved Agger's anger in the 1st half.

Gerrard : watching Captain Fantastic cry was the worst moment of the match, he tried his best but could have done better with those free kicks and those occasional chances.
Henderson : Worthless again, I can now say that he is the worst signing of this season
Spearing : Worst Player of the Match for me  .... I don't know what Kenny sees in him. But it is good that he realized that Spearing was the weak link in our midfield and replaced him. He was solely responsible for the first goal. Not to be cruel, but he was totally useless ....
Downing : He is improving with every game and this loss just adds to his experience. Next season, he needs to do more than just put in shifts.
Kuyt : The Flying Dutchman didn't get much time ... could have won the game for us !


Suarez : He couldn't do much while he was alone. Carroll's entry affected him a lot. He felt short of help so many times during the game. His attempt to copy his Norwich goal in the first half showcased how desperate he was.
Bellamy : He was surprisingly bad .... :-(
Carroll : Man of the Match for me ........ He is finally proving his worth and winning hearts. He was solely responsible for our revival. Amazing performance !!

Let's not start cribbing or be sad anymore. If it is hard for us, then it is 10 times harder for the players and the staff. I know that the game on Tuesday is nothing more than a consolation, but let's support our team and go win it.
Being in two cup finals in one season is good enough for me, hopefully we can repeat this next season and top it up with a Champions League Finish.

WE SAY IT LOUD
WE ARE RED
AND WE ARE PROUD ......
