    But they blew golden opportunities to win the League

    i get that this is a great time to have a wee troll of Liverpool supporters, but i reckon stick to the bits with merit

    Liverpool won 15 and drew 2 of their last 17 league games and dipped out by a point. Not sure there is too much else they could have done.

    To not score in 3 finals points to something lacking in the way Klopp is approaching them

    In the end slightly disappointing to have such a great season but only come away with the two trophies the big sides only really care about if they reach the semis.

    Could be worse though.

    Michael Owen said just after the final that "Liverpool are still the best team in Europe" - which I'm not sure I disagree with. I'd rather play City or Real Madrid than Liverpool, yet they hold the bigger trophies.

      Michael Owen is also a bit of a deadshit

      Not sure I can get on board with that when they haven't win their league in a couple of years, and lost another champs league

      They are a very good and consistent team though.

        Best team in Europe?

        1. Lost a two goal lead to draw at Chelsea.

        2. Couldn’t force a win at home to Chelsea despite having a man advantage for the entire second half.

        3. Struggled against Spurs home and away. They were lucky to draw both.

        4. Drew both games with City. Had lead twice at Anfield.

        Klopp whinged about Courtois's man of the match performance.

          @canefan well somebody has to be.

          You can write similar lists for all others clubs too.

          Except perhaps Real.

            How did he get a gig on TV? Zero insight and personality. Although that seems to be the main requirement for a BT Sport "analyst"

              He played a bit of football back in the day? Doesn't seem to project as one of the game's deep thinkers. But it's only football right? Lacks personality, that is the big thing

                    Did I miss something?

                    Liverpool 6/11 players …. And they came second? You’d have to conclude Klopp is shit then no?

                    Son …. Golden boot without a single penalty. Doesn’t make it.

                      @MajorRage It's voted on in March I think and it is voted on by players so they tend to pick without much thought. Ronaldo is the biggest outlier in that team of the year, how is he ahead of Son & Kane?

                                  It seems more about how much you can pay players now rather than transfer fees given Fredericks (and Rothwell from Blackburn) have come in on frees. Forest have bought Awoniyi, a striker from Germany who I saw a bit on the Bundesliga highlights, built like a fridge.

                                  Meanwhile Gareth Bale looks like he is going to MLS and not Cardiff.
