That was a perfect example of a jammy result with help from the ref too.
Are they fecking what.
Everything they touch turns to fecking gold.

13 years ago someone somewhere did something so awful that our Club is jinxed. Our bad luck is compounded by the polar opposite happening to our rivals.
Please make it stop.

I still don't understand how they could ignore the red card. There wasn't any doubt it was a foul, it's not hidden or subjective, the push is clear.
A truly criminal victory. Liverpool should’ve been a goal and a man down. The whole heel is offside thing is just fecking absurd. And Konate’s challenge would’ve been a foul anywhere else on the field. The ref completely bottled it.
Inarguably one of the luckiest, most ill deserved victories I’ve seen at this level for some time.

You have Allison who palms the ball to the other side of the pitch, and we have Onana who palms balls 3 yards out. This is not magical luck, this is luck from having quality in the team.
No question after tonight. Slot a like for like lucky general replacement for Klopp.
They just aren't allowed to lose, are they?
Well I guess it's going to be more convenient having Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings completely free for the foreseeable.
Waiting for when a toe nail is offside in a major cup final.
It's going to be the most hated toe nail on the planet.
No doubt about any of that, but there is an additional element which often gets overlooked. That is, that Ferguson team which won his last title was not just his worst title-winning team, but arguably the worst from anywhere in the previous 30 years. Which shows just what a phenomenal feat of management it was to get a winning tune out of that team - possibly his finest.
Of course, since he knew he was retiring, he didn't have to worry about rebuilding a new team etc, something he had had to do three or four times during his OT career.
All of which suggests to me that had Moyes been left a better inheritance, he might still have done ok.
You know, like Slot taking over from Klopp.
100%
They were very lucky today, didn't look good.
that was really obscene tonight and I thought I can't be bothered by them anymore, disgusting
Games like this makes you hate football. One of the biggest robbery and scam win you can find.
The football gods want them to win everything. they should've lost 7-1 tonight
Luckiest win in a CL tie I can remember.
The Konate challenge not being a red looks worse and worse the more replays I see. Scandalous decision.
He does this all the time. I thought he would've got pulled up for it in Europe. Evidently not.
bit harsh considering ferguson rebuilt united many times, and was pretty open that he retired for his wife and couldn’t put the time in to rebuild again, compared to klopp, who didn’t actually rebuild liverpool once. he just built the side you see today, which is actually at the end of its cycle. this is their 2013. the last drop squeezed from some of their biggest players. they need a rebuild now too. i think they know that. hence the radio silence on salah and van dijk.
they don’t have the glazers. regardless of any managerial decisions; how they’ve run united is the single reason why we’re so shite. liverpool seem to have got their shit together a lot better to cope with slot building his first liverpool team.
It's not luck it's their style.
Whilst other top teams obsess over possession and territory, Liverpool essentially have 10 hard working outfield players who run their socks off and lump it long for the forwards to chase at every opportunity.
It was a typical Liverpool performance. PSG played them off the park but couldn't score. Liverpool lump it long for one of their limited but dogged forwards who gets a favourable bounce of the ball and they score.
It's ugly as sin but incredibly effective and you have to appreciate how they have built a squad where every single player suits the style and system.

I can't even imagine the outrage and headlines if that was United that got away with that decision, but it seems pretty quiet everywhere and people are talking how big team Liverpool are because they've won
Just recently there was a popular video from 2000s circulating on social media how Ferguson's United dominated because of refereeing while showing the clip in background and it was Rio against Arsenal in same situation getting away from booking(if I remember well it was nowhere near penalty box though). The fact that was the best they came up in almost 20 years and they just had even worse situation makes it even more ridiculous.

All of which brings into focus Slots whining about other teams playing it long.
You couldn’t make it up.
Pretty sure United are cursed. Apart from having the ground totally bombed, a team destroyed in an air crash, we’ve had two legendary managers replaced by utter chaos, while the said legendary managers looked on, while being paid off, leaving us in the doldrums for decades. Then this lot don’t even blink when their best managers leave. Then there’s City. Nearly two decades of outrageous cheating, while the FA do feck all but sh!t themselves when Rupert Murdoch shows up to take ownership of us and then stand by while the Glazers…. aaaaaargh
All we need to complete the set is an Arab consortium taking over Leeds.
You really couldn’t make it up
Has anyone got any kind of explanation of wtf VAR saw that made them ask the ref to overturn his red card decision?
wtf was a clear and obvious error about giving the red card? Having watched it a few times I can’t even think of what the VAR may have even suggested to say it wasn’t a red card. One of the most bizarre VAR overturns I’ve ever seen.

I am sure there must still be videos of you routinely kicking arsenal off the park with nary a breath at the whistle from back thenI can't even imagine the outrage and headlines if that was United that got away with that decision, but it seems pretty quiet everywhere and people are talking how big team Liverpool are because they've won

They look pretty fecking awful whenever I watch them this season. Lucky bastards
