Why should they be that short on confidence? they had a decent 2nd half and a win against Saints in the last game.

Don't make excuses for this shower of bottle jobs

They have a weak mentality and are serial losers.

Time we got to the root of the problem at the club and changed the culture and we can't do that while people make excuses for the poor lambs.

This is a club with the best stadium and training facilities in the league, the fans who go pay among the highest prices in the world.

The excuses need to stop
They’re short of confidence because they’re human beings.
 
It's not the losing the game its the manner in which we lost it, we didn't even have a go.

In a cup final you leave it all on the pitch and go down fighting. We didn't do that. Watch it back half of them spent the game jogging about.
The problem is not the players they are the result. The problem is very little thought has gone in to the squad make up and future planning. We sold Walker 4 years ago now and Aurier has now played for us for four years with very little push to replace him even though he is a liability. When we did sign someone who could replace him it was Doherty who plays in a super specialised system where the wing back does not have to defend. This is a transfer that was a disaster for both teams Wolves lost a goal threat and goal assister, while we got a player who was completely useless to our system whoever scouted him needs to be gone. The problem we have is no forethought has gone into building our squad.

I don't disagree.

But we are talking about a cup final performance here not the other issues at the club, few years ago Wigan beat Man City in a cup final with a far larger gap in the quality of the sides than what there was at the weekend.
Yes, we all expected to lose, Yes, City are different level to us. But roll up your sleeves and have a fucking go.

Can you honestly say we left everything on that pitch? that's my issue. Carragher was spot on, it was a cowardly performance.
 
If they don't have what it takes to compete they shouldn't be at the club.

You leave all your self doubt and angst at the door in a cup final and leave everything on the pitch.

We left nothing on the pitch

Few tears at the final whistle aren't fooling me.
You can’t choose what to do with your self doubt and angst. The mind doesn’t work that way.
 
May be great analysis but how does he still have a job on sky he spat at someone and it hit a little girl. The man should have been dumped onto foreign TV analysis with all the other washed up pundits.
He didn't mean to spit at the girl, but the guy taunting him.
I don't want to live in a society where people aren't forgiven for mistakes they make in the heat of the moment.
 
The guy apologised and was suspended for the rest of the season. Do you think he should never be forgiven? Cancelled forever?
Yes

Only Scum spit

Unforgivable and disgusting and I don’t give a toss whether he apologised or not

Any amount of diseases can be picked up by someone spitting at another person

I’m amazed at anyone on here defending him

Spitting is disgusting but pre-pandemic it wasn’t really a health risk.
Im not defending him, just giving my opinion that we shouldn’t turn into a society where people aren’t forgiven for their mistakes.
 
Don’t think Jamie Carragher has hepatitis though.

Someone should have told the little girl. No reason to get worked about being spit on. It's not like he has hepatitis!

Pre pandemic we had other diseases which could be spread by spitting which is why Police often wear spit hoods to combat the danger

Not digging you out mate but I feel quite strongly about this

In this case it wasn’t a mistake it was a deliberate vile action by this piece of filth so no forgiveness from me
 
No good blaming the ref we was shit . Certainly this bunch of players don't give a toss about the club . Why in a final do our so called star players take a day trip to the seaside. And really who in their right mind would want to come in and manage this lot piss poor the lot of them
