Well that was some week!!! I think it is important to place it in context though. Yes we have had 3 disappointing results and we can look at priorities, team selection, poor defending,poor finishing and refereeing as factors in all 3 but it does not take anything away from the fact that this has been a season where we have been witness to the start of a football revolution. It says everything that the first questions about our team come right at the death of a season in which we have been imperious. The last 3 games we just were not able to produce the full 90 minute perfect game but damn we came close. All 3 games could have gone the other way. Easily. All this learning/experience goes into the pot and we come back next year as Champions and stronger. So proud to be a Blue this morning.

forgiven him already
While the referreing was poor in both legs for me Liverpool went through because they defended better away from home than we did.
if the officiated correctly to the laws of the game, i firmly believe your statement would be different
Both Liverpool and City conceded two goals away from home in the first half.While the referreing was poor in both legs for me Liverpool went through because they defended better away from home than we did.
While Liverpool got a free third goal from a clear offside, we had a perfectly good goal chalked off when clearly not offside.
Thats the difference, not the respective quality of the two defenses.

I agree with you. All of the contentious moments came at important times.
We were dominating the start of the match at their place when an offside goal was allowed to stand which changed the complexion of the rest of the half. Our disallowed goal would have made the score 3-1 and given us a vital away goal, meaning 2-0 would have been enough for us in the 2nd leg. Our wrongly disallowed goal last night would have made it 2-0 at half time and got their nerves jangling more.
Can't remember what stage the game was at when we should have had the penalty at Anfield but that would have potentially been another away goal.
Of course football doesn't exactly work that way and if the result at their place had been different, then both teams would have approached last night's match differently but those incidents had a huge impact on the result. Having said that, I thought they were just about the better team over the 2 legs but those decisions certainly shaped the tie.
At half time yesterday, adjusted for those three clear refereeing decisions, we were up 4-3 in the tie and with Liverpool needing to score once just to get to extra time.we lost cos we were worse than Liverpool over 2 legs.
Sorry that is all there is to it.
We weren't "worse" than Liverpool until the last half hour when heads dropped
