You don't have to convince me

Only team not to have had awarded a penalty yet

Exactly. When you look at it, those two point robbed would have us top of the league right now. That's why people get upset about cheating. Against Porto we weren't good enough, even though they were cheating by falling over constantly, but when there's a blatant foul ignored by both the ref and VAR who looked at it, but for something else because they're entirely incompetent then you feel a bit of a grievance. I'm glad we gave you a pasting tonight, just a shame it wasn't even more so...

Except there were three different VAR checks on that one goal, including looking at that supposed foul and not one of them could see anything wrong with it. But don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story. Enjoy your victory tonight, stop letting us live rent free.

I agree @YouOnlyCameToSeeEboue

I think it is difficult to not feel aggrieved after a game when you have clearly unfairly lost points.
It is hard to take.

In hindsight it looks terrible from a fair play perspective

Yeah at some point we would have been happy for a point. Caley are the ones just above us in the league, 6 points clear. I think today was the nail in the coffin for us.

Yes, we saw them looking at the blatant foul, but only for offside or whatever it was, because they didn't look at that angle for the the foul! It's beyond ridiculous.

But, yeah, go on believing that you've won something...

🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I can’t do this anymore. Enjoy your victory.

We will, thanks!

Can't believe Iwobi's goal yesterday. He would usually freeze and kick it straight at the goal keeper.

Come on you Reds!

I don't have Sky, or anything else, so will have to 'watch' on The Guardian website whilst listening to Radio 5 Live!

BBC Merseyside started their coverage at 1pm

I have no interest in the match but follow their presenter Guilia Bould

Come on the Blues! (DW is a Chelsea fan)

Watching the final and my blood is boiling at what those dirty Chelsea fuckers are being allowed to get away with. Absolutely furious.

Caicedo and Chilwell are thoroughly unlikeable little weasels.

Gawd, I can't bear more of this! Hope it doesn't go to penalties although Liverpool have a good record on those!

Apart from the fight, it's been quite dull.

I'm listening on the radio - it doesn't sound dull!

OMG! This team...oh my. The character of this team is just astonishing. They could not have deserved that more!

I wouldn't call over 40 shots on goal (20 on target), 2 disallowed goals, 2 attempts off the woodwork and multiple goalmouth scrambles dull personally.

For a neutral that was really really dull. Annoyed I didn't just switch off the television set and go out and do something less boring instead (except it's pissing down here)

I watched as a neutral and enjoyed it!

So did I. Both teams went for it, it was end to end.

Everton points deduction reduced to 6

@NooNakedJacuzziness
You could've watched 'why don't you' .... 😉

Ok then, if all you other neutrals found it scintillating......
