Commentary was an embarrassment, didn't even try and hide their bias

[fourstardan]

Oh well got to lose before you can win.

Seriously need a petition to get rid of Carragher and Neville they are the far right of football commentary.

[UTH]

What a wonderful deflated feeing to go with the usual misery of Monday looming.

[hemidom]

Only ourselves to blame again as we should have won it in normal time.

Completely agree on the commentary though, totally insufferable all game. Neville is even worse following a United loss, can't wait to stick the boot in to someone else.

I’m a Hammer,but as a neutral you’re right,utterly embarrassing. Neville and spitter utterly ruined the game for me.Not sure they mentioned injuries,youngsters,average age etc etc. Their keeper was MOM ( he won’t get it),the love in for weeks is gonna be unbearable.

It is annoying but I can see a better future ahead when the side matures.

Never watch a game on that channel if I can help it, amazing they are allowed to show such bias and get away with it.

[ChocolateFrog]

Commiserations, a great game that could have gone either way.

Being beaten by Real seemingly every other year in the CL I know how ste it feels.

[romft123]

should have finished it off in reg time.

The worst two pundits out there. I cannot stand either of them.

As a neutral I have to say I agree.

Is Gary N pro-Liverpool?

Agree with you both, disgraceful.

As for the 3 minutes injury time, Gomez was booked for wasting about 60 seconds of it, yet the referee still blew on 33:10.

The ref reffed our game vs. M'boro last weekend and was awful, making loads of bad decisions, his reward? A Carabao cup final. Swear we're the only country in the world where the refs are protected this much, there's no punishment for making constant bad decisions week after week.

Gary Neville not holding back on his criticism is he...

"Billion pound bottle jobs". fk off Gary, we've been an inch away from scoring more than once and their keeper has had the game of his life. Could easily have been very different

He's right. Our extra time capitulation was an embarrassment. We deserved to lose for that 30 minutes alone. Apparently on Twitter Poch has said we were playing for pens. If that's true, it's shameful. Against basically their youth team.

Our 6th Wembley cup final defeat on the trot. It's unacceptable.

[TwigtheWonderkid]

Instead of getting angry the Neville called us bottlers, explain to me how we didn't bottle extra time?

Can't disagree with the way we played ET, especially after being (imho) on top for long periods of the game. Had we been an inch or two either way one or more of our shots would have gone in (be it through not hitting the post or being out of reach of the keeper/defender) and we would likely have gone on to win in normal time. Fine margins. So I disagree with the Neville quote. But agree our ET performance was utter dross, we invited what happened to happen... and it did. Playing out for pens (if that was the idea) is a stupid tactic anyway, quite apart from it being a lottery anyway our track record in shootouts is terrible and Kelleher was having the game of his life.

Gooner here. Hard lines yesterday but definitely made worse by those two plonkers. Can't stand either of them as they talk utter ste all the time.

Great that VVD said the JC wouldn't even make the current Liverpool squad

Glad it wasn't just me that thought the commentary was shocking yesterday!
