FA CUP FINAL: RESULT - Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool
Another trip to Wembley, another win? That's what I was hoping! But Chelsea had other plans... It's heartbreak for the boys at this same stadium where a few months ago they celebrated a win (an unconvincing one) over Cardiff City in the League Cup. Today though, it was altogether different...
Hmmm...where do I begin? Reina's inability to dash out of his goal to stop a player from scoring past him in a one-to-one situation? Or Andy Carroll's 'goal' that was disallowed? Either way, I watched my beloved Liverpool take on Chelsea in this season's FA Cup, and left feeling pretty deflated. To be honest, Liverpool just didn't get in the game. They were abysmal in the first half, with all of the players running around like headless chickens, and also going into the break 1-0 down, thanks to a nice goal from Ramires. This is where I am frustrated: why was Reina left stranded at where he was standing? Why couldn't he rush out to try getting the ball? Not the first time he's been in such a situation... Sigh. And the header by Carroll that didn't result in a goal, despite it 'crossing the goal line'. What the heck??? The football governing bodies are always talking about implementing goal line technology, but until now has failed to provide a decent technology that can be used in games such as this. Now, here's a dilemma, and the referee and linesmen can't prove anything. Seriously, this is all a joke. Football's being run by nutcases. Sorry for straying away from my personal review of the Cup final. Overall, it's been a decent cup run for my Liverpool this season. Premier League form has been atrocious, but I'm pretty confident next season will be a big change. No point dwelling on this defeat. There are always bigger things to look forward to. Here's to success next season. YNWA!
