Sturbridge looks like he runs at about 60% and is pretty quick to give up the chase. The injuries have really taken it out of him.

He looks a bit of a mess, doesn't he?

Can't believe some want us to buy him. He's got good qualities, but he nowhere near a top striker and looks like he'll have lots more injuries ahead of him.

I don't think he was ever world class but he was very good alongside Suarez. But you compare him now to then and he's not even half the player purely from a physical standpoint never mind the rest.

This is sooooo sweet. All those pointless comebacks and they got totally dominated in the final 😆

No.

Utd, Chelsea and Spurs are the only teams from the EPL I wouldn't route for.

How the heck have Sevilla finished outside the top 4 in Spain and not won an away game all season? They're quality. As their record here attests to.

Liverpool fans are insufferable.

I am so happy they didn't win this and qualify for CL.

Brilliant 2nd half by sevilla. Pool looked shot as soon as the equalizer went in

This reduces the potential threat of pool for next season too. They won't be able to recruit any top talent, and they miss out on the cl pay packet as well

Well done Sevilla! Brilliant. Won't say a bad word against you again.

Emery taught Klopp a lesson. Klopp really is an overrated manager. Tactically bang average.

Bang average?

No offense but that's knee-jerk of the highest order. He's a very good manager who's managing a very, very average Liverpool side. He did well to even get them to the final.

Though when a team don't deserve to win, like liverpool didn't tonight I say fuck em.

It's not knee jerk from my point of view because I have always felt that way about him.

He's a superb motivator, superb man manager, and he is good at getting his team's to play one particular way, but overall I think he's way behind the best managers out there tactically.

Did the BT presenter just say Klopp's lost his last 5 finals?

Ricky1985

I can think of 4 he's lost off the top of my head. From the Champions League final to the German Cup final last year and then the two this season with Liverpool.

Not sure about the away game failures but it was clear since February that they don't give a damn about La Liga. Emery constantly fielded weaken teams in the league to concentrate on the Europa League since it is easier to get into the UCL by winning this. Villarreal was quite far ahead at that time. As Klopp noted, they couldn't scout Sevilla since 4 weeks ago as it was pointless with all their "fake" teams.

Emery once again prove how good a manager he is. This is a tactical masterclass. He outfoxed Liverpool in every department and his tweaks in the 2nd half worked to perfection. Coke and Vitolo moving in-field caused Liverpool so much problems. There's just so much to like about Sevilla, from their transfer wizard Monchi to their manager to their players.

Who was that who said Sevilla is below Southampton level again?

No fucking way. 😆

I think Jones would remember that argument about how La Liga is so much weaker compared to the PL. Just can't remember who said that ridiculous statement 😆

He lost 2 German Cup in a row, to Bayern and Wolfsburg.

Hmm maybe. It's difficult to gauge which exact factors have made him succesful since his Dortmund days. It will be interesting to see how he fares next season when he will have had the opportunity to sign his "own" players this Summer.

Emery goes onto my list of managers to replace Wenger with at the end of next season.

Just realised the last 3 winners of the Europa League and UCL are Spanish clubs. Incredible.

6 out of the last 10 CL winners and 7 out of the last 10 Europa league winners are from Spain.

Ricky1985

And the truth is Sevilla would have probably beaten any Premier League team put in front of them tonight. The vast majority comfortably.

Michael Owen on players leaving Liverpool this summer:

'Who's bigger than Liverpool? I can see players wanting to go to Barcelona or Real Madrid but otherwise where would you want to go?'

What a gormless twat.
