I thought 1st half Utd played them off the park.
Then 2nd half and a couple of defensive lapses and it was all Liverpool whom looked very much like going on to avenge their loss to Utd at home.
But it just wasn't to be. Nice to see young Kobbie get the winner a player whom under Amorim was heading out of the door.
With Casemiro moving on, Shaw becoming injury prone and Ugarte not good enough
,though Fernandes becoming bit of a Luka Modric probably another season left - Utd need to spend big to stand any chance of competing.
Is Carrick the man to do the job - I'm really not sure ?
Liverpool still need to qualify, I'm not sure if slot will be their next season despite what the owners say ?

I didn't see much of the black arts yesterday. But I suppose if you are intentionally looking for it you will see it.
I would've taken 3-0 all day long before the match but felt a little disappointed when there were no goals in the second half.
I'm hoping this is not a one off and a return to form as it's not been so good the last month or so.
Come on Everton, give us a draw at least.

Athletico and teams from the continent have been synonymous with that style of play for decades. What is so annoying for the neutral is that Arsenal shouldn't have to given the quality of their players. It smacks of desperation. I'm not generally anti Arsenal but this season they are pissing people off.

Being so anti Arsenal you would say that 
Talking of dark arts Atelitico seem to have mastered them but you wouldn't have noticed that.

I agree there has been some poor decisions over both matches. However, that particular incident was was the pick of the bunch and highlights Arsenal's reliance on the 'dark arts '.

When I said fiasco I didn't mean just that incident, I meant both semi finals.

Ref made a clear and obvious error by awarding a penalty when it wasn't. VAR asked the ref to have a look again. He then, quite rightly reversed his decision. That's what VAR is for.
Did Eze get booked for simulation? Should have.

dunnow, I think they got it right last night against Arsenal, surprised Eze plays football, he'd fall over a blade of grass
Very tactical, yet open game last night, Arsenal surprised me with that, thought it'd be more closed shop, worth watching just for Simeone senior
Mr White...naughty boy, don't fancy his chaces against Simeone senior let alone junior

Penalty decisions in the CL are a fiasco

I'd forgotten about the penalty,...can't believe they do that in Europe, how was the player meant to know where the ball would hit him and then move his hand in order not to hit it. It'd be easier to just bring in a ridiculous rule like all defenders must have their hands behind their backs when in the box, absurd!
Going to be interesting tonight, I just hope Letti don't get impatient, having said that I'd like them to take it to Arsenal in the interest of the neutrals watching

Fantastic game. Two best teams in Europe atm just going at each other.
The penalty decision was a joke mind. No way was that a handball.
Was thinking the same, just give the trophy to the winner, either team deserve it 
Tonight's game was/is always going to be different. Both managers have a different mindset (imo) than the two last night. Put it this way I don't expect a 5-4 score line tonight, doub't it will be that over two legs.
You watch what will happen now

Reading in the morning papers fans saying they might not be able to bare watching the match tonight after last nights masterclass, just cancel it
