I'm as bummed as anyone, but come on. We've had a good string of results for the past several months now. We played very well against WBA for the first 80 minutes. We were beaten on a set piece (yet again) after holding them without a shot for 80+ minutes. It's frustrating, but that's just the way the game goes sometimes.
Like I said earlier, it's a good lesson to learn at this point in the season. This isn't a top 4 side, and probably won't be for at least another full season. These results will happen until some of the young players have the experience to turn a match like this in their favor.
For the past couple months now I've been watching our matches from a different point of view. If we had a legit shot at 4th this season, I would be furious after a result like that. But since it has almost entirely been chalked up to a learning/transition year, a part of me is happy that our players have to go through a loss like that. Hitting rock bottom helps form identity and courage.
I'm all in on the Europa. I want BR to go for it full force. Just making the semis/finals would be a tremendous achievement and really take some pressure off of the squad heading into next season.

Even though LFC is worse off point-wise than they were last year (at this point in the season) at least the club appears to be moving forward. A huge part of that reason is BR. King Kenny was not the manager to take you to the heights the club deserves and strives towards. The organization is taking the right steps for sustained success. I can appreciate that.

I guess this is where i went wrong. I was fully prepared to accept defeat at the hands of other teams this year, but not us defeating ourselves. That's my fault and I've learned the hard way that my initial outlook wasnt open minded enough. It hit me like a ton of bricks over the course of this season and its just a mentality I need to change.
