00:00It's a major final and obviously every player didn't show up other than probably Virgil, if I'm being honest.
00:05And that's the disappointment thing, you know.
00:08You can be really despondent about losing games, of course, and losing finals.
00:14But the fact is that you were never really in the game sort of makes it a little bit easier to accept defeat, if that makes sense.
00:22For whatever reason, whether it's been the culmination of playing lots of games in so many days,
00:28mental tiredness or physical tiredness, that could have played a part.
00:33But I just think Newcastle were the better team, so I don't think anyone watching the game would have any complaints if you were a Liverpool fan.
00:41Because you put your hand up and say there was a game there to be won, but Newcastle were by far the better team.
00:50And if we're being honest, 2-1 flattered Liverpool.
00:53It wasn't a 2-1 scoreline.
00:55It could have been more.
00:57I think certainly from an offensive point of view, we're not the Liverpool that we've seen this season.
