Liverpool let down by poor finishing and frustrated by deep defending in big games

Liverpool have more trophies than goals in cup finals this season. Yes, you read that correctly. They have gone 330 minutes of major showdowns this campaign without scoring a single goal, yet have the FA Cup and Carabao Cup to show for their work.

From their three finals, the first two went to penalties after two goalless draws at Wembley. Where their usual attacking flair fell short, they fell back on their hardy defence, and that was enough to carry them to two successes in nervy shootouts.

The Champions League final was a different prospect although, though.
