Momentum changer. the first goal was such a gift that heads dropped. But shocking the way they seemed to give up.
Tipp v Limerick 1981
Crystal Palace - Liverpool game after Gerrard slip
United 4 all draw with Everton 2012
Dublin Cork League semi final last year
Happens all the time to extent there is a phrase to describe it
And 1996
True
Or 1992, 1996 and 2007 (twice)

It can and it does. You go across any sport you care to choose and you’ll find any number of mistakes (even after they are made) not really changing score in a game or a season but change the dynamic and trigger a collapse.
- Botham’s 149 at Headingley in 1981, Australia still only needed to knock off 120 odd runs to win.
- Steve Davis missing easy frame ball yellow to go 9-0 up on Taylor, but still held a handy 8-1 lead.
- Johnny Dooley’s goal from the 21 yard free, Limerick still had a useful lead after dominating from off.
As @balbec said - momentum changers.

A team can be very vulnerable when they have had the momentum and plenty chances to build up an unassailable lead and fail to do so. Liverpool should have been at least 2 or even 3 up at the break, and could then afford to play defensively, but being pegged back when they felt they should have had the game won can be demoralizing. Galway 2012 drawn final and 2015 are examples, had a good stretch of dominance but failed to put scores on the board. You need to put the boot on your opponent’s throat when you get your chance.
A wall at the Heysel Stadium, 1985.
im not so sure we can call this a collapse per se
they were only 1 up and the game was tight, ill be captain obvious here but its not like say 94 and Limerick well up going into the last 10 or Milan 3 up and cruising in 05
Liverpool have a lack of gumption, that’s klopp’s fifth successive final loss also
what happened with Moreno at the beginning of the second half for their goal was a game changer, but you could see signs in the first half where Seville had potential,
Milner was an absolute headless chicken in the first 45, i dont think he touched the ball in the second half, occasion got to him i think and also, once Seville scored the blood and thunder high octance approach in the first half he adopted wasnt working as he had to get out and try and play, a very average player who was badly exposed, it was no suprise to see Lallana go missing.
But, Seville were no mugs, Tony Cottee was lethal up front and should have scored with that bicyle kick after half hour
sporting collapse?? im not having it here… blatantly not good enough is the answer
Liverpool again next season…
