Big final experience means SFA if you don`t actually win any of them.

It is all down to who turns up on the day
Spurs aren't lacking experience IMO. What could be the biggest factor is how both teams react after 3 weeks off.
Non debate.
Our players are not short of big match experience as we have plenty of World cup semi finalists and the winning captain but nobody new would ever win anything if it was important. I predict the team that scores the most goals will win it.
Liverpool players have big final experience and keep losing them.
personally i see our naivety as an advantage. we are the massive underdog.
fancy us for the win tbh
naivety is the wrong word, but maybe inexperience so we just enjoy it rather than let pressure build

big game.. but clearly far more pressure on Liverpool than spurs... we have far exceeded expectations to get here... you were here, and lost, last year...
you are also much the better team, based on this season's prem campaign, so are widely expected to sweep us aside.
very little pressure on us
It's anyones game.
I think it will be decided by small margins - VAR, penalties etc

You're the underdog but you expect to win?
Sure that's a direct contradiction?

underdogs don't win games then?
spurs are the kind of team who thrive on being an underdog... imo.

I really don't get this no pressure lark
Its the biggest game of footy in your clubs history and the biggest club game in the world this season
No pressure then
It’s quite clear Liverpool are favourites for this game probably overwhelmingly too.
There's a thing about Spurs that many people notice that is almost undeniable, and is the reason a lot of people call us 'bottlers' or 'Spursy' (sometimes unnecessarily): when the pressure is on us, we will fail.
It's been seen many times over the past few years. Off the top of my head, the loss to Portsmouth at Wembley, losing the huge gap over Arsenal to finish behind them, numerous times where we've been playing a match against beatable opposition where if we won we'd be top of the league, and failing to win that match.
Whereas when the pressure is off us, i.e. we've got to a point where no one expects anything from us in any given situation, we tend to thrive.
Looking at our CL group from day one, even though a tough group, I made us better than Inter and therefore favourites to go through in 2nd place. We got one point from three games and everyone thought we were out, and we pulled it out of the bag.
No one that I know made us favourites against Dortmund. We got through convincingly.
City speaks for itself doesn't it? Should have really hammered us.
Ajax was intriguing as it was close to 50/50, some even made us favourites, and this was alien to us, you could tell. Favourites in a CL semi final? The home leg we played nervy, not really sure how to play it. It took us to go 3-0 down in the tie, looking completely down and out, before we once again pulled it out of the bag when the 'pressure' was off.
So I think this is what my fellow Spurs fans are eluding to with the 'pressure' being off us being in our favour. It's fair to say, I think, that more people would be surprised if we beat you than if you beat us. Recent history, none more so than this very CL campaign, says that this seems to suit us down to the ground.

Exactly.
While I don’t subscribe to the no pressure remarks as let’s be real it’s a huge final so there’s pressure no matter what but you are the favourites and we are the underdogs.
SpursBoy put it brilliantly
We tend to mess up when favourites or “need” to win to go top etc etc
When backs to the wall and the underdog brings out the best in spurs and always has
Liverpool have lost their last 4 finals, and Klopp his last 6. It’s analgous to our terrible FA cup semi record where we’ve lost 8 in a row. These things mess with players heads. Remember when we couldn’t beat Chelsea for about 20 years? Different players but it’s something about the weight of history
Different players but it’s something about the weight of history

And Chelsea being better.
Personally I think whoever handles the situation better will win. Who that us I have no idea.
