Real Madrid (a) build up

[Bender]

I'd play it tight and try to nick something on the break.

Real Madrid thrive on exploiting space, and playing our normal game is basically asking them to go in dry with our blessing.

play it tight? With our defenders

Exactly it's not going to happen that's why IMO we should line up to attack them.

And every 2.5 minutes leave Lovren one on one with Benzema/Bale/Ronaldo/Rodridgues?

I think not. We don't want to lose by double figures because our defence is capable of that.

What with Dan

good point

But 2 up top with the diamond is a where we function best IMO.

[alonso14]

Theres very little we can do to stop real Madrid. We dont have any firepower in attack that will worry Madrid and we don't have any defensive resilience to hold them off.

We need to accept were playing the better team who have better players in every position and also have the better manager.

I have never felt so pessimistic about a match before. Real are just too good for us.

BR don't like 2 up front and he ditched the diamond for a doughnut

You can't sit back against that not with what we have. IMO the best way to play against them is to go at them & take the game to them.

They'll most likely beat us anyways but if we go and try play the same **** we did at Newcastle & try to rely on our defence, we will be ****ed.

But i think Rodgers we play safe & hope not to get thrashed.

Oh and i would never start Lovren ever again..ever

[Buzzo]

I wish Brendan would stop gently fellating Real with all the 'Bale and Ronaldo could be Olympic Sprinters', 'Best team in the World', 'I'd love to manage in Spain' bull****. It may all be true, but they hardly need bigging up by us when we are about to play them. Its all a bit small time.

Its times like this that I miss Mascherano, who better to rake a stud down a Madrid shin, or scythe Ronaldo down in a 'competitive' 50-50, someone to at least show them they won't get it all their own way. Sounds like we are heading over there for a nice day trip but to basically bend over and take one from the 'fantastic' Real team. Looks like we hope to win the other games to get through.

I don't like this mentality at all.

Aye, he'll play one isolated up top, make us sit deep, pack the mid & hope it's a low scoreline.

Ancelotti had an orgasm over Anfield, praised Sterling and other players of ours, theres enough to criticise at the mo without getting worked up over stuff that happens every week from every manager.

Rodgers is on a hiding to nothing. If we go all out and attack them and get beat 6 nil he will get blasted. If we play cautious and we get hammered by 5, we will say there was a complete lack of ambition shown by him.

Whatever he does he will be taken apart for it if we are beaten heavily. I would rather lose 6-3 and have a go than lose 5-0 and show nothing.

Exactly if we're going to get beaten, at least have a go.

I'm not worked up about it, I only first thought of it about ten minutes ago.

Its a lethargy and attitude though isn't it. My point is we should show a bit more steel, we are going to war not on holiday.

Ancelloti can say what he wants and love Anfield and Sterling, they beat us easily. We are the ones up against it and need to show some fight, show them that losing to them hurt us, stop going on about how good they are. Show that you are pissed of about it.
