Liverpool v Real CL 1/4 final second leg

[topscorer]

4 players in danger of missing out next round if we make it...TAA, Gini, Milner & Mane.
Bet you that TAA will continue his spat with Vinicius Jnr & end up with a yellow thus leaving us with Neco for the next round.

To be honest I'd take that if it was offered to me because at least it means we are in the next round.

Without the fans and the form we are in at the moment I'm not oozing confidence.

[Fredo]

Bobby should play tomorrow. Was in good form on Saturday and he’ll cause Real problems if he plays.

[Fosterbloke]

I hope that away goal plays a crucial part tomorrow.

It's an South American thing that is & it's missing from our Brazillian players so whether it's drilled out of them or they are told to cut it out by management.
Suarez & Mascherano were good for that.

Not so sure as the likes of Ramos, Varane, Modric, Kroos, Asensio and Vazquez are all good at the snide arts. Even Mendy gets in on the act for them.

Fabinho is really the only one of our guys that does it and he is really good at it in a not so blatant way. He is very good at sticking in a professional foul similar to how Alonso used to do it and still not look dirty. Kroos does that quite well for Real.

Thiago just thunders in there and then goes 'what? it wasn't me?!'

We have to be at it from the first whistle tonight and that's the big concern for me. So far this season, we seldom look up for it from the kick-off... we're usually all slow build up and possession... and if anything or anyone ****s up in the first few minutes, passing and possession seems to go to **** right across the team.

Hope we have a heavy metal football start and not a whimper... difficult to get going from a whimper...

[Assassin]

It needs to be dry bumming with a pineapple for these cunts tonight. There has to be a sound recording of the crowd from the Barca game that can be played during the game to help.....

Let’s give them a proper battering

[Big-Red-Ed]

After last week's result I had completely written this off but a 2 nil win isn't the biggest ask ever. You never really know. As technically gifted as their mid field 3 is if we really get at them with a high tempo they might crack. Let's at least have a go and go down fighting.

If we start slow, we're ****ed and we'll be on the back foot again. I know Real played quick and up tempo from the start last week but with 3-1 advantage, I can see them sitting a little deeper and looking to catch us on the break or with a set piece. They don't need to force it... we do.

Looking forward to it but also reckon if we go a goal behind, heads will drop and it'll be a similar scoreline to last week. Trying to be positive but we need to score first or it's done and dusted.

We've really gonna need to go after Modric and Kroos, don't give them time on the ball.

Here's my team:

Becker
TAA - Phillips - Kabak - Robertson
Gini - Milner
Firmino
Mane - Salah - Jota

I don't think that Klopp would go for it - and it's a risk not playing Thiago but but but. Having Gini's energy is really important plus Milner's smarts in the middle, I'd just go with that. Firmino's in to hassle Modric and Kroos into mistakes.

Salah through the middle, Jota in his favoured position and the out-of-form Mane to work hard to help out TAA.

Easy-peasy

[BigChief]

Is Fabinho injured?

No Fabinho?!

I’d go same formation but Fabinho Thiago as the 2.

Forgot about him.

Can we get away with 12 players on the pitch?

[El Diego]

That’s the exact team I just text my mate! Got a feeling he’s going to go 4-3-3 with a midfield of Fab, Gini & Milner

TAA - Phillips - Kabak - Robertson

Sorry I put Fab instead of Gini, he’s been pretty poor the last few games
