Liverpool v Real Madrid

[dizzycat]

A year ago (I know Gakpo and Darwin where not with us then but just assume they were for a moment) we would look at that starting XI and see no problems with it.

We would look at that back line and say it is the bext back four we have available ( three of that back four still being in their 20s now) and one of the best back fours in the world. We would say we have the best keeper in the world (personally think he is still either the best or in the top three at the very least).

Now we look at the back four and have doubts about three of them (VVD, TAA and Roberston, though maybe less so about Roberston than the other two).


Fabinho and Milner as a duo vs Madrid back in 2022 we might have thought that they could do a job, but now Fabinho on current form worries me more than Milner because with Milner you still tend to know what you are going to get as long as he is rested.

They only part of the team that stands up still to a large degree is up front, even with Salah not being the force he was and some of the others still settling into the team. Our front line we still know can hurt other teams as long as they get service from the seven players begind them on the pitch. The big problem this season being how slow, obvious and sporadic that help seems to be,

Which is why I think we should play hoof ball tonight. Darwin and Cody are physical enough to mix it up enough to create some chaos and hopefully Salah can feed off some leftovers. Madrid won't expect it and it reduces the chances of our slow midfielders getting caught in possession. TBH I don't care what we do as we have nothing to lose in this game and we have to go for it regardless.

...Klopp needs to pick up a 99p fly away football from the local garage and play with that. Best chance we have of a nil-nil.

We’re going to get ****ed up.

Feels like it . If they score first and our heads go it could get really embarrassing.

Would love to see pro footballers have to play a full game on a full size pitch with one of those balls.

Be truly a battle of the fittest

...that would be the best game... ever!

Nunez clean through from the kickoff, brought down by Courtois who gets sent off. That’s the only scenario that might lead to us going through imo.

...and three more red cards for their midfield in the resulting melee and we're home and hosed.

Nobody's done it in this thread yet, so I'll throw this one out there...

I think RM will have Tchouameni experienced players for us to get something out of this one...

Yeah they are so good they will be in Kroos control by half time.

[spud_gun]

Rodrygo and start with the puns?

[Tribute]

They're gonna Carvajal right through the middle of our defence...

[Tribute]

They're also a bunch of Vinicius little *******s...

[Doc_Piptorious]

I'll need a Militao to come up with another one

Hang on a jota, if our players are virgil-ent early on....

[Irishnev]

Let me hazard a guess here, we are going out tonight
