Having the second leg away isn’t ideal but from what I’ve been hearing, Bayern aren’t brilliant at the moment.Surely you lot will destroy that Bayern team especially at anfield. They are so lethargic it’s unreal
Bayern, Real Madrid and us all under performing this season.Having the second leg isn’t ideal but from what I’ve been hearing, Bayern aren’t brilliant at the moment.
Real Madrid aren’t underperforming. They are at the level one expects when one of the best players ever to play the game leaves the clubBayern, Real Madrid and us all under performing this season.
Pep's scarf distracted his players.
Taylor was a disgrace today. If I were a City supporter I would be furious.He moans an awful lot about refs for someone who's team have benefited massively from referee decisions. VVD should've been sent walking against Napoli with a much worse challenge than what Kompany did.
VVD is banned for that game and they're atrocious away from home in CL this year.Surely you lot will destroy that Bayern team especially at anfield. They are so lethargic it’s unreal
Aren't Real closer to the top of the league than they were this time last year?Bayern, Real Madrid and us all under performing this season.
Actually I feel more comfortable going into it with Kovac (usually I would not think like that) than with Pep as I know for sure that Kovac will try to play more pragmatic. With Pep and CL matches it was always that he wanted to control the first matches - what is poisonous against teams like Liverpool. But it will hurt us that Müller is not playing for sure the first - but maybe even the second match. James instead of him might make sense with another opponent but you will not win this match by playing pretty but by playing pragmatic. Müller with his workrate and the pairing with Lewy as targetmen - and Coman and Gnabry with their speed but workrate when needed could work really fine. Lewy alone might be too "thin" and manageable for the Liverpool defense. And the others in a compact deep block. Beating him with his own recipe. The biggest mistake you can make is to play an open game against opponents like this. We seldom won like this against Dortmund either - only during periods in which they were weak.How’re you feeling about the CL tie?
Won the first seven matches of this season - then they had problems - and won 6 out of seven of the last seven matches (only drew against Ajax and there the draw was enough to win the group). Oh, they are for sure not brillant. But they went successfully out of the crisis they had in October. And you never know what happened. There is lot that have doubt about Kovac's coaching. But atleast he sat together with Ribery, Neuer, Lewy and Müller and after that they changed to a 4-2-3-1 with double six and hanging striker again (the system that the team seems to work best with) and since then they are on the rise. I still think that the season can go into all directions. There is no rifts in the team. And even the mole was quiet in the recent weeks.Having the second leg away isn’t ideal but from what I’ve been hearing, Bayern aren’t brilliant at the moment.
I get that he's an inspirational coach & has great tactics & can spot a player who will fit his system.
Perfect simple explanation how business works!Net spend is complex and can't be worked out by fans on a forum unless you understand how the football business works, or any business for that matter. Anyway, you need access to the accounts of a club. Smartly run or rich clubs will have franchises around the world and other assets to protect their businesses and make more money.
When a club buys a player on a typical five year contract, the buying club will usually pay the selling club a set amount of money per year, not in one go unless the selling club demands it.
It's a lot like financing for a car or mortgage. Here's a simple example, excuse the shoddy maths:
Liverpool agree to purchase Alisson from Roma for a total of £65 million which will paid over a period of five years.
There might be an upfront fee + the yearly/monthly payments.
Liverpool pay £25million upfront, then additional 8 million per year for the next five years.
Then consider all these fees:
Agent and lawyer fees both clubs will pay.
An insurance policy has to be taken out on the player.
Player's wages.
Why do you pay in instalments?
Because Liverpool's money is making money elsewhere!
You don't pay it all in one go otherwise you lose out on interest.
If Liverpool have 100 million in the bank, they are making 10k in interest PER DAY. Take 65 million out and you are making half in interest straightaway.
Oh come on, he's so genuine. I mean laughing when asked what's his assessment of the game. Whats wrong with that?I get that he's an inspirational coach & has great tactics & can spot a player who will fit his system.
But he's so full of shit, it's unbelievable.
It almost looked like he'd prepared a celebration and then was like ah shit it's in my pocket.What was he doing to that bottle?
That's quite a fair point, .Do you guys actually watching full pressers of klopp?
Even I can't be bothered with that. Jeez.
It's a bit of a mix. Games like Arsenal, United and Spurs away he clearly got right. Even Chelsea away wasn't a bad result.Seems to get things wrong in the big games. Too negative last night and should have started Fabinho.
Klopp and Pep are probably two of the best managers at the moment but c'mon they provide comedic value when they lose. Pep looks so coked up and Klopp forgets to put periods in his sentences.Do you guys actually watching full pressers of klopp?
Even I can't be bothered with that. Jeez.
That Henderson-Milner-Wijnaldum midfield almost cost them in the CL, didn't it? They lost all 3 away games with that midfield.Diabolical selection in his midfield is the reason they lost IMO. You can't play that trio against a midfield with two players that are strictly attackers. Playing Fabinho and Keita with Henderson would have helped them put more pressure on those playmakers when they had the ball and given their counters more bite.
I think we started Keita in Naples but had to switch when he got injured.That Henderson-Milner-Wijnaldum midfield almost cost them in the CL, didn't it? They lost all 3 away games with that midfield.
