That’s a very good point that people tend to underestimate. Mistakes are made more often when players are tired, and I imagine you’ll be playing every game from now at full intensity.
Agreed. I still think City will win every game left though. Let's see how they respond to this crushing ending to their quadruple hopes on Saturday...
I think if they come out and go up early then it's a clear sign they are going to win every game from there.
We'll be on for the PL+CL double at the beginning of May and will end up with empty hands a month after, is what I'm fully expecting to happen.
Yup. I win £500 if it happens, so I can't be too mad, but still
I'll hate you forever for it cos you'll obviously have jinxed it you feckerYup. I win £500 if it happens, so I can't be too mad, but still
Ward off bad luck?
It's hard to say what it's going to do to their morale now. I wanted them to go through tonight so they had the added stretch of games, but I do think they'll concentrate strongly on the league now starting with beating Spurs at the weekend. Spurs didn't even get a result here tonight, just got the away goals and tie overall they needed. The only positive is the way in which they lost as to them winning it in which they nearly did. Who knows it might work as a catalyst anyway for them to put it right.
Think Liverpool will score at Camp Nou. With the high Barca line their front 3 will get a big chance at some stage, just whether they can convert it as Man. United obviously couldn't in first ten minutes.
Espérons
Yeah that’s definitely going to happen. We never come through the other side of these situations positively any more.
Benitez always gives them the 3 points, without fail.
I'm worried about Cardiff. They've had some cracking games against the top 6 this season, and are still in with a chance of PL survival. Plus it's a home game for them, so I can't rule them out.
Yeah this is what I'm worried will happen. This club builds us up on journey like the 2016 and 2018 ones and suddenly you're left wanting to swap seasons with United's poor one because you know you'll be the one laughing at the end.
They're nothing. We thrashed them.
Feck no. The run-ins are what make it all thick for me, just like Tommy this is the most excited I've been about our games since the 13/14 title run. We're still in with a shout for our two main goals at the beginning of the last month of the season, that's been a brilliant season regardless but I fear we might indeed miss out on the cerry on the cake.
Chelsea were expected to thrash them yet had to be bailed out by officials on multiple occasions.
Agreed. I'd take a season of good times & moments with a disappointing end than a season of dreary shite followed by a bit of schadenfreude.
Ahh but this is Warnock we're talking about, old senile fool won't let that Benitez/Fulham result drop all them years ago that helped relegate his beloved Sheffield United.
Depends how dramatic the schadenfreude is...
VVD own goal that Allison spills between his legs from a questionable handball movement from De Ligt in our box?
Nah, these are quality players now, brought in by a proper, top level manager.VVD own goal that Allison spills between his legs from a questionable handball movement from De Ligt in our box?
Even I laughed at Karius last year. I was in the match day thread taking the piss out of him.
Nah, they want the PL more, and will be more of a nightmare if they get it.
First of all, you do understand that Varane was 19 in 2013 and CB played in RB position. Thats the usual route young Indxperienced have to take before they prove their worth. Then Marcela didnt start in first leg.
But Klopp hasnt lost a two-legged european tie in last 3 years. While Barca is kinda unbeaten at camp nou. This tie will be more exciting and unpredictable, more then any of us think. I think Messi's magic is going to decide the tie.
Well the way Barca retain the possesion can also hurt them. As Barca havent faced a team like Liverpool which is so good at pressing. This might force Barca to attack quick as their will space behind liverpool's defense. If Barca can get the ball to messi as quickly as possible while liverpool is pressing high. It can guve messi lot of time and space to work his magic. But if Barca tries to keep the ball too much, they end up giving away the ball and liverpool is really good in those situations. Though liverpool will play this style only at anfield if they are level or behind Barca by that stage.
Relax. Messi will tear them a new one. He has that 'man on a mission' vibe lately, and when he's in that zone he never ends up on the losing side. With his arch rival getting knocked out and him getting closer to his final years, he will do anything to get that CL trophy (maybe even his last considering Barca are getting closer to the expiration date of their greatest iteration).
I am not sure, bud. Barcelona didn't look very good in either legs. Messi also was kept quiet by us in the first leg pretty easily. Barca and Messi came into the game only after we started shooting ourselves in the foot. I think Liverpool's style of football is exactly what they'll hate. Liverpool are going to blitz them and their slow midfield and defense won't be able to deal with it. I just cannot see Barca come of that tie a winner.
TrueClassic Caf that just has to be black or white, nothing else. Either we'll trash them or Messi will tear us apart, there is no middle ground
If VAR doesn't overrule that third Sterling goal, the Pochettino thread is no doubt bumped for entirely different reasons - mostly by the same people Small margins and all that, but it's true yeah. I wasn't quite sure if I wanted City to progress or not, but I think I like it this way. No quadruple at least, and hopefully it'll dent their confidence and boost Spurs' belief that they can get something at the Etihad on Saturday (and if not, United to the rescue during midweek action).True
