Not win the first leg 4-1 away seems to be the answerAt least this game should provide copious data for the video sessions about what not to do for the next stage.
Woah pump the breaks
Chelsea? Chill out.
Amazing analysis. Don't you think having a crowd might help Liverpool with their form at home?
By the way thanks for Keylor!Not win the first leg 4-1 away seems to be the answer
Just heard both Verratti and Marquinhos too, and yeah, you can't deal with a big lead
interesting.
No doubt it would , but that applies to every team.
I'm well chilled. Why not? It's a cup competition luck of the draw and all that and only two seasons ago Tottenham reached the final.
Yea I think so too. Bayern probs the biggest favorites to win the whole thing this season, with City and PSG as the 2 big outsiders. I rate City over PSG easily, and wouldnt mind a final between Bayern and City - with Bayern crushing them there.
I think 2 games in a neutral venue with no fans is about as fair as it gets for deciding who's a better team.
Losing home advantage was a big thing for Leipzig though as they are strong at home , they beat us there yet we smashed them in Old Trafford , and recently Liverpool have been awful in Anfield.
Yep, he's a class act. Not complaining about Courtois but Flo's obsession with a new keeper never made sense
He reminds me another fellow french n9
Yeah they actually had a good chance of turning around the tie last night. They dominated possesion and created the most chances. If Dembele was a good finisher they could have had at least 2 or 3 goals from him in first half, and then Messi fecked up his penalty and had a fairly decent chance in the box. He scored a nice screamer though and created the most chances, but I'd still consider it a mixed performance.
Nice hindsight. But we had Gomez and Matip injured almost immediately after VvD. Rhys Williams was tried and it was suicidal. Nat was good but new and needed Matip or Gomez or VvD next to him to bring him up to speed. None of the above were available. So it had to be Fabinho until we got someone in (at the end of) the transfer window. Despite popular myth we're not a Chelsea or City that can throw £50m at an ordinary defender on 1st Jan.
A seemingly recurring motif. Afterall, after being 3-0 up at home versus Liverpool, it was Dembele missing an absolute sitter that ended up being oh so crucial after losing the 2nd leg to them.
And he cost around 140 mil euro's for that.
Atalanta could still surprise Madrid I think. They were down to 10 men for most of the first leg and were still competitive.
Yep, that's what I've been saying too. Henderson as well.
