Liverpool 2-5 Real Madrid: In game and Post Match discussion

Anfield hosting the Mighty Reds against Real






Starting XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Bajcetic, Henderson, Nunez, Salah, Gakpo.

Subs: Adrian, Kelleher, Milner, Keita, Firmino, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Elliott, Jota, Tsimikas, Carvalho, Matip.

Liverpool name an unchanged line-up for tonight’s UEFA Champions League tie with Real Madrid at Anfield.

The Reds elect to go with the same XI that started Saturday’s win at Newcastle United for the last-16, first-leg encounter.

Quality OP!  No changes - not a surprise in terms of quality but I am surprised to see VVD, Fabinho and Henderson playing again after Saturday evening.

Does Jürgen like to stick with a settled winning team or what !

We owe RM a performance.

CMON BOYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Courtois
Carvajal Militão Rüdiger Alaba
Valverde Camavinga Modric Rodrygo Vinícius
Benzema

Benzema starts.

Early team announcement. Nunez made it. Strong bench at last. We will need to get players in the box and also shoot a bit more. Expect Nunez to cut in and do that. Gakpo has shown he can play wide and pop up along the front line..clever player.

Does Jürgen like to stick with a settled winning team or what !

We owe RM a performance.

CMON BOYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surely this time we have them, a bit of magic, an own goal, a sending off - something to get us going!

CMON the Reds go out and smash them tonight, we owe them a battering !

Alright, let's do this.

Got a good feeling about this one. Need Hendo and Fab to bring their A game.
Joe to make sure he covers Trent.
No going asleep on set pieces and make sure that far post is covered.
Bajcetic to strut his stuff and the front 3 to bang the chances in.
They clearly getting their range now, and complimenting each other much better.

F**k, I’m changing my prediction from 2-0 to 3-0
Get it won tonight

Had to go with same side really plenty of options on bench if needed . Come on boys let's do this I actually fancy us to go all way if we can navigate this

Surely this time we have them, a bit of magic, an own goal, a sending off - something to get us going!

if Jürgen ever asks you to do the prematch talk FFS decline  .
I feel this is our night  a goo dnight to put out a statement

fancy that Ferdinand going for Real Madrid it actually suits us fine

Staying with the same X1 is a real boost for everyone, the confidence will rise another notch and that’s no bad thing, absolutely fantastic for young Bacj, how many 18yr olds get to start in a CL KO match, he’s deserved it and he won’t be fazed one little bit,

We owe these Cnuts big time, I still haven’t forgiven them for that final when that dirty Cnut Ramos took Salah out, for that alone, I’d love us to smash 4 past them, they are obviously still a force and very dangerous but I also think they rely on opponents showing too much respect for them, like a rabbit in the headlights becoming static,

That’s not us of course, and they will be aware of our capabilities, Carlo is a shrewd operator and will have done his own due diligence, I believe RM will let us have the ball, frustrate the sh*t out of us and try the sucker punch 1-1 or even a 0-1,  if we can fire three past them it’s game over for me, for we will then have the upper hand in the second leg,


Got a good feeling for this, hammering Blueshite and getting past Toon has set us up very nicely, confidence high, under the lights on European nights is always special, our incredible support and the fact we’re due a win all bodes well.

Heart says 3-1, head says 2-0


LETS FUCKIN DO THIS !!!!!





Hope over Fear !!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ferdinand saying Real will not be phased by this atmosphere seem to remember Barca saying the same thing .Its not the atmosphere they need to worry about its what it does to our players who find that extra gear that blows team away

Might need to win it this year to guarantee being in it next...Going for a weird scoreline 4-1

Happy with that team. I feel alot rests on Fabinho and Henderson to bring their A game and experience tonight. We owe these big time.

Have i quantum leaped into a alternative lfcreds, usually the neg heads are spunking their bile, but f**k my luck the positivity in these boards is very very welcoming, keep it up lads & ladettes, Lovin it 

Wouldn’t surprise me if they park the bus like they did in the final and try and get a set piece or counter.

If we ever needed a performance this season, we need it now reds, Jürgen, let the dogs out and go for it

Ferdinand is full of sh*te as usual, you can’t honestly expect this camel faced Manc fuckpig to want us to win, we’ve all seen the footage of the Cnut celebrating goals against us, he’s supposed to be impartial ffs, he’s employed for his professional opinions good or bad, and most definitely not banging on the studio windows celebrating goals against us !!!!




CNUT !!!!

See they have flown in Kroos this afternoon. CA must be thinking they didn't have enough without him.
Need everyone to be on their toes for this one - fingers crossed all goes according to plan and our boys find their rhythm and get into gear as soon as that whistle blows.
PS - what a n*b Ferdinand is.... this is going to be another watch with no commentary - they do my head in!

SKY pundits all go for RM so this is exactly what we like being underdogs.

No change there then - if we were playing the Sunday Leaguers SKY would go for them over us!
