Real Madrid 1-0 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

We simply aren't good enough against quality teams , we have had decent chances but just too slow in the execution ,Alli saving our arses from a drubbing tonight

Obviously it was never gonna happen anyway, but taking Nunez off was absolutely hilarious

VVD is done. By no means should be a certain start for us moving forward, same goes for Fabinho.

Apart from the keeper there's no player you'd cry your eyes out if they left.

Think Gakpo has been physically weak tonight

Looked like a school boy up against this lot

Could be said about a few of ours.

He is against one of the best in the world right now and sometimes you just have to hold your hand up and say you were schooled by the better player. As opposed to the match Long battering he has got

Players who are well off the world's best do the same to Trent on a regular basis though.

..."Quality teams"....Like Bournemouth?

Side ways

Sideways

Back pass

Sideways

Go out to wing

Put in a sh*t cross

On the back foot

Rinse and repeat

Week in week out

you cant play with our midfield. you just can't

Are you implying that 43yo Milner and 43yo-form Fabinho are not good enough to face 14 times UCL winners Real Madrid?

That's a bold take.

People can blame players like VVD, TAA and Fab etc to an extent but the lack of quality refreshments our midfield has had in the last 2/3 years has fu**ed us over.

We need to Cancelo Trent. I'm done with him, I'd rather have a player who can defend over someone who can't be arsed.

7th our best hope I think.

Can't see how we get ahead of Spurs or Newcastle and a matter of time before Brighton overtake us too. Think ourselves and Chelsea will be battling as hard as possible to avoid that Conference League spot.

Brighton beat Palace tonight

..."Quality teams"....Like Bournemouth?

, Bournemouth had absolutely nothing to lose and wanted it more than us

Aggregate of 6-2. Has to be the worst European tie defeat?

I think hyypia was better than VVD. For consistency and longevity. Didn’t have the pace but was class.
The injury has destroyed VVD.

Fabio and Kostas. On you go lads. Turn it around please.

Why bother with a change with 1 minute to go

F**k sake

Players who are well off the world's best do the same to Trent on a regular basis though.

Yup any quick never mind good winger has rinsed Trent this season.

This boy wonder that everyone is going on about as the best in the world didn’t do much at the WC.

Just admit Trent is a poor 1 v 1 defender.

Wow Cavalho gets 15 seconds

this is insult to carvalho

People can blame players like VVD, TAA and Fab etc to an extent but the lack of quality refreshments our midfield has had in the last 2/3 years has fu**ed us over.

Still doesn't absolve some of the above from the pitiful performances that we've seen from them this season.

Wow Cavalho gets 15 seconds

More now with this pen decision

F**k off ref !!

He doesn't care

Thats what it looks like, came too early for the lad with good reason, but the pr**k thinks he is there. great 2 or 3 seasons but has not taken his game on and has fallen behind big time, but relying on what he was, bless him, but another manager would have got rid
