Real Madrid Vs Liverpool

[Modo]

Of course it is.

 

[cloggypop]

RH2 started the thread and Jason is gonna use his voodoo magicke. We will batter them.

 

[tony]

I'm strangely optimistic about tonight so, fuck the naysayers, I've backed us at 15/1 on Betfair.

Sir, I like the cut of your jib!
Fuck with all this negitivity - lets save that for after the match if needed

 

[mark1975]

What about 20 fuck ups per game johnson versus bright young spark manquillo?

That as well, you're preaching to the converted on that one.

 

[Mystic]

This has to go down as one of the oddest games I'm preparing myself to watch. I'm so utterly convinced we'll lose I'm not sure I see the point in making the effort. Still stranger results have happened so you never know I suppose.

Rub that bloody pig!

 

[Oncy]

We're battering the Real U21s should be about 3 in front.......

Its 1-1

🙁

 

[Jerry Laser]

Astute tactical management needed for this one.....

4-5-1 deffo

-------------------Mingo---------------------

Glenjo------Skrtel----Lovren--Enrique

------------Lucas------Hendo-----------

-------Sterling---Gerrard----Coutinho

-------------------Borini-------------------

Thats as hard a working side as we have at present.....

 

[Oncy]

And now we are losing.
Its true that we are trying to implement the same things at all levels of the club.

 

[Leo]

And we give away a stupid penalty just to kill off any hopes we might have had.
3 1 Madrid.

 

[leftpeg]

I can't ever remember feeling so pessimistic about a game. I wish I could summon up a single positive thought...but I can't. We're going to get twatted.

 

[Oncy]

I agree Peggy.

I almost wish we would play Suso and some kids to at least give me some shit to be happy about.

 

[tombrown]

I can't bear it. And it's on ITV as well - that means Chiles and Tyldsley will be adding to the discomfort.

But that also means a run-out for Old Faithful, doesn't it @Judge Jules ?

Guaranteed steely 1-0 win

Heh. We beat them at home though the other week.

 

[Buddha]

0-1. Balotelli to come off the bench and grab a late winner.

 

[Buddha]

1-0 Liverpool is 50/1!

54/1 I'm on!

 

[ILD]

0-0 is 28/1. Grind it out lads.

No Joe Allen?


We need to hustle them. An aggressive 4-6-0 ought to do it.

Given we're going to likely set up like Chelsea at Anfield, that's not a bad price. Geddon bey!

 

[Gary25]

An unfortunate final sentence.But I've asked this before - what is logical about reacting to your best team under-performing by playing those who you've previously judged not to be worth putting in your best team? It's no good putting quotation marks around your best team and then turning the squad upside down. Do you think we haven't been playing our best team this season? If not, why not? If we have, why act as a cheerleader for not playing the best team, or 'best team,' tonight? There's just no rigour in these arguments at all.

Fact is "our best team's been shit all season", so you're happy enough for us to persist with it every game and suddenly everything clicks? I'd have thought there's more chance of that happening with a few changes in personnel...albeit that's highly unlikely to be the case tonight.

Old Faithful will absolutely be on duty tonight (though Real's excellence was too much for it in the first leg unfortunately). Can't do much to shield myself from the studio punditry - which will include Paul Scholes, and I can imagine what result he's hoping for - but I'll be sparing myself Tyldesley and Townsend's commentary by muting the sound and replacing it with Five Live on the radio.

 

[Farkmaster]

I'm more convinced by Jason's poetry.

I tried to scan that poem and now I have OCD.

[the_dude]

i'm looking forward to this game more now. at least get to see what some players are made of

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

That's a very strong bench.

 

[dmishra]

No Gerrard, Coutinho, Henderson or Sterling. So he's rested pretty much our best players.

I don't know what to make of it. It's horribly defeatist, but perhaps some of the players who've actually been picked might want to showcase themselves a bit.

Toure and Skrtel against Ronaldo & co. though. Gulp.
