Reminds me a bit of Dortmund vs Real. The 4-0. 

 

Overwhelmed.  Too fast. Too much quality. 

 

This is a great Liverpool performance. 

 

City being rubbish is as much a key to this. They’ve bottled it.

 

Nah Pep has made stupid decisions.

 

Benching Sterling means as Disco pointed out they can push forward knowing they can't be punished and playing 3 CBs also plays right into what's working for Liverpool.

 

I can pretty much guarantee if they stuck to the usual 433 with two wingers either side of Jesus this wouldn't be happening, but as is usual with every big game fuck up in his career Guardiola has overthought the match up.

Reminds me of when he started changing Barca from 433 to 442 with 4 central midfielders and it just didn't work as well in big games. No idea why he doesn't just trust his usual plan.

 

It's because and he's admitted this publicly so i'm not making it up, he's scared of his team being too easy to predict so tends to adapt the gameplan to make it harder to plan for.

 

It's why he bought Ibra at Barca, funny thing is usually when he does this it ends up fucking the team up. Obviously he's a fantastic manager but everyone has flaws and this is his.

They are the one team I’m confident - would lose in the final.  I can see them getting there beating anyone.  But in the final against Real, Bayern or Barca they will lose imo. Could beat any over 2 legs.

 

 

Assuming they both go through I would like Liverpool vs Real.

 

A bit tired of Bayern vs Real and Real would 100% lose over two legs against Barca in the CL.

Liverpool have been fucking brilliant like. Such a good team to watch at the moment, even the British contingent are flying.

 

Best side to watch in Europe for me at the moment, much prefer their style over say Man City.

I think either English teams loses to any of those 3 tbh.

Pep's one big problem is he doesn't half run right onto the odd counter attacking sword now and then. Needs to be quality counter attacking teams but he refuses to sit deeper. To his credit in some ways but seems a bit odd at this level

No second legs of note on the cards as it stands.

Don't think the Liverpool - City tie is dead at all, especially if Salah is injured for the return leg, even if City don't get a goal here.

Not a chance Liverpool don’t score, Salah or inshallah.
