Can’t believe Alexander-Arnold isn’t getting hammered for that defending.

 

Well, I can…


Come November, they’ll be completely baffled why he hasn’t made the WC squad.

Agree but also think it's just as mad to call them 2 of the top 5 teams ever

 

Not necessarily the top 5 most talented teams ever but they are so much fitter and tactically more advanced than any team in the last century that I'm pretty confident about my statement.

Yes, I usually find that internet arguments are a much better way to find out which football team is better

 

I would bet anything with you that if Real played either team ten times that they wouldn't be the winners of that series hardly ever, 20 games and it's never. But that's the beauty of Cup competitions, anything can happen. Chelsea that were 20 points behind Pool and City in the league should have knocked them out, if Real were in the PL they would be fighting for a CL place with Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal.

That’s gotta be one of the toughest routes to the final I’ve ever seen I reckon 

Barca had a tougher one in 2014/15

 

Group stage ahead of PSG and Ajax who were the winners of their respective leagues.

Knocked out City who were the winner of PL

Knocked out PSG who were the winner of L1

Knocked out Munich who were the winner of Bundesliga

Won the CL vs Juve who were the winner of SA

They can't even beat a team of old men from Madrid with all their fitness

Klopp is outstanding man, he's the German version of Keegan. That interview was brilliant.

 

What did he say?

I’m aware of how cup competitions work.  Liverpool didn’t manage a win against Man City, Spurs or Chelsea in the league this season, mind.

 

You can list on one hand the number of ‘shock’ winners the European Cup has produced - generally, it is won by one of the best sides in Europe.  Likewise, the World Cup doesn’t exactly throw up shock winners.  The thing about ‘anyone can do win a cup’ is one of those great footballing myths - they can of course, but the ‘anyone’ is very rare. 

 

In fairness, I’m now realising that you’re a Liverpool fan, given that I’ve never seen anyone except them refer to Liverpool as ‘Pool’.  Which explains the defensiveness.

That’s Gerrard not even thinking about approaching any Liverpool players for Villa.

 

Thank god we avoided that cunt. Sorry, let me rephrase that: Liverpool affiliated managerial prospect..

He was gutted at losing, but said we'll come back stronger next season. Ready to go again. You really have to watch the interview to get it. It'll be up on Youtube soon enough.

I just read that in a scouse accent ;)

 

Only joking Pata.  I do take your point re cups, but where Real would finish in the PL is unprovable - they walked La Liga

 

Yeah, it's a pointless argument to be fair but so is saying one team is better than the other based on one game. Have a good night mate.
