KaKa Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 14 minutes ago, Gallowgate Toon said: Liverpool obviously have a very good team but I thought it was pretty noticeable how pedestrian their midfield looked against a smart (but getting on a bit) midfield once the top 3 were kept relatively at bay. Thiago had a good spell in the first half where he was dictating rhythm but, outside, of that, I thought they lacked someone with intent to break lines, change tempo, and get in the box. I guess Keita was meant to do that but he falls into a similar bracket as being someone tidy & effective rather than an explosive difference maker. Yeah, definitely. They are apparently after Tchouameni from Monaco, and so it looks like something they will be trying to address this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't keep his body in shape for his professional career (which needs it) how can we trust his mind is still in good shape. He's having a super-mare. He had a fucking nightmare refereeing our game against Liverpool a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, the fat cunt is retiring now. Well, he's going to be operating VAR.

Modric did that more and he's 36 and spent 45 minutes chasing shadows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Classic deflection from the French, industrial scale fraud with no evidence, crowd disturbances with no evidence, thousands of ticketless fans with no evidence. The only evidence I've seen are a few liverpool fans going through a barrier and climbing a wall outside the ground, and French police pepper spraying and tear gassing people standing behind a fence Don't let them convince you otherwise and turn fans against fans, this was an organisational problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 My mate was over their with his wife and kid and he said it was chaos, yes fans without tickets, including French people and Madrid fans, people with fake tickets, but the access to the stadium was shocking, at times dangerous and whenever any LFC fan complained they were met with indifference or brutality. Thankfully they got in (late) and got in and out safe. He said the whole experience was a shit show in terms of organisation. He also said there was no fighting between the two sets of fans or French or police from what he could gather. I dislike LFC and a portion of their fanbase, but footy fans get a raw deal in general. Compare to other ‘entertainment’ events like music, Formula 1 etc… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 No bigger indictment of the Liverpool midfield than Toni Kroos completing 90 minutes. In each KO tie Kroos has come off because he had been over-run and outplayed but here Kroos did what he wanted for 90 minutes. Henderson did Henderson things. Ultimately not a danger when on the ball. Thiago - think he was carrying an injury. Was very poor. Didn't play those passes through the lines that he's brought in for. Keita played nervously when he came on. I think ultimately a Klopp midfield is going to lack a bit of guile unless they can spot the monsters. I think Fede Valverde is a monster. He doesn't have that guile but he's able to carry the ball through midfield. But it's rare you get an 8 with tremendous physical prowess to get through the running, the work rate and the guile. Seedorf, KDB but you can't think of many. I guess prime Lampard and Gerrard give you that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Iniesta was born in 1984 and Modric 85 - crazy to think. One just lifted the CL for a 5th time and the other is getting relegated in Japanese football. Reminds me that someone on here said Xabi Alonso and Paul Scholes were better than Modric.

black_n_white Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Disappointing to lose that one vs Poland. Was our second eleven though plus tbh nothing really matters other than that game on Sunday.

Flip Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Italy v Argentina in this made up Finalissima shit. Argentina going to take it very seriously though as they have a long streak since their last lost. Hope Italy does them. Scotland v Ukraine is also going to be interesting. Both teams as average as Wales. Going to be tight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
