Vinicius world class today

Vinicius world class today

He's a level above Dembele

Dembele will never make a difference in CL final or CL KOs the way Vinicius can

Which is not to say Vini's level is crazy high...more that Dembele mostly flatters to deceive in the biggest games

Fabinho has declined so much in the space of a year.

 

[jairzinho]

And even then we suck in Europe. Something is very wrong with our team.

High intensity football isn't our thing. That's where we usually struggle.

True. Vini is on a different level. More aggressive player. Dembele is too much of a nice guy.

RM will adopt Pool and Bayern en route to fluking another CL trophy

Been waiting for these fucks to get humiliated but none of PSG, City, or Pool have been able to finish the job.

That last years campaign made me realize they have somehow mastered the art of CL football. They just know when to turn up the intensity and it helps all the luck is on their side

Fabinho moving like he is Busquets.

I mean Pique, Garcia and the rest of our 2nd row defence was on a mission this season in CL. Pretty sure we will be up there next season (and United as well) looking at the current "top" teams.

More down to shite tactical decisions this season and last.

Man Utd was latest example.

Most of Klopp's players have overrachieved. No surprise they fall off a cliff suddenly.

 

[fergus90]

Madrid have the ability to hang in there and weather storms, if we got outplayed like they did against City 4-3 or that Bayern 1-2 in 17/18 we’d have probably shipped 8 goals.

Liverpool declined alot this season. Atleast on this 45 minute compared to last seasons fixture.

Madrid largely the better side, inspite of an early goal setback and Courtois best efforts.

Still only 45 gone, alot of gametime for things to change.

As for Napoli, absolutely deadly on the counter. Frankfurt still in it though.

 

[Birdy]

First half xG:
Liverpool 2.04 - 0.42 Madrid

Just as in CL final

The man looks like he could do with a hip replacement

With Lenglet, Semedo and co? For sure.
