Champions League

[Barcilliant]

There's no doubt we made massive mistakes post 2015, but I still wouldn't trade our last three decades for theirs... to add a little context.

We are far too miserable around here.

People are miserable because of the mismanagement and humiliations we have endured. Even in our barren years 2000-2003 we never suffered so many European humiliations. We were losing but with some dignity. Now it's almost par for the course.

Barca from 2003-2017 were the good years. It's going to be a struggle now.

True. It's normal though. No club stays at the top continuously for decades.

90s were good too btw.

I do agree that the 2020s will not be a succssesful decade for the club. If we turn it around in time to bag 2-3 La Liga titles we should be happy. For CL I have very low expectations.

what would the current LFC RM combined 11 look like?

Rodrygo: ''God saw me and said: Today is your day!''

Benz has asked Rodrygo if he wants to shoot the pen but Rodry refused.

Thought he is a bit overrated but he has been crucial this season with his goal against Chelsea which lead Real Madrid to extra time and his 2 goals against City.

Interesting question. But Liverpool would win out on most positions.

 

[KingLeo10]

Liverpool in all positions except Benzema, Modric, and Courtois.

Don't think he is overrated. He is at good enough level for his age and don't think people rate him above that. I think he will become very good, maybe not WC. He has the same thing Luis Diaz has where they can shut out every distraction around them and just be completely in the zone not lose focus and be affected by pressure. Basically "do what you always do" mentality.

I think i would take Vini over Diaz

 

[JamDav1982]

Would have Allison over Courtois.

Midfield is difficult to compare as they both want very different things from them.

yeah i have been probably too harsh to him

If you want pace then I understand your choice. But Luis Diaz is much more complete.


Not sure who's better between Courtois and Allison. Would think Courtois but if he is Allison is not behind much.

I am afraid Liverpools lack of midfield culture will be their downfall. Modric and co will step it up for a game. Plus Camavinga against tired legs looks deadly.

 

[KingLeo10]

Oh, I'd also take Casemiro over Fabinho.

Casemiro knows exactly how dirty to play in the biggest games.

He was the reason for Modric and Kroos working in the midfield.

 

[Horatio]

ESPN puts liverpool at 67% chance of winning. Just saw an image. Don't know what their arguments are.

Too high. I would have it 55-45 in favor of Pool, though I expect RM to win.
