FA Cup 2021-22

[Morten]

Salah down. Reals chances just went up.

Salah has been in bad form for a while, so im not so sure, even if he dont make it.

The bad news is that Liverpool in big games this season were kind of 2nd best team on the field or at best equal to their opponents. The only exception was that FA Cup semifinal where City played with their 2nd string team.

And the Anfield game vs Chelsea against 10 men Chelsea.

I see the CL final a pure 50-50 game.

 

[soul24rage]

Lukaku is so shite

 

[serghei]

Imagine if Madrid play against Liverpool again in the CL final and again Liverpool doesn't have their best attacker.

 

[serghei]

Lukaku is so shite

He is. He doesn't even win headers vs Konate and Van Dijk.

But the Soccer LeBron is following him closely.

A reminder that you can forego watching the second half of this final and switch to Espanyol-Valencia to watch our next superstar Carlos "Pass % is just a useless stat" Soler.

 

[Morten]

Classic Lukaku touches.

Liverpool started much better, but Chelsea rode of the storm and its been about equal after that, anyone's game this.

I see RM trolling them, with or without Salah. Liverpool will be the more dominant team while RM will be more clinical.

Alonso is mid. I can see why people are a bit outraged at his transfer prospects

Me too. Madrid will match their intensity in a CL final of all games, and their superior technique and mentality will prevail. Guys here gush over players like Diaz, but Vinicius is a better player than him at the minute, and Benzema is better than any striker Liverpool have.

Lukaku put it into orbit lmao

Madrid simply doesn't lose European finals. That's why they are the favorites and why they needed to be eliminated beforehand. They are very likely to win. And for some reasons teams not Barcelona seem to always end up submissive once they really get going.

 

[Morten]

Liverpool looks very strong at their best, but i've noticed they have these periods in game where they don't do much.

Though, the latter you can say the same for any team, i suppose.

True, but this Liverpool is still the toughest final I've seen them in by a distance, if Liverpool get at the game without injury problems.

No offense, but Valencia, Atletico, Leverkusen, Juventus. These teams have like 2 CLs combined. And Juventus are basically experts at losing CL finals.

3 of the 5 opponents that they faced in CL finals since I've been watching football have 0 CL wins. And the team that had pedigree played without their best player after a kung fu takedown and had Karius in goal. Too funny.
