Its funny earlier in week was talking about how Ronaldo has a **** record on free kicks for last 5 years? Think he’s scored 1 from about 75 efforts for Juve since he joined and was a running joke even though other players like dybala have scored more in that period when he was no on the pitch.

Ian wright made a comment about it at HT but made it in a stupid way no one really took it serious but have to question how Ronaldo keeps being allowed to take them when he’s so ****.
He's always been **** at free kicks.
When they go in they are usually screamers and special, the trouble is that only happens about 1 in 30

Bar its 1 in 75 sure.

I could say the same out a lot of players. I think Joe gomez can take a screamer btw. We will never see it outside training.

Conaldo has.been at it since his utd days but theres a reason people.reverted to the older curler. It's just better.

Hell even harry wilson has scored more than the conman.
 
We wus robbed.

Only watched from just before half time. I couldn't fault Portugal's effort but like Liverpool, no end product. R Sanches played really well.

With regard to the other game, wondering which PL clubs will be in for Schick. <whistle>

2 men on ronaldo. Portugal no answer.

It's amazing when refs are not buying the crap how ineffective fernandes is. No pens, no space to do anything he feels like.

Portugal dont even consider him a starter. They sent him on for b.silva on about the hour and he really didnt do much.
 
whats the feeling today?

Croatia v Spain? Neither in their "prime" but the game is in copenhagen so is as neutral as any venue could be i guess. Croatia seem to not have much goal threat but spain just drew with sweden and poland who are probabaly still not as good as croatia. the 5-0 v slovaka can't really be taken into account.

then france v switzerland ought to be a big win for france. Ought to be but the france team have not quite opened up yet. the swiss I think are half decent but only half decent.

Yesterday had the one big shock of the tournament.
 
He's been good, that role in midfield of gaining and retaining possession. Very Gini like, I wonder if we are looking at him?
The thing I liked was he's not easily pushed off the ball. I have no idea how he plays for his club so I hope we don't go for anyone off a good Euro performance. I don't think Klopp will either.

My simplistic review showed he barely played for his club due to injury and bench warming
 
France to win, Shaqiri with another stunner (he loves internationals). Can't call the other game. Would a Croatia win be classed as a shock win because that spot's already taken.
 
We have to trust Klopp. He hasn't bought too many turkeys.

Well not for his first team.

I reckon theres a bit too much of the value types in the squad who dont give any value.

Minamino
Shaqiri
Origi
Wilson
Grujic
Etc.

A few more genuine competitors for places would improve us. Jota has.

Now wijnaldum has gone the midfield is worse as thiago and henderson have no competition really. Milner and jones are not there.

If renato is good enough fine but if hes another but just cos his value is lower than it ought to be then its ot improving our first team.

Imo konate was a good buy. We now have 11 good men plus gomez and jota/mane and maybe even matip but then its players who wouldn't get into any other top 8 first team as options.

Our second 11 today really represents sell on value

Kelleher
Williams matip Phillip's tsimikas
Milner grujic jones
Shaqiri/ox Origi jota/mane

It just feels a couple of real options short if renato sanches is one and we can sell williams, wilson, shaqiri, grujic, minamino and origi for 10-15 each (a lot of work to do there) then we should be looking to bring in mbappe for the lads and a midfielder.

Then all they'd have to whine about is lack of rb cover.
