to be updated after weekend games

 

Thread open for the big game.

 

Finely in the balance, the atmosphere will play a massive part as it proved to do against United.. Season on the line. Get past this test and we have a realistic shot of winning the competition.

 

Semi final draw is going to be interesting

All 4 teams irrespective will have a big chance.

I hope we are in the pot.

 

They will score, I'm sure of that. Can we score more? **** yes!

 

2 - 1 to us

 

Yeah think we're going to need to win this as can't see us finishing 0-0

 

They will score...
They, as far as I'm concerned at still favourites to progress..
We will need to play as good as/if not better than we did against United to progress, we come out and blitz them, then maybe..
But the issue with trying to Blitz them, they could murder us on the counter..
We can't play for a 0-0 be cause we simply can't do that.. wouldn't be surprised if we let them have most of the ball again and hit them on the counter..
In short, nervous with excitement, trust Klopp to get the team and tactics right..

 

Will be another tight game I feel. I am going for 2-1 win to us with a Dortmund onslaught which will be horrible as **** as the 2nd goal would put them through.

 

I think our main danger is not them but our own game style. If our players bottle this they will start sitting back and inviting pressure and thats where we concede constantly.

If we keep positive and keep making it hard by following the pressing game plan we can win the game

Its when we panic and drop off that we fail time and again.

 

The first leg saw us put in a disciplined and professional performance - I expect us to go full on for the first 15 mins and try get a quick 1-2 goals.

 

At some point it's squeaky bum time, even if we get a goal. The frightening bit is that we will at some point have to defend well, really well. Most agree they will score and because of that we will drop off and defend at some point.

My team to start...

Don't know if there are any injuries/suspensions?

Mingo
Clyne Lovren Sakho Moreno
Allen Can Milner
Firmino Coutinho
Origi

​

 

Alternative team if we are to really go at them...

Mingo
Clyne Lovren Sakho Moreno
Firmino Lucas Can Coutinho
Studge Origi​

 

Think he'll opt for the 4-2-3-1 again..
But I'd go with

----- Can - Milner/Allen
Lallana - Firmino - Coutinho
----- Sturridge/Origi

 

Yeah that's a likely team.

 

Can't see us winning.

Dort will score. Its inevitable. We might equalise but I see us being ****ed by the away goals counting after extra time rule again. (if we make it that far).

 

Pessimistic septic twat

 

yes cheer up milk. we walked all over them over there. i think we are fitter than them and will out work them and the crowd will be all over this one... theres pride at sake here proving they aint the best YNWA merchants.

It wil down to business game and they have a lot of quality but we can do this!

 

IF we do beat them though we've got to be considered serious contenders. Only two teams left for us to beat after that. One is a single leg cup final.

When it gets down to 4 teams we're no longer pie-in-the-sky.

 

It's quite exciting
