    Well he varied those tactics at Everton this year.... instead of aiming for the strikers from the back... Pickford just aims for touch so they can get back into a nice defensive shape <ok>

    BT are screening the game tonight, it looks as though it is live on you tube as well. It isn't on itv or bbc.

    If Liverpool don't get overwhelmed in the middle of the park their front 3 can win the game for them.

    Apparently the goalie for Liverpool was coached by Carver and Pardew....

    How do we all feel about the fact that the champions league has been won by a team that were not champions of THEIR league?

    Outrageous overhead by Galen for the second, keeper spilled their third. Well done Ramos for busting Salah'S shoulder, the dirty kunt.

    Karius will never live that down. I genuinely think that Ramos knew what he was doing on Salah though. He's proper done him. Totally changed the game.

    Sorry, can't agree. I think it was a bit of great defending getting that tight on Salah. The fact he landed on his shoulder was just unfortunate. At that speed there's no way Ramos could have intended to do Salah in that fashion.

    Ok... so Salah is trying to get away from Ramos and get the ball, and Ramos has grabbed his arm and rolled him over, whilst still holding the arm. If you were falling your instinct would be to let go of the arm you were holding to try and put your hand out to break your momentum.

    He did not do that, he physically clung tighter to that arm and trapped it in, and then rolled him, it's bloody obvious.

    There should be repercussions that see him banned from the WC. Real Madrid are the mafia though, so no chance.

    Ramos. Is a cheating dirty bastard. He killed a game. Which Liverpool were the best team at that point. The man makes my blood boil with his childish behaviour
