This is winding me up a bit too tbh, and not even a hint of an out-swinger no matter how **** the last half dozen were. You have to mix it up in game imo, or it just becomes simple to defend.
We will see. I'd take AC Milan Away do not lose Bologna Home Must win RB Leipzig Away. Do not lose. Bayer 04 Leverkusen Home - must win Real Madrid Home - try not to be beaten too bad. Girona Away fake city. - bastard 4th seed team. This is must win but we won't. Lille 1:30 must win PSV Eindhoven Away - will be interesting. If we get 12-14 points out of this I'd be OK with it at this point. It's a rotten draw we got. I thinknwe can get through but people are not really seeing how tough the draw has been compared to others.
We struggled against that type of defending so often with Klopp, so it must be a problem the players have. Klopp never really found the answer to it consistently. It'll be interesting to see if Slot can, though I'm not expecting tonight's game to be similar.
We might expect at least a point tonight, but really doesn't matter who we get points against and who we drop them against as long as we get enough. If we lose tonight, it's not "season-over".
Interested in seeing how Gakpo does under Slot. Not gonna lie, he wasn't exactly my favourite player under Klopp but maybe I didn't give him a fair chance - when he played in his preferred position he was just starting out at Liverpool, and then he predominantly played out of position.
I'm not at all fussed about the new format. But it does provide amusement that while we are away at the San Siro, utd face the mighty Barnsley.
Changes up top and at the back, but the same midfield. Could have done with some fresh legs in the middle I feel.
