Match Day Thread Liverpool v Real Madrid CL Final

All good. The main risk is them blowing up imo.

Going to be a last big effort here.

Milner and keita to come on after an hour?

It's a 16 man game not a say 13 man one form a tactical point of view.

 

Yep. Mrs' (nm) family planned a meal for today that's now been cancelled. When I was told, I just laughed and said "no chance, CL final"

 

Did you not mark this on the calender. Rookie error.

 

Breaking news that Thiago and Fabinho should both be fit to start.

 

they still get a trophy

it's just a **** one .

 

Rookie error on the spelling of calendar.

 

At least I'm getting laid after the game.

He's clearly not got a hope.

 

Time to get ready and wander down to club for the match.

 

From my oldest.

 

Thiago starts .................Mo,Mane and Diaz up top. Fab and VvD start.

 

And he has chosen Alisson in goal to help do so, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson lining up ahead of the Brazilian.

In midfield, Fabinho is fit to start alongside captain Jordan Henderson and Thiago is also raring to go.

Finally, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz complete the side and will certainly have goals on their mind.

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago; Salah, Diaz, Mane

Substitutes: Kelleher, Gomez, Matip, Tsimikas, Milner, Keita, Jones, Elliott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Jota, Firmino

Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Casemiro, Kroos, Modric; Valverde, Vinicius Jr, Benzema

Substitutes: Lunin, Marcelo, Nacho; Ceballos, Camavinga, Isco, Lucas, Hazard, Asensio, Bale, Rodrygo, Mariano

As expected, the best team we can start with. Now let's hope they are all fully fit and play the game of their lives. Prefer Konate to Matip as he is quicker and more solid in the air.

 

Assumed Matip would start, otherwise rest of the team is as expected

 

As I expected, Konate is necessary imo with Vinicius against Trent, and aerially vs Benzema.

I think subs and related tactics are gonna be important here. Madrid's starting midfield lacks running but is technically great, but then they have Camavinga to come on and change things in that area if needed.

 

Bad news guys. Might have to poop again. I shouldn't have had Chilli for lunch. I fear if I poop now it won't be as good and that would be a bad omen. I'll try and hold it in.

 

Just go for the love of God.

You don't need to **** yourself during the game

 

Come on Liverpool
