    so... that says they are as awesome as us.

    utd can only play what they have in front of them and try thier best. they did so cut them a bit of credit. No need to sound like a bitter evertonian ;)

    and btw some LFC fans in general do sound as bitter and the bitterest bluenose when it comes to utd.

    We have a better first team, they have a better squad. Same with Tottenham imo. Whereas City have a better team and a better squad.

    our team is better functioning for sure, I think we just lack that CM, ours are frnakly not as good as klopp makes out. Can't wait for ox to be back in and who'd have thought that of the arsenal man before he arrived.

    So QF draws:

    will be on Friday


    so teams will know their SEMI FINAL opponents tie as well as QF tie

    In other words before we play bayern next week we will know the route to the final we might had have if only ;)

    The draw:

    Tottenham

    Ajax

    United

    Porto/Roma

    City/Schalke

    Bayern Munich/Liverpool

    Atletico Madrid/Juventus

    Barcelona/Lyon

    more will be known shortly but we will know if we have to play barca in QF, Atletico in SF and city in the final or some such.

    I find that very odd tbh.

    no I just said he's no David Silva.

    quite simple.

    de bruyne
    Silva
    b. Silva

    those are the players I want from city not sane and sterling types...

    the issue with mata is the same issue why he isn't playing week in week.out. he drifts in games, does work with the others and he is very slow. tech locally great yeah.. but...

    same for ozil. no work and can be completely.out of games especially away.

    we had coutinho.. I never agreed on here when people.said he slowed our game down. I consistently pointed out his goals and assists and said we missed him but I've been told.its just stupid.

    we bought Keita but again if he can't do the things needed and last the pace then he can't play.

    players like Silva and then eriksen at spurs show what's possible. we need more of them, mata is not at that level.

    mata would do well at a lesser mid table side where he can do it every couple weeks and miss the rest

    I know VAR slows decisions but they have just finally awarded Porto the pen and they scored it to go thru :1980_boogie_down:

    Way too simplistic though. New manager honeymoon period. Much less pressure, no one expected them to get top 4 or beat psg. Lot easier being the underdog remember...

    their squad has more depth in theory so they’ve coped better with a few injuries than we have

    I think everyone here bar jimmy and mito would agree on our strongest 11. Just which two of hendo/Milner/Gini/Keita in midfield with fabinho

    I think we all thought it was the case after the first week, then the next few weeks. After 12 weeks still underdogs? Not a single domestic team has beaten him yet. The only team that beat him were PSG and he exacted revenge on them last night. Yes they were lucky, but you need luck in football and their team had been decimated and completely unrecognisable from the their regular one. Of course they are all internationals but thrown together and ask them to play the third or fourth best team in Europe?

    If they coped better then their squad is deeper (not just in theory otherwise it wouldn't have happened). He reminds me a bit of Klopp. Getting the best of his players and making them play for him. Something that their previous managers couldn't do.
