I'm not arsed about the tie, it's not the first time weve let the occasion get the better of us, got drawn into something we didn't need to.
That is why we watch the game. Not every time will you get to win so I love the challenge to overturn the score. Anfield will be hot
You know the referee is bought when he ignores mandatory yellows like that and Costa kicking away our free kick
Just needed someone who is calm on the ball and doesn’t force things. I will continue to bang the Keita drum because not a lot of people see what he adds to the build up. This is still the weakness of the team - our main ways of creating are from the full backs or relying on front 3 to do something special. Just need to work on our build up play through central areas. Anyways, Madrid are a Bastard team. They really are. Fair play
This is telling: No chances created or dribbles completed from any of Liverpool's midfielders. And yet we had 63% possession. This is the fundamental issue in these sorts of games. Klopp needs to take responsibility for that.
Shocking performance by us. None of our players know how to control or pass a ball. All three subs were terrible and made us worse. Not helped by us appearing to be happy to take a 1-0 loss. The officials are a bunch of ****s too. Some truly shocking decisions on their part, clearly being influenced by a noisy crowd. Anyway, ties not over. Anfield now comes into play. PS... commentator said this was the best result going into the second leg. Really? A result that gives A.Madrid something to sit in and defend over them having to attack? Pricks!
Also - get me sancho over Werner this summer. We badly need a wide man who can take players on. As soon as one of the front 3 goes off, we lose our way massively. I feel sancho addresses that issue better than Werner
Atletico strangled the life out of that game. We need to play Ox or Keita in midfield next game as our starting three today are not the most creative in tight games like this. I fear an away goal in the second leg - there’s no way we will score 3 against that defence.
