UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [14th - 16th March 2023]

[Tombstone]

Jota looks miles off match fit. This is already looking like one of those games where we could play 180mins and not score

 

[manic111]

Gakpo and Jota really aren't in this, Nunez is only one really trying anything

Think Gakpo has been decent in the hole

 

[manic111]

We miss Bajcetic so much. He really shouldn't be our best midfielder as a scrawny 18 year old who's played less than half a season

Says it all about how just getting Bellingham isnt enough for our midfield, we dont need just 1 midfielder, we need 2 or 3. This midfield (I know we have injuries) is offering us nothing. Milner, Fabinho and Jota may as well not be on the pitch, none of them are going to create a goal in this match.

 

[Tombstone]

3 goals against Real, in Madrid, was a big enough ask in 90mins. Now its just 45mins to get 3 and we dont look like getting 1 let alone 3.

Bit harsh on Milner, he's popped up in their penalty area as much as anyone this half.

I think we should take one of Milner and Fab off for Bobby though. Stick him in midfield and try to get him playing

 

[scarps]

Good keeper this Becker fella.

Pfffft, you got 6 against us in 45 minutes. You only need half that here

 

[C Kent]

Very predictable, having no midfield really makes a game hard going

 

[Mark1989]

Wasted corner that was, I didn't think we would get through but even less so based on that 45min.

Nothing at all is being created

Yeah but Utd were asleep that day, Real arent

 

[manic111]

Jota is way off it. Not his fault, he's only just back and we've chucked him in hoping for a hat trick. Needs to come off though.

 

[Mark1989]

Oh jota is there, he gave away a foul

 

[manic111]

Do you think that Nacho spends all his time on the bench (i.e. most of his time) learning to roll around on the floor?

 

[Tombstone]

Its no good the commentators banging on and on about taking the shackles off, its not like we have a commanding , domineering midfield who are holding back and we can just take shackles off and all will happen. We've got no engine to do anything more than what we're doing at the moment.

 

[Tombstone]

What a shocking pass from Salah that was.

 

[manic111]

Gakpo has been class this half.

 

[omnomnom]

FFS Salah. That is a simple ball.

 

[Mark1989]

How salah messed that pass up I'll never know acres of space to get nunez in

 

[omnomnom]

Again, I dont understand the subs Klopp is making.
