UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [21st - 23rd February 2023]

[Raymond Lin]

What position is Trent playing tonight? It looks like he is playing a Number 6, pivot position?

His usual position 'rb'

I wasn't dreaming! At 5min 50sec in. He even said the word Pivot!

Liverpool need to change things up, going from to 2-0 to 2-5 is just embarrassing. Good thing away goals don't count anymore.

They're unlikely to finish in the top 6 as it stands, they might as well just experiment for the rest of the season, it can't get much worse.

We win our game in hand on Newcastle we go 6th...

Yeah, Liverpools position in the league isn't anywhere near as bad as many are making out. If they won their 2 games in hand on the teams that have played 24 points they would only be 8 points off United and 1 point off top 4. Liverpool are far more likely to get top 4 than Chelsea for sure and I think their "chance" of getting top 4 was put at 39% recently. Just higher than Newcastle.

Assuming they win, and continue to win... Based on the season so far, I don't see that happening.

I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Raymond Lin]

I am going to guess Newcastle can keep more clean sheets than Liverpool, even with Newcastle's recent run of form which has gone down the hill a little. I see more stumbles from Liverpool than Newcastle, even if they have the same points today. Between now and the rest of the season, I don't see Liverpool finishing above Newcastle, purely for the inconsistency that Liverpool has been showing and their problem in Midfield won't be fixed until the summer.

 

[Ayahuasca]

The midfield will continue to be a problem, but getting Diaz back could be a huge help if he hasn't dropped off a cliff after his injury. They really need Konate to stay fit as well, as he's had about 3 months out this season.

Not sure how City didn't get a penalty, blatant punch of the ball

It hit his shoulder, top part part of arm so correct call

 

[Martynt74]

As it stands based in the early kick off. All the away teams going through.

Hopefully the late kick offs are for the home teams!

Like Pallister said in the pre match you need that first trophy to kick on. If we beat Barcelona tonight I cannot see us losing to Newcastle on Sunday and then who knows what can happen this season. .

 

[Droolinggimp]

I know we have a very good chance of winning tonight but I have that twitchy bum feeling..

 

[Robbo]

What a game.

 

[Trusty]

OT is bouncing

 

[mid_gen]

AWB over Dalot? Otherwise, fair enough lineup.

 

[Shamikebab]

We got to 1 min before one of them is rolling around on the floor

 

[Converge]

Great chance already

 

[Trusty]

should score, put your laces through it

 

[adam cool dude]

Refs are comically bad in Europe.

 

[fez]

Sometimes I think there is a goldfish out there with AWBs brain.

So glad Savage is here to give us his usual scintillating insights such as "he's a very good player", "what a save", "what a strike", "what a pass".
