UEFA Champions League/Europa League ** Spoilers ** [21st - 23rd October 2014]

famous atmosphere my arse

all you can hear is the madrid fans...

edit: goal, thought liverpool had done ok up until that

 

[Ayahuasca]

Liverpool keep playing cutting passes through Madrids defence but nobody can do anything with it.

Liverpool are woeful in the final third

 

[drunkenmaster]

Liverpool have been killing themselves for 20 and a bit minutes though, they were closing everything in numbers and with pace. They were trying for a fast start, a goal then probably to sit back like they've done many times. Problem is they aren't nearly as good in attack so couldn't get that early break through despite the very very high tempo, and their defence seems to get worse by the game.

It's not a terrible idea to try something, better than doing nothing but it's a pretty slim chance of working and running at that pace will tire anybody earlier and realistically Real aren't a team you want to be tired against as you start making mistakes and Ronaldo will punish mistakes harshly.

Isco has one the best first touches I've seen. Every time, instantly under control from any ball.

Beautiful Header

 

[Robbo]

Here we go. That's a great header.

 

[drunkenmaster]

Yup, Liverpool busted their nut completely in the first 20 minutes, they are not getting nearly as close anywhere on the pitch now.

I'm about 98% sure Benzema was just looking to put that back across the box from there though.

EDIT:- that doesn't make it a bad header, it was great, looped over the keeper and if you put a header in there it has a chance to go in, if not it had a great chance to be tapped in, so great header, just don't think it was intended as a goal.
