Champions League 2017/18

[Turbogre]

Liverpool will win the champions league.

[Ted Maul]

Just had a glance on the Man City forum. Someone actually said 'let's just win the league and write this season off'. Staggering self-entitlement, imagine not being arsed about the league 

[urban.spaceman]

Just think, if they'd made a realistic bid for Mahrez they might still be on for a Quadruple.

[ScouseFox]

fair play man livpool were superb tonight. 

 

knew they’d win. 

[AKCJ]

Can't get over how shite Man City were.

 

Even in the second half when Liverpool were shagged they couldn't string two passes together.

[Kopfkino]

Liverpool were excellent and the crowd superb, but Man City were dreadful, so one-dimensional and not very good at that dimension. 

 

Tonight I realised I really want to hate Man City but I can't, and I really want to like Liverpool but I can't.

Weird.

Harry Arter is probably the most annoying one.

 

They've started with Leroy Sane too.

Don’t forget England’s best striker ?? never Kane ...always Arry Kane 

Fair play Liverpool...brilliant attacking display first half and very good defensively second half...Now let’s watch them crumble and lose to Everton at the weekend while Man City thump Man Utd 

[Tielemans63]

Guardiola's tactics were bizarre tonight to say the least. No Sterling, Gundogan on the right, De Bruyne in a deeper role, Jesus as a lone striker. Not sure what his master plan was but it's fair to see he definitely ****ed it right up. Trying to be a bit too clever perhaps?

[fuchsntf]

I think it warrants a special mention

This weeks Champion-league quarter finals games,thrown up some great games and moments.

There is football,then there is football..

Get a Journalist From  the Puskas and di Stefano era, they would  be frothing!!

[Tuna]

Pep clearly learned nothing from the game at Anfield in the league, and got the same result, nothing.

 

City are capable of winning the second leg however but it's a huge task now.

[Bert]

Liverpool were fantastic first half. Man City chasing shadows and that meant they'd all but ran out of steam for the second half. Trent Alexander-Arnold was absolute first class I thought. As well as Milner and Henderson. They're just as devastating as Man City when they're countering. 

[Guest seanfox778]

The best thing about the 2nd leg is that Liverpool are more than capable of scoring on the counter so in theory, it should be littered with goals. If Liverpool score the 1st goal then Man City need 5! 

[surrifox]

If Liverpool concede an early goal it could go wrong for them - their defence is still pish at this level

Can't stand either of them to be honest. I was hoping for a dull draw, now we've got to endure plastic Scouse and his all mates plus a national media Klopp love in again. 

 

Would a negated result and a behind closed doors replay after the trouble beforehand be too much to ask. 

I don't think the effect of having your coach attacked on the way to the game can be under estimated.

I Thought we'd  left all this behind, absolute morons.

Liverpool should have to play their next home European game in an empty stadium.

Been telling ya all along about Pep. Just because most PL teams are bamboozled by those beautiful passes doesn't mean that he is doing something new. He did the same thing in the German league. he wins the league by January and underperforms in the CL without that prime Barca team and the greats footballer of all time playing for him.

Winning the Premier League by January makes you anything but a fraud

They'll get away with it though, so there's no point in bothering, same as still double teaming in the turnstyles.

[notnow john]

If there is no serious sanction it's a green light to Man city thugs, and so on until

a player is seriously injured.

Agreed. 

 

A tale of two shite defences.

The problem is for me is I think that Man City really needed an away goal at least. I can’t see Man City scoring 3 or more goals without Liverpool scoring and making it extremely difficult for Man City.

Totally weird game last night. Commentators talking about Man City's dominance in possession and yet they could've played all night and not scored. Have they seriously still not learnt that possession means naff all in the grand scheme of the game.

 

Really wanted Man City to win because of my bias against Liverpool, but can't argue with that performance, they were brilliant. Got to the score they wanted and shut up shop expertly. White flag was being waved after about 60 minutes.

 

Interesting to see how many empty seats there will be at the Etihad next week

They didn't even have a shot on target. Possession is pointless if you're gonna do nothing with it - we proved that when we won the league.

reminded me of his errors at our place last season. he played into their hands. very odd

 

and Liverpool should be made to play their next European fixture behind closed doors. is there any precedent for home fans breaking windows of the opposition team bus before the game ???
