City might be winning but they look a shadow of the team they were. Madrid just have that classic problem they had in the early 2000’s of trying to squeeze too many very good attacking players in their team and ending up massively unbalanced because of it.
You’d have to say as well both of these teams are lucky they aren’t running into someone like PSG because they’d run all over them.
I hope City smash them. Ludicrous people.
I hope City beat them on the basis of if everyone is fit I think Madrid are a better team than them and I feel like they have a hex over us in games that matter and they’d beat us whereas I’d be more confident that we’d beat City.
I hope City get what’s coming to them and they end up back in Division 3 like in 1999 but that doesn’t seem likely.
That looked a pretty lol decision at first but it probably is a penalty.
Think they’re more unbalanced because they have no fit defenders and thus have two centre mids back thereQuote:

One more for Haaland here and then get in a few Madrid faces and this could be tasty.
Yeah that plays a big part in it. But I do feel they look better when one of Vini Jr or Mbappe isn’t in the team. Which sounds ridiculous but just means they don’t have two players trying to do basically the same thing.Quote:

Seems Ederson isn't much better than the other idiot they've got. What's gone on with those two? Sure they were top 2 in the league in some opinions not long ago.
City not being able to beat them at home when they're having to play that back line is pathetic.
:lol:
Get fucked City.
City are just rank bad.
Madrid are egregiously lucky as a side though. Hopefully someone like Inter or, dare I say it, Arsenal shiteball them out of it.
Hahahahhah
How have City sold all these youngsters and ended up with Rico Lewis in the team?
Should have sold Ederson to Saudi whenever that was a likely thing.
RIP Agueros bollocks
:harold:
Havertz with the sudden and season ending injury in the Dubai training camp.
Phonics might need his boots ready at this rate.
They might win the league now
Have they poached Micky Ven de Ven's fitness coach or something?
Maybe stick one of the 7 foot tall defenders up top as a target man. Failing that they could always stick a 31 year old male from London up there.
I think they should be allowed to make an emergency signing, but they have to be from League Two or below, and they have to start every game for the rest of the season.
At what point are emergency signings allowed? It's basically never unless it's for goalkeeper isn't it? Unless you are Barcelona that is. What's Dani Olmo up to?
I believe Diego Costa is a free agent.
And 31 year old Saido Berahino. Shocked he's only 31.

:lol:
(how do we link shorts ffs)
Looks febrile at Goodison.
Bring on the seethe. :yn:
The PL should deduct them 10 points every year for the good of the product.
Their fan site released a thing on twitter calling for a barrage of noise throughout the entire game that will not stop. They also want to "boo, but make it an aggressive boo" whenever Liverpool have the ball. As if they know anything else.Quote:

It's why he rested everyone against Plymouth. If they come out of that with 4+ wins I see it as one hand on the title.
Also a shame to see the end of Goodison. The new ground is badly needed, but I think they will come to regret not finding a way to redevelop.
It's also a make or break two-ish weeks for how many days February will have. It looks like 28 at the moment but let's wait and find out.
Make or break :lol:
If Liverpool don’t win it will be the most embarrassing throw in a long long time
You say this like I haven't seen Liverpool throw away "top at Christmas" 4/5 times in my life already.
Teams dont do that enough from free kicks. Well worked.
He was such a bargain signing considering.
Aren't there several versions of the MacAllister fee, one of which goes up to seventy-odd million?
Still class at that price.
Indeed. Anywhere from 35-70 it seems. Inverting the 3 in midfield seems to suit him better. Sharing the defensive work with Gravenberch is brining the best of both of them.Quote:

Very odd first half that. Seems to be a game both just dont want to lose, rather than going for the win.
I suspect the game will be won/lost by Trent coming on. It's far too ploddy and all he does is knock balls forwards as quick as he can. I lost count of the amount of times a Liverpool attacker was stood free either side of the CBs in acres of space, only for no pass to come.
Liverpool also absolutely crying out for a #9 type here. Beto is doing it well for them and bringing them into the game. We've just got nothing in the middle up there.
Yeah he needs to stop with this thing of Diaz through the centre against teams from the lower half of the league it just doesn’t work. With two big old centre halves you really do need to just bang Nunez up there.
How that wasn’t a second booking for Gana is unbelievable as well. Imagine if that was Arsenal, there’d be a massive meltdown.
An Arsenal fan would probably say he'd have got a straight red if he played for them, in fairness.
I feel both fullbacks need replacing here.
Bradley caused that by getting himself a stupid booking in the first half.
How more obvious do you want a handball?
This is some honking performance. From the men in red and in yellow.
David Coote must be on VAR.
They just cannot cope with Beto in any way at all.
Gone are days of full backs stopping the cross coming in. I'm looking at you Trent.
Stop trying to destroy grassroots football.Quote:
