Klopp is an idiot. His great attacking scheme is a knockoff version of 2017 RM.

They pumped in like 50 crosses today.

Crosses were always integral to their game considering they have the best fullback pairs who's fortes happen to be attacking and crossing.

They played from everywhere not just crosses.

I've never done bookies and would never do it on my own team. Real are so unpredictable that almost anything can happen. 2-0 vs Barcelona was a surprise enough.

Those salty comments from Klopp are just :lol:

Real were favourites v Barca in that game and rightfully so.

City would have to fuck up massively to go out in that game as they are the better side and dont need to chase it as has been Peps downfall too often in CL.

Trent is an absolutely amazing crosser of the ball btw. Every ball he puts has the perfect weight and height, every cross has an idea behind it. He can whip it in any fashion as well.

If the games are played next week, I'd pick Real to beat City. When English sides choke, there's this solidarity that they all choke together, and the reverse is true too with the Spanish. Real, Atleti, PSG and Bayern/Barca is how I see semis this year. But lots can change by summer time.

You have Areola in the goal. The tie is already over.

Well, not really. Crossing is great as a weapon vs lockdown teams, but what this attests to is that Klopp doesn't actually have flexibility to beat those sides that ARE able to park it, suffer and survive. You need to actively have 1 or 2 players that are different from your usual tripe. And they don't have that. Villa was so good for Barcelona at just being a striker when they needed him to be.

Has he cost you ties? I can't remember what he was like in recent years. I don't recall specific cockups.

Not many teams if any can claim to have had a better approach than Liverpool in past 2/3 seasons.

He is good, but not that good. He's like marcelo with lesser skill set. A total defensive liability, good crosses(oh fuck me) and perfect players infront to thrive. Mane, firmino, salah and vvd are the 'only' world beaters in their side.

Surprisingly, he has always been better in CL for us than in domestic competitions. But overall, he is known for 1 shot on target = 1 goal against PSG. He had a serie like that where he conceded something like 14 goals out of 14 or 15 shots on target the year we lost the title to Monaco.

He is not a terrible keeper but he is useless. In CL, you need a keeper who will step up his game and make those needed saves to keep you in the tie. Put Areola in that Atletico team ans they lose by 3 goals.

You would think Liverpool are a miserable bunch, but these clowns take embarassement to a whole new level.
