CL Group Stage Final Round

[Live in the Now]

I'm saving this.

So am I.

"...Juve or Bayern" is an odd comment given the gap between those two sides. LFC can absolutely beat Juve, but they can also get absolutely thumped by Bayern.

They can get thumped by both. Or beat both.

I would like them to play a big league champion anyway to see what Liverpool are about.

Sure but they're much more likely to get thumped by Bayern and pull off the upset against Juve given the level those two are playing at this season.

Yeah, that's okay. Bring them on anyway. Don't want to see Liverpool play the likes of Porto or Besiktas on their way to the SF. Would rather play a top team and lose if that's what happens.

 

[cgf]

If Leipzig could stop playing Timo off the wing today, that'd be great...

 

[Baxterman]

Wow some pretty poor performances from teams you would have expected better from. Monaco, Spartak and Red Bull Leipzig all have to be pretty disappointed they didn't win very easy games today.

 

[Savant]

I want a big match next round too. I don’t really care if it’s Bayern, Madrid or Juventus; Liverpool won’t be favored vs any of them.

Porto and Basel would be my next choice.

I am not keen on Besiktas or Shakhtar though

...you know that Besiktas is leading the group, right? Liepzig have lacked a little in the final third with Werner stuck on the wing and Hassenhuttl's "ideas" undermining their possession game; but they haven't been poor today at all and have crafted more than enough chances to win against the bus Besiktas has parked since their early goal. It's just not quite there for Leipzig today...so far.

Besiktas would be a terrible match up for Klopp.

Uhhh, what?

 

[YNWA14]

Turned back a decade. English teams destroying Europe again.

Who would have ever thought?

 

[Savant]

Babel’s revenge!

Seriously though I just don’t want them to have a long away trip. Closer to England the better.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Bayern-Liverpool would be a good story line.

Chelsea can only play Barca, Besiktas, or PSG. Probability of certain matchups will be very warped by four English teams winning their groups.

 

[cgf]

Keita's head has been up his ass all season. I had questions about his decision making when he is unable to get out & run last season, but this year he just doesn't even seem to care about making the smart decision. *sigh*

It's sad that a child like Laimer probably has the best brain in Leipzig's midfield.

 

[Burner Account]

What's Russian for "six"?

Anyone?

Besiktas certainly do have an "island of misfit toys" feel to them; but they are experienced at parking a mean bus and can be very clinical with their chances.

 

[hatterson]

Sturridge did his best to bottle that chance, but Mane saved him.

 

[Live in the Now]

Salah no goals, but class plays, passes, and runs. Over and over again. Probably the best first season signing that Liverpool has ever made.

The horror. The horror.

Hard pass.

Don't think he wants to be there and with him already being signed by another team it probably makes matters worse.

Sad that so many players freely sign long contracts with the club of their choice and throw tantrums if they can't break them whenever they please.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

N'Koudou scores.

Sure but there are terrible teams leading groups this year (group E) and in the past.

Plus I don't think RB came in to this year thinking that it would be ok not to advance because Beisiktas is playing better than expected. They seem to have some pretty big goals in mind with that club.

 

[Deficient Mode]

3-2 Madrid now. Been coming for a while.

 

[Baxterman]

Uhhh, what?

Spartak could and should have easily won their game today and it would have had them through if they had. Surprising they came out with such a poor effort and basically just gave up against a weaker club.
