GWT: CL Quarterfinal Build-up and Leg One

[Savant]

2-1 would be fair.

What for Madrid; Benzema hitting post? LFC could have more than 2 also

 

[Savant]

People talk about Virgil but we effectively lost Firmino as well. Such an important player over the last two years and he just smacked into a wall.

Mane too. It’s all Salah now and he looks like the only one that can score today too.

True, but Mane I could see rebounding.

The book is out on Firmino and he's going to remain easy to defend unless he re-invents himself as more of a threat to actually score.

Defenders have finally disciplined themselves to not chase him because he literally never shoots.

Mane is just playing bad while Firmino is suffering from more of a feature than a bug.

All the other metrics are there except the finishing. Similar to Firmino. Been saying Mane has been way off since restart for a while now though. He gets a break because Firmino has been worse though.

Yeah, but that doesn't count for others apparently. And there's no doubt Arsenal is even more of a mess than Liverpool. So Mane gets a ton more chances.

Yes, Real has been the closest to scoring a goal. So if Wijnaldum sending an easy goal 2 meters above the bar is somehow what you call a "cirtual goal", than surely HITTING THE POST counts as more of a goal, right?

Firmino is on par with his usual scoring standards. He has 5 goals in 14 EPL games. He usually has 9-12 in 35.

Good season for him.

Citys gonna tie it

.......and they get a PK.....

Sarcasm?

He is having his worst season in a LFC shirt by a good margin.

 

[Power Man]

Not sure its a pen imo

But it could be a pen as well

CLose one

 

[spintheblackcircle]

rocket

 

[Power Man]

Oooooof

I was very nervous when Mahrez stepped up

 

[Machinehead]

It seems like opponents are past Phillips before the play even happens.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Arguable call ... nice clean finish by Mahrez. Wonder if he’s fasting lol

 

[Deficient Mode]

Tired of the refereeing and penalty decisions in this sport

Never makes sense

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Why does Uefa want city to go thru so bad?

 

[Power Man]

Clearly he is otherwise he would already be on a hat trick right now

 

[Live in the Now]

While unpopular that Milner selection looks inspired at the moment.

.......and they get a PK.....

Terrible decision

 

[ScottishCanuck]

By the letter of the law that's not a penalty. Are they making things up on the spot now?

Dortmund have been screwed twice in this tie.

 

[Machinehead]

I had no issue with the team selection today and I don't think we've even played poorly.

 

[Power Man]

Terrible decision

To be fair I think it' 50 50

Not on purpose by Can but his arm was out

Personally I wouldn't have given it, but I don't think the ref's decision was wrong either

 

[Machinehead]

Oof, Milner is not who I would have taken off

Lots of sports have bad refereeing and it's a very difficult job to do right. I don't think there's another sport where the whims of the referees determine the winner as much as this. It's low scoring to begin with and the referee decisions so often determine whether one team gets a goal or not.

TAA is about to get exposed again...
