carefreeluke Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 The thing is looking at both teams tonight. One team worked their socks off, took the game to the opposition, were braver, and outran and outfought the opposition, almost steamrolling the other team in the process. Tonight was a great advert for hard work, talent in football will go only get you so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 @Dr. Gonzo @LFCMike @LFCMadLad I tell you what I really like and respect about you guys is the way you have been patient. You've rebuilt Liverpool. You've not taken a short cut, sacked the manager after a few bad results. Shore you haven't won anything yet and other clubs have but you are doing it the right way. It does actually give me a bit of hope that arsenal can get back to being competitive. I think the only way to compete with the big spenders like city is to be patient stick with the manager and hopefully it will pay of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They thought they were through which they really shouldn't of after last year. I actually think the premier League may have taken over la Liga now.

Skill, experience, cynicism, and cleverness can win you a lot things. In fact, it wins you most things. But there are occasions where a team will just be too arrogant, too clever for their own good, and a team with a proper footballing culture, a more careful preparation, and a superior will to play, will roll them over. And the humiliation will be all the deeper and all the more lasting for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeem Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 there's this feeling of sadness to see such a fun attacking side probably not having the season they deserve, they are a treble winning side for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only way to compete with the big spenders like city is to be patient stick with the manager and hopefully it will pay of I think if you've got the right manager in place, the next step is just getting them the right players. If a manager shows they've got a system that's worth investing in, that's when a club should really go heavy with investment... and really only when it's specifically identified what areas of the squad need improving and what players bring in the right qualities for the system that work. Michael Edwards has done such an incredible job with recruitment for Klopp. The two of them have really been a revelation lately, I hope they keep it up for as long as possible. Sustained success is the goal and we'll only get that with stability. The way Klopp has rebuilt the side is incredible though. This is an incredible Liverpool side. I think Chelsea will find that out sooner rather than later now that the other big clubs have more financial parity with them and Citeh are doing what they used to do... but they've got a stable set up with Pep and aren't likely to fuck with that any time soon. So in a way, credit to Pep and Citeh as well as Kloppo and Edwards... it's because of the high bar they've set that we've had to improve so tremendously to keep up. Although also fuck Manchester City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Käiser Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Feel that messi disappears in the games when needed most. Never won a trophy for country. And I think innesta had a most influential affect on his Barca career. Has Barca won it since innesta left? messi is a great player just missing big game piece (perhaps a move from Barcelona, a new challenge would be good for him) also coutinho did nothing for himself in these two games vs his former club which he desired to leave. Guess he wishes he never left. Then again without his leaving Liverpool could not have gotten vvd and Allison poetic justice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil-Dick Willie Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Fair play. I didn't watch the match but as soon as I saw the headlines and comments on a 'controversial goal' I watched the 20 min highlights. Barcelona should have scored a goal at some point in the first 20 minutes, the only period they seemed to have a sustained attack. They didn't, just like liverpool should have scored in the first leg. Football owes you nothing so no complaints. Suarez is a cunt The goal from the corner is purely Barcelonas fault.

Inverted Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Messi created a goal at home, scored a world class free kick, and then made several chances to score an away goal. It isn't his fault that he's stuck at a club with an insane inferiority complex around the CL, a cowardly manager whose tactics are essentially a budget rip-off of Mourinho, and a bunch of weak-minded teammates who lack the mentality to produce under pressure.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 7, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted May 7, 2019 It seemed like Barcelona approached the game with the same attitude as most of us non-professional footballer internet wankers of "well Messi will probably just come up with at least one goal then they'll have to score five so who's even arsed?".

It's just the sweetest feeling to see the shock of people who are used to everything being handed to them clutch their pearls when somebody chooses not to treat them like god's gift to earth.

When he actually learns how to defend properly, he will be a decent player imo. A poor man's Marcelo is all he is He did alright all things considered. I'm the first to rip into him when he fucks up defensively, but he's undeniably an attack-minded full-back. You yourself will know I'm a huge fan of Marcelo, but we both know he couldn't defend for shit when he was 20. TAA has time to learn and balance his game better, just like Marcelo.

Dr. Gonzo Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Oh you know what's interesting... people say that it's laughable to suggest that anyone other than Alba is the best left back in Europe. But he was absolutely shite tonight. And yeah, not every player has a good performance and sometimes players play poorly. But he gifted it to Trent a number of times.

But he was exceptionally bad, I'd say their worst player on the pitch. Wouldn't have expected that really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
