Liverpool v Galatasary 18/03 , 20:00 GMT , CL Last 16 , 2nd leg

Time to put it right then.

Just had a look two of them we didn’t actually need to win to progress, three if you include PSG.

Yeah, it was a shocker when I heard it the other day
19-20 - Last 16 Atletico Madrid 2-3 (lost tie)
20-21 - Last 16 RBL 2-0 (won tie)
20-21 - QF Real Madrid 0-0 (lost tie)
21-22 - last 16 Inter 0-1 (won tie)
21-22 - QF Benfica 3-3 (won tie)
21-22 - SF Vallareal 2-3 (won tie)
22-23 - last 16 Real Madrid 2-5 (lost tie)
23-24 - last 16 (europa) Sparta Prague 6-1 (won tie)
23-24 - QF Atalanta 0-1 (lost tie)
24-25 - PSG 0-1 (lost tie)

2 wins out of the last 10 ties. The results from 21-22 are odd and skew it a bit because in each case we brought good sized leads back home from the first leg and took our foot off the gas late with the tie already won.

FFS people we are supposed to be Liverpool supporters, I look forward to every match and believe we will put in a performance.

Cmon the mighty reds, kick arse.

Useless stats because I can’t use them to prove how shit Slot is.

For anyone going to the match, i thought this might be of interest beforehand.

60 odd posts in a pre match thread sums up the mood. Im quietly pleased i couldn’t go to the game tonight (work shit got in the way)

If we lose we’ll end up with a 600odd post thread. Joy

I’m going to leave work a bit early to watch the match at home with my lad, who is home from college on Spring Break. I know the score. We are at a low ebb, playing poorly, and it’s hard to see where it turns around without a change in manager.

But I’m still going to watch! Even a troubled Liverpool side has my support.

I’m hoping we can do enough to advance and then it’s into the last eight. At that point if we get there, like everyone else I can’t see us getting past a really good PSG side, but that can wait. There’s no point borrowing tomorrow’s trouble for today.

Today is Liverpool v Galatasaray. We are behind, but advancing is doable. Come on you reds!

Im struggling with the same feelings, simply because on current form, going out tonight is going to be les damage, than being thoroughly shown up by PSG. I dont ever remember having these same feelings even once since 1976. It’s a real shade of the reality we are in.

Unless some miracle occurs and our form suddenly raises into something competitive, then its going to be easier to recover from going out tonight, than it is, being made to look like ghosts by PSG.

I gave a wry smile when Hodgson lost to Steve Kean’s Blackburn who hadn’t won a game in about 2 months that’s probably the lowest I got with us.

I’ve not cared a few times for whatever reason but this is a CL last 16 tie in which we are only a goal behind.

If it turns out like some expect then there are days ahead to criticise it. But it’s still massively important to me. Maybe the outcome is less depressing than when I don’t expect it.

We’ll know the response from the players within 10 mins.

We know the signs, i just hope something has changed since Sunday ( gotta have some faith ).

But if we play in our typical laborious manner then we’re doomed i think.

4-0 battering :rofl:

I am mostly positive going in to games and expect us to win every one.

Always positive at the beginning of matches, unfortunately this has been changing quickly once the game starts!

We very rarely have a good first half, and we seem to have a shit last 5-10m a lot.

Mac Allister is lucky to start as he has looked well off the pace.

Will it be Frimpong at right back and Dom right midfield, or the other way around?

Shit just realised…Flo on the left wing?

Well at least it’s not gonna be Dom at RB again.

Flo and Kerkez have linked up nicely at times on the left, hoping to see more of that.

As I said in the Arne thread, picks the same underperforming players.

But, Cmon kick some Gala butt

…until the substitutions start.
