Pre Match | Liverpool vs Real Madrid | CL Quarter Final second leg | Wednesday April 14th 20:00h | Anfield

No focus on Adrian eithier so I take that as a good sign, they usually focus on him when he is due to start, he appears in a blur behind Salah in one

Realistically, we are not going through. Maybe a one in ten chance of it, if even that. Still, at least itā€™s some excitement for what has been a rough season.

Good morning everyone. Letā€™s make it a night to remember.

Hope heā€™s spent a lot of time in very close proximity to the rest of the team.

If we go out, so be it, but fuck me make it a fight to the death. Give it everything and then some moreā€¦

1st tackle if itā€™s not someone snapping into a Modric or a Kroos to say come on lad you aint running this game today. Then fuck them.

2 games from the Champions League final, if thatā€™s not motivation enough then you donā€™t deserve to be playing for this clubā€¦ Itā€™s why we exist.

Weā€™ll win. We have Nat Phillips.

Really hope Ali is fit. He does have far too many injuries for someone in his position, and we do need to consider what level back up keeper we need in future in light of that.

Canā€™t say Iā€™m not concerned that going further in the competition might hinder is in terms of finishing top four, but of course in our blood we want to win things so Iā€™m hoping we find a way to get through tonight.

Iā€™ve no great expectations for tonight. Just hope that we turn in a decent performance. Infact the prospect of playing such a big game in front of an empty Anfield, no bus welcome, no pyro, is a bit depressing. Usually I would be counting down the hours to a game like this.

If weā€™re going down then we go down fighting. I want to see that tonight. Just a glimpse of the team we know we can be and Iā€™m sure will be again when there are 54,000 in the ground.

Shame he needs to be pissed off to score some goals.

An assist from open play after 145 games without one would be nice.

:joy:

Does Jurgen be brave and play Jota, Salah, Mane AND Bobby?!! I say go for it, what is there to lose. If all 4 start, hopefully that means they would press higher up the pitch and not give Kroos all day to hit a long ball over the CBā€™s/Trentā€™s head all game long againā€¦

The midfield, if they boss the midfield again tonight we are done.

I think with a 2-0 win being enough, he has to balance it.

Iā€™d go Jota Bobby Salah up top, with Fabinho, Milner and Thiago in midfield.

Then have Gini and Mane to come on as game changers, and lesser squad players later on if needed.

thatā€™s what Iā€™d be going for. play bobby deeper in #10 role with Fab as the #6 and Milner as #8.

Almost a 4-2-3-1 setup. play Mane on the right, Jota on left and Salah up top. Back 4 picks itself.
