Pre- match: Real Madrid v Liverpool, Wednesday 15th March, 20:00

So why say sub him?

Out swinging corners the majority of the time is not ideal.

A few key saves from Courtois but nothing yet that really stretched him. One goal changes the game, but it’s still difficult to see 3 coming without a significant change in the dynamic of the game.

If you have the quality on them, there’s nothing wrong with it.

Trent’s looped it long with almost every one so it would need a knock on first before you could score from it.

Fingertip from Darwin, that looked like it was curling in the far post.
Then a couple other saves he should be making.

This is a terrible take on that situation. The words that come to mind are: talking, ass, out of.

Trent’s had a good game. His passing is dangerous, he’s taken up some good positions. In case anyone didn’t notice we’re 5-2 down. A few risks are going to have to be taken.

Far more problematic is the space left in front of our 18 yard box.

Holding our own at the Bernabeu with Fabinho and Milner in CM. Don’t really see anything to complain about!

Well said.

Stick a new engine in this thing and watch us go next season.

But as for now, we are giving a good account of ourselves, all things considered.

James has had a very good game too, I’m pleased with his performance overall. Good to see him out there even if his legs have mostly gone. He sets a good tone and had a few good passes and interceptions.

We had 1-2 chances but they also had a few. Thanks to Ali we are still in it.

Trent, .Van Dijk, Fabinho… now we knowthe names in the envelopes.

I don’t see it that way. So far we’ve had our players throw their arms up with that Fab foul in the centre. Replay showed contact with the RM player before making contact with the ball.

Have RM got a few iffy calls? Yep. They also played for them. I saw Robbo on the wing get held back, made a bad pass then because he lost the ball threw his hands up asking why no foul. Play for it in the moment! Make it obvious. You need to be a bit snide in this sort of match. He doesn’t need to go to ground (and risk losing it in a dangerous position) but just make it obvious from the ref’s angle that he’s been tugged.

Trent having a good game doesn’t mean he’s not making mistakes.

talking out of your ass has nothing to do with him being the highest player on the pitch right after he attempted to intercept a pass and gave it right back to them.

Maybe check the replay later. At least Konate had the sense to immediately foul and freeze play.

We had 4 same as them. :grinning:

This.

They’ve had a couple of good shots from far, but more concern is the next play like that they’ll probably use the time to make the right pass for an easier shot on goal.

Need to feed Salah earlier to get him one on one with Nacho. THe first chance we had, Rudiger got that slice of luck in getting something on the inital move by Salah, else Mo would’ve been through on goal.

Thanks Milly for continuing to re-sign on 1 year contracts. Tonight we probably would already be toast if we didn’t have your energy!

He shouldn’t need to make it obvious as it already was as obvious as it gets.

Just shit refereeing. Nothing else to see.

Bobby for Jota :soon:

The saves stretched him. Yes, difficult to see 3 coming, but still we’re doing ok

He is late in his running and slow in handeling the ball, I pray to god that this is his last contract as a player.
