Unless you think scousers and arsenal are going perfect (which I doubt given they have to go to Villa and Spurs respectively + some other tricky ones), we can prob afford a draw. But we definitely dont want that to be on Thu given we also have to go to Spurs. I actually think we should win...
He did allow Caicedo to get away with murder but tbh he could easily have given the Grealish penalty (as well as the Doku one at Anfield). Neither were penalties IMO (particularly Doku's) but you've seen those given and if he wanted to stitch us up, those were perfect opportunities
That is of course true. But we got done over and over on their left in the 1H (and it lwd directly to their 2nd goal) and Walker would have snuffed that out. So prob a food chance we win at Bernebeu.
But it wasn't the main cause. That was the 12 mins of madness at the start yesterday. Still...
All reasonable points but there are counters:
1. Players will be tired but I think they will be doubly motivated to win (retain) the Cup. I think we will start strong and hopefully get ahead. We could become leggy in 2H, but Pep will need to make subs and trust our backup.
2. Not clear. We...
I thought overall we played well and never gave up. But I am still baffled by the first 12 mins when we were totally static with Ederson holding the ball for 15 secs at a clip. Especially given the way we blitzed them in that same period last year. .
All very true - but they are clutching at straws. All they have is "boring" and "115 charges". They are devoid of any real material. Which tells you who are the boring ones
I assume he means if they cant win it (either that or he has given up on Arsenal's chances which would be bizarre when 1 draw from us put them back in pole position with superior GD)
I am nowhere near the "playing with 10 men" camp but I do feel Haaland is doing less than last year. I remember more off the ball movement and some very good assists (1st goal vs Arsenal and a rifled cross to Gundo vs I think Everton spring to mind). Not sure why we havent seen that. Too much...
