Liverpool (a) - CL Quarter Final pre-match thread

Don’t liverpool play Everton at weekend too ? Wonder how they are feeling about that

The main thing that will upset me if we go out in the quarters is that this team would only have five games left this season (after the second leg).

I never want this season to end!

I meant Silva (bernardo) not David. With Raheem or Bernardo I think we have a couple of different approaces

Sorry... I'd play both Silvas in that case

So are they still planning on tipping over the team bus ?

Yes, they are building a ramp out of candles as we speak...

They're not dropping out of the top 4 in fairness, it's as set in stone as the title is for us.

All eggs in the Champions League basket for the both of us I'd imagine.

Presume Guardiola will be doing a press conference today?

At 4.30 apparently.

Watched the away game again other day, a lot of their pressing was quite clever, especially from Firminho but he was backed up well by the second press who worked extra hard on Fern. Firminho works to cut off the ball between the centre back and Fern so i think the key here will be Silva dropping into the spaces that opens up and Ederson pinging the ball over that press. I'm sure Pep has used a lot of these three weeks to analyse that but the biggest problem IMO will be lack of time to work on his ideas due to the stupid fucking international break.

Noticed it was pretty easy to create space between their centre backs against Palace, with Benteke easily getting in between them. So, Jesus' job should be to pull those two centre backs apart and allow the runners from the middle and out wide to get inside.

No Matip apparently. Out for season with thigh injury. That’s good as it means that donkey lovren has to play.

mmmm, Wolf and Hound, you're not Keith Laird are you?

It's Keith Lard, actually.
