Liverpool (h) CL QF pre-match thread

[Neville Kneville]

A Liverpool goal pretty much ends the tie. We must keep them out. Score 2 with any kind of time left on the clock and they will panic.

And so will Otamendi.

We assume that we need 5 or 6 goals, or are going out of the competition.

Can we score 5 or 6 v Liverpool ? Absolutely. Can we keep them out if we try to keep it tight ? Well we had every player back, when Utd scored all 3.

Bury the ****s, or go out trying.

If we take our chances, which we didn’t do on Saturday, I could see us winning by a 4 goal margin easily.

If we are in enough control and dominant enough to score 5, I don't see them scoring more than 1.

I don't see this ending 1-0, 2-0 or 5-2, 6-3 etc, either we go out an hammer them to almost no reply, or it's pretty even and we go out by a big margin.

You are probably right.

And imo the only way to achieve that, is to go out looking for 5 or 6 goals.

If Liverpool don't come out & score, the vey second we decide that we are playing for extra time at 3-3, is the moment Otamendi falls over. Guaranteed.

We're fucked with the choice of ref on Tuesday by UEFA too. Same guy as Monaco at home.

Possibly a good/bad thing, ref in charge has given 3 penalties in our last 2 games with him, just that all three have been against us!

He refd the home leg. Booked Sergio for diving when a clear penalty.

Yeah I realised I got it wrong - but I wasn't quick enough to correct it.

Ref = Spanish
Pep = Catalan.

We will get nothing from him

He reffed the 5-3 where he didn't give us a pen when aguero was through and give them one, and give 2 against us for Monaco, shows he isn't afraid of the controversy though which may be a good thing
