Yep, I imagine Liverpool will have the semi won after the first leg so will be able to rest players etc. Can’t believe the luck Liverpool have had in their champs league run this season. Quadruple is very much on for themWinning the league just got that little bit harder.

Think it’s a tad disrespectful to Villarreal who have just knocked out Juventus & Bayern away from home, to say Liverpool will have the tie won after the first game.
It’s more the way they play and the fact the first leg is at anfield that makes me believe that.Think it’s a tad disrespectful to Villarreal who have just knocked out Juventus & Bayern away from home, to say Liverpool will have the tie won after the first game.
For example the way they take goal kicks with both cbs split either side of the gk and play from 6 yards is just asking for trouble against Liverpool with their press imo.
Liverpool thrive off winning the ball high up the pitch and villareal will give them ample opportunities to do that. It’s not disrespectful it’s just a bad match up tactically imo

Until teatime Saturday at least. Personally won't be too bothered if we go out tomorrow as it is probably our best chance of what would be a hugely satisfying double.Yep, I imagine Liverpool will have the semi won after the first leg so will be able to rest players etc. Can’t believe the luck Liverpool have had in their champs league run this season.

Your right, they have done extremely well and I hope that continues in the next round.Think it’s a tad disrespectful to Villarreal who have just knocked out Juventus & Bayern away from home, to say Liverpool will have the tie won after the first game.
I’m the same mindset, history suggests we’ll get over the line, but we are due one going against at some stage. This keeps us fans grounded and will keep the team honestWe’ve never bottled a title run in, so that gives me confidence. But then again, law of averages suggest we are due to bottle one. Fuck sake.

Or profligate
As in ‘wasteful’? I think we are wasteful in front of goal for the chances we create.

Going out today won't help us on Saturday at all. If anything, the players will feel fatigue a bit more. I remember a study showing that players don't experience tiredness after wins in contrast to losses. Losing vs Atlético would be a huge blow for the team and may shake our confidence. So, better we win, even if we need 120 minutes to do it.
To reach a CL final by beating Benfica (3rd in Portugal) and Villarreal (7th in Spain) is as easy as it gets. Liverpool are virtually guaranteed to go to Paris. Hopefully we'll reach the CL final as well. A tie with Real would be great. And the excitement from such a tie around the club would help in the PL too.
