ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[Roger Milla]

Unless Zizou takes appropriate steps to stop Salah then the RS will destroy them. Letting Salah get one on one against Marcelo is a suicide mission. They should go 4-4-1-1 and play Hernandez and Marcelo down the left.

No it doesnt. But its more acceptable coming from players who show their arrogance on the pitch... and also their class off it. Alexander-Arnold played Mr Big with that tweet (or whatever it was) mocking us. He saw his arse last night with a shocking performance and one where he shouldve conceded a pen. Pride comes before a fall so ignore their crass remarks (remember McDermott?). And bring it on.

The likes of Ronaldo and Zlatan have earned their right to be arrogant. Lovren and Alexander-Arnold haven't. Yes, they play for Liverpool, doesn't make them good.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Can even begin to think what you are going through and how it will feel if they win it.

Hope Madrid destroy them.

I don't know how you're feeling... but we love our team more than we hate them..

anyway on another note: how arrogant is that new motto and scarf: Kings of Europe "we never give up" Like every other team somehow does give up?

Might leave the tactics to the only bloke who has defended the CL and has made the final in his first three years of his managerial career.

Dunno mate. I think UEFA are gutless in not acting immediately, instead they will wait till 31st May to possibly punish Liverpool. Too late then, their intimidating scumbags definitely got to our players. I don't want to come across all sour grapes but it's tantamount to cheating IMO.

tbf there's nothing sportsmanship in football anymore these days, the only thing which has made me pleased lately is united and SAF being so gracious towards wenger. I know it's not sour grapes, the majority of us knew that the tie was lost if they were allowed to get away with their premeditated attack. It's not what you expect in britain because it's not experienced over here. A team from somewhere like Turkey probably wouldn't have been bothered because they'd experience it regularly, it's sad to see a game not won on the football field.

But there we go, that's UEFA all over, the organisation which is littered with corruption and greed who are pretty much match fixing. Takes the fun out of football which is why i never bother with that cup. The RS Roma tie being released a day before the draw was even made tells you everything you need to know about it.

Ah well, they hate you because your winning things, just rub it in their faces the way they like to rub any win in every other club's face.

I would bet that 95% of them have not stepped into Analfield in the last 10 years.

"D'ya fancy Kiev lads?" Is doing the round a lot on my Facebook at the moment. They've never fancied setting foot inside Anfield in their entire lives so why even pretend they're trekking across to Eastern Europe to watch this game. They'll be in the pub as always with their 242 badges on crying into their pints when Ronaldo has ended them.

madrid have to worry 9as if they would anyway) about three players, the bitters have to worry about 6 or 7.

that's what it's like in south wales whenever they win a big game. except they've never been to anfield, nevermind 10 years. None of them have any jobs obviously because they wouldn't be walking to work in that attire.

Apparently it’s open season on Madrid because in a tie they were 3 up in they took their foot off the gas and this is evidence of their defensive weakness (a weakness PSG, Bayern and Juve couldn’t exploit in any other game). Liverpool concede 4 (could have been 8) and apparently that doesn’t count because the tie was over, Van Dijk is still a Rolls Royce whilst multiple winners such as Ramos, Marcelo and Varane are ‘flaky’.

Couldn’t make it up. If Zidane gets Madrid to the game with his first 11 fit and in form it will take a huge performance for Liverpool to beat them on a neutral ground. Instead they’re acting like it’s going to be a walk in the park, as though Mowbray’s West Brom team have rolled up at Anfield and are fumbling it round the back nervously.

Madrid took a B team midfield to PSG and absolutely decimated them at the Parc de Princes. They then just utterly dismantled Juve on their own patch. I’m the return leg once they snapped out the lull they just turned the pressure on and went up to a gear Juve couldn’t live with. Bayern are an incredible side and Real outsmarted them home and away, again.

There’s no way to predict the game, but the lack of respect in the English media for this Madrid team is absolutely baffling. This Madrid team have absorbed everything in the CL and La Liga from Simeone’s pressing, Barca’s tiki taka, Juventus’ defensive steel, the individual brilliance of PSG, the wing play and physicality of Bayern and have always found a way past them so far yet the kopite establishment is certain a bit of counter attacking kick and rush to three quick forwards will blitz them (despite the fact it hasn’t blitzed any decent team outside of Anfield apart from Porto).

Madrid would still think they could win the game if they were 3 down, thatsvthe level of belief they have in their ability. But apparently a bit of hard running from Hendo and Milner will be like nothing they’ve ever faced before.

Couldn't have put it better.

The English media though have got their team in the final and will enjoy themselves for a month. In reality they know the score. Liverpool are no match for any Madrid team that turns up focussed and ready to deliver another slice of history.

They've been so lucky in that their inexperience hasn't been tested thus far.

Porto- Awful side
City- No pedigree/inexperienced at this level
Roma- Average side/inexperienced at this level

Completely different story when you're up against serial winners Real Madrid. The likes of Alexander Arnold, Robertson, Lovren and Karius are going to be put under a whole new type of pressure when they're facing down Ronaldo and the rest of the Madrid superstars.

I accept there's a chance Madrid might lose this game, but that's down to them not being as good this season. Naivety won't be their undoing.

In fact it is much more likely that Liverpool will be the ones choking under the pressure. The mood in their camp will be "We're absolutely made up to be here", for Real Madrid it's just another day at the office.

Most of them won't even know where Kiev is, gang of absolute idiots. They'll have loads of fans there but most of them won't be from Liverpool. The ones that reside in our city are the biggest bandwagon jumpers going.

I even suggested cheap routes I thought of of the top of my head via eastern Europe via flights and coaches, but they truly aren't arsed. It's just a match on tv they can gloat about, regarding a team they care about for show.
