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

[dannyboy]

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.

Spot on. I just love the way some pretend there's a remote chance of them going to impress their mates.

Toure played in possibly the greatest team ever . Keane was utd’s driving force in the greatest period in there history. But yeah Gerrard was better.

In Gerrards 'wonder years' he had the actual best midfielder they'e had in the Premiership era in Alonso next to him, no surprise that prior he was a bang average thug, and post he was an aimless wandering hit & hope merchant.

I'm looking forward to Marcelo against Salah.

Pace - check
Defensively sound - check
Will drag him in the opposite direction all night - check
Snide - check check

Lol the narrative on here about "Lucky Liverpool" is as blinkered as the RAWK fans you mock. Yes, Liverpool have had some luck with decisions against City & last night, but there's no mention of the 2 penalties Roma got awarded which were never penalties in a million years, the blatant push on Mane which could have been a pen in the first half, plus the luckiest own goal you've ever seen which gave the tie a more even complexion. Roma were never in the tie from 5-0 down.

Talk of Everton & Stoke keeping Liverpool quiet is a little misleading, as neither match had a full strength Liverpool side. Look to Man Utd if you want to use that narrative.

Madrid will rightly be favourites for the final, but both teams have strong attacks and suspect defences. The scoreline could pretty much be anything.

Anyways, enjoy the next 3 weeks of media hype of Klopp, Salah & co, chaps.

Have you come out as a rs yet mate, or are you still covert? I honestly can't keep up with you all.
I'm going with rs

Marcelo can be a liability defensively but if his head is on it, and you'd imagine it would be for a final then he is the worst type of full back to play against. He won't give Salah a single second.

Close this thread until after the final, if they win the damn thing don't open it until after the world cup final.

 

[roydo]

don't open it until after the world cup final.

[No8Bally]

Give CR7 a rest for a week or two - he looked a bit jaded in both legs against Bayern. Bayern are a top side like and deny space, but he looked a lot sharper against Juventus.

He is the key, not Salah. If Ronaldo turns a performance in the game is won.

 

[BHvisitor]

Then thing about Madrid is that they are clinical. If they'd had half the chances Bayern had they'd have won the tie about 8-3.

That Liverpool defence was probably the worst left in the SFs. Forget about Vasquez weakening RM playing at RB which wont be repeated. Against that Liverpool defence Madrid will fashion a lot of chances. Marcelo v Trent Arnold is a mismatch. And Ronaldo will cause all sort of problems drifting over to where Robertson will be. Benzema looks a force again and is a handful. Most of all the midfield will be controlled by Kroos and Modric who are far superior to Henderson and Milner/Wijnaldum.

Roma’s defence was shocking in both legs. Plus they could easily have conceded further goals.

They were ok last night. They were undone by Nainggolan's brain fart in the first 10 minutes.

In the barber's today. There's flights accom for 980- cried of wouldn't pay that/which pub you watching it in ECT. Would love to see us in a Euro final again. We would swarm the city.

Well we were denied that when they rioted and killed 39 people. We have to move on and get another team capable of Euro success...obviously not under the utter dickheads we have stinking the club out now, but sometime in the future if we can get shut of this gormless carpet bagger and the crap he hires.

 

[BHvisitor]

Your right mate but just think of all that expense, getting a good kicking by the Ukraine Ultras and coming home crying in their beer. Sweet

Hoping fellow brits and scousers get attacked overseas. Takes bitterness to a new scummy level.

 

[maccavennie]

Madrid with a 11-0 win will do me nicely. Something that will mentally screw them for years and years. More epic than Crystanbul, more funnier than Gerrards slip, something that every time we bring it up they start frothing at the mouth.

That will do me nicely and if that happened then the next 3 weeks which are going to be 'kin horrible will be worthwhile
