Liverpool vs. Madrid Redux

redout

Subs: Dudek, Saviola, Marcelo, Guti, Metzelder, Miguel Torres, Van der Vaart.

Looking at the Real Madrid bench I dont see much of a goal threat if they get an injury or concede and want to bring someone on. Saviola is the obvious one but lets face it his career is stuck in the doldrums.

Wonder what kind of odds youd get on Dossena scoring a diving OG header in the last few minutes of the game ?

Don't you dare......

Just on the Liverpool bench - There doesnt seem to be a lot of creativity there apart from Ngog. Gvien there is a pretty good chance that Torres is unlikely to last 90 minutes with Ngog to come on, I think we could have done with another forward as opposed to two CBs

Cavalieri,Kelly,Dossena, Hyypia, Lucas, Spearing, Ngog

I'll be watching on ITV. RTEs coverage will be the same script they always read from when Liverpool play, win, lose or draw. Weve heard it all before, so why give RTE the viewing figures ? Vote with your remote! (it is on UTV isnt it ?)

Good luck to Liverpool

hopefully we'll see a great game

LuckyLloyd

The panel is unanimous in their expectation of Liverpool to advance either with a draw or a 1 - 0 win.

So we're ****ed then.

lol, have you seen Liverpool play in Europe before? Whatever the outcome, I'll be truly shocked if this game is enjoyable for the neutral.

Not necessarily. There would be a half hour of extra time to be played out beforehand.

Just thought we could have say Pachecoon the bench as opposed to Kelly, if we were going to be throwing someone into it. I just can't imagine any situation where Kelly could end up on the pitch

Thought Eamo's first comment would be about Cheltenham - maybe the shortened coverage put the kibosh on things a bit

Torres shows a good burst of pace to win the first corner.

MementoMori

El Nino looked to be moving pretty lively there.

Oh what a touch by Torres and a great save by Casillas

oo nando

Davei141

What a start by Liverpool!

shotamoose

Stunning from Torres and Casillas there.

And Mascherano! Incredible start. Boring old Liverpool eh?

MementoMori

Decent effort by Masch and another great save by Casillas.

LuckyLloyd

Oh my!! Amazing from Torres and a great save.

And then Cassillas makes a wonder save from a super Mascherano volley.

Liverpool going for the juggler from the off...

If this is how 0-0's are played out,

i like it

MementoMori

Looked softish for the free kick there imo?

LuckyLloyd

This is how you play in Europe. Once again, Liverpool come out and work their balls off from the kickoff, pressing high up the pitch and getting forward. Great start.

ctrl-alt-delete

why does Gerrard do it, never touched.

joe123

wow what a start. Great skill by torres. Hope they dont knacker themselves out for saturday.

MementoMori

Madrid defence looking massively suspect. Acres of space.

Easy enough save for Casillas from the free there.

raido9

Sickening dive by gerrard. How is nothing ever said about this, he's one of the worst offenders in the premiership. Blatent acting.

Silly from Babel there.

Gerrard is basically a centre forward now

Little is said about it because every top level game across the world these days has incidents of players diving. Unfortunately, it has become part of the game and it's not really noteworthy anymore.

MementoMori

Blatant foul by Pepe there

Yup. Rightback -> Defensive Mid -> Center Mid -> Right Mid -> Attacking Mid -> Forward / Free role he has now. His game has been constantly evolving since he broke into the first team. And who's to say we don't see him as an out and out striker or back in a holding role before the end of his career?

Fckin beauty!!!!!!!!!!

Shocking defending though

Game over.

Pool are through.
