And another !

eigrod · 27-04-2022 9:14pm

Mo and Sadio never pass to each other ya know

TitianGerm · 27-04-2022 9:15pm

That's unbelievable footwork from Thiago

Charlie19 · 27-04-2022 9:17pm

"Went down too easy"

Defender had him by the throat.

Titzon Toast · 27-04-2022 9:20pm

machiavellianme · 27-04-2022 9:21pm

Getting sick of these offsides. Now I know how other teams must feel playing us.

citytillidie · 27-04-2022 9:25pm

Shoot at range at this keeper he is dodgy

Fromvert · 27-04-2022 9:25pm

This keeper stinks. Keep shooting

mada999 · 27-04-2022 9:25pm

mon lads...would like us to get another one or two

TitianGerm · 27-04-2022 9:29pm

Mad man Aurier on now. Guaranteed penalty if Diaz keeps running at him.

machiavellianme · 27-04-2022 9:29pm

Diogoal would have about 6 by now. No exaggeration. He seems to always be in the right place at the right time. Let's see what he can do now!

Man Vs ManUre · 27-04-2022 9:30pm

I want 3-0 here before I feel safe to be submerged in the submarine next week.

tanko · 27-04-2022 9:31pm

3-0 would be great, don’t concede one is crucial.

TitianGerm · 27-04-2022 9:32pm

Always funny to see lads get caught up in their laces 😂

citytillidie · 27-04-2022 9:35pm

Ahh Naby lad

Cartman78 · 27-04-2022 9:40pm

A Big Div brace would be nice to put this tie to bed

TitianGerm · 27-04-2022 9:41pm

Saw a stat earlier saying he has 2.67 goals per 90 this season!!

eigrod · 27-04-2022 9:49pm

Shocking decision that

citytillidie · 27-04-2022 9:49pm

2 mins for 2 goals subs and time wasting this ref is not good at time keeping is he

BorneTobyWilde · 27-04-2022 9:49pm

Where is VAR to say it's not a foul, it's a dive , book em .

retalivity · 27-04-2022 9:50pm

2 mins and there's been 9 subs....

citytillidie · 27-04-2022 9:50pm

Wrong thread

eigrod · 27-04-2022 9:51pm

great win. Extremely comfortable. Salah getting his usual stonewall pen turned down but shouldn’t matter hopefully.

TitianGerm · 27-04-2022 9:51pm

Job done for the first leg. Same again next time now.

BorneTobyWilde · 27-04-2022 9:51pm

One more goal over there and it's over.

Fromvert · 27-04-2022 9:52pm

They're not really up to much and didn't create anything. If they open up even a little bit at home we'll score a few.

Another CL final coming up!

Ken Tucky · 27-04-2022 9:53pm

Mane limping there???

Good performance...really annoying that we have to go to Newcastle so early on Saturday but these lads are on a mission 👌

McFly85 · 27-04-2022 9:54pm

Could have been more, possibly should have. I’ve never seen a team fully committing to waiting to the second leg to have a go.

But 2 goal lead, and by the looks of it not much energy spent by the lads ahead of the weekend, grand job

27-04-2022 9:56pm

Really solid display, great win, patience, disciplined, creative, no mistakes. Could have been 4:0, but also could have been 0:0 with the way Villarreal set up to defend. Wouldn’t say the tie is over, but I can’t see them beating us by 2 in Spain.

patsy sally · 27-04-2022 9:59pm

Comfortable enough in the end surely they won't be as defensive next week,on to the weekend another tough game at Newcastle but that's the joys of been up there challenging for top honours..

Charlie19 · 27-04-2022 10:03pm

Well that couldn't of went much better..

Two goal lead, clean sheet and used 4 subs with Saturday in mind.

Tricky away fixture now to Newcastle with an early kickoff.

Fitz* · 27-04-2022 10:07pm

Job done tonight, which is the main thing.

Kind of took the foot off the gas in the end, conserving energy rather than chasing more goals. Can't argue against that. Controlled the game overall and didn't give Villarreal sniff at getting their own goal.

Thought the midfield was strong overall. Thiago brilliant. Fabinho I thought was off first half but second half was immense. A one man counter attack counterer if you will! Salah & Diaz very good also I thought, especially at keeping the width and stretching play before coming inside.

dogbert27 · 27-04-2022 10:09pm

Fair play to Klopp and the coaches. They got the tactics spot on tonight.

Villareal had 1 shot at goal and 0 on target up to the 82nd minute.

The lads pressed and hounded them souch for 93 mins they couldn't even spring a real counter attack.

Rinse and repeat for the second leg.

2-0 up at half time in a CL final and no injuries. You can't have any complaints with that.

dogbert27 · 27-04-2022 10:14pm

Will Bobby be back for the weekend?

giveitholly · 27-04-2022 10:19pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118986032#Comment_118986032

I wonder is Bobby's injury more serious than they are saying when Origi is after coming in from the cold the last two games and got minutes?

Agent Coulson · 27-04-2022 10:42pm

These last couple of games this season is where Thiago will be a big bonus in the dressing being a serial winner year in year out and knowing that pressure.

Yes most of the players have now won a title a champions league but Thiago knows how to win multiple titles in a season.

BorneTobyWilde · 27-04-2022 10:43pm

We're so consistent, the expectation to win is there always, and delivered upon so often that it's becoming more stimulating to the heart and mind to lose.

Fitz* · 27-04-2022 10:46pm

One thing on squad rotation etc. Klopp is using it a lot more now, naturally enough but some little thoughts I had tonight.

First half especially but while Diaz was on the pitch, I thought that Robbo was not as swashbuckling as much as he can be. It was more that he let Diaz do the hard sprinting wide on that wing and Robbo backed him up when needed. Diaz worked hard for the 70 odd mins and was even chasing back etc before a fresh Jota got a run at the defender then. But also Robbo had that extra bit in the tank to up his level then and it keeps him that bit fresher for Saturday too where it may be more of a swashbuckling game for Robbo with Jota or Mane ahead of him this time cutting inside.

On the opposite flank, Trent did a lot of running up and down and inside and so that is why he came off for a bit of a rest. Salah only really stayed wide and cut in. Salah didn't go chasing back at all. He conserved his energy and can be fresher to go running more Saturday now also while Trent might be that bit deeper again and more reserved with Matip coming in beside him.

Well probably see Keita start that game now and have 90 in his legs too. Maybe give Thiago a break now.

27-04-2022 10:55pm

Going back to an earlier conversation about Hendo, I thought passing was more fluid on that side before Keita came on and defensively it was a little more ragged when he left. Keita offers huge benefits driving forward but if the other team has a good player on that side, he doesn’t offer the same protection when TAA goes forward by tucking in to cover at RB. Hendo has to play as much as possible from now til end of season against any team with a descent left winger/full back.

BorneTobyWilde · 27-04-2022 11:23pm

It was more faith than performance, it feels like the final beckons. Same in league, faith will play it's part, either way.

BorneTobyWilde · 28-04-2022 12:39am

We went away to City and played a highline, nearly lost the match in first 30 minutes, but it's what we do, and it was a one off game, and we wanted to win it.

So how do we play away to Villarreal, we're 2-0 up, it's a two legged tie, and we don't need to win there.Continue to play a high line, and concede many chances, and look to var to confirm, '' off side by the hair on his chin''

Shirley we'll see a different approach considering what is at stake, Villarreal have score 38 goals at home, more than Real Madrid, Barca, Atletico , and anyone else in La Liga. It's a tough place to go, fans are so passionate, only 2 defeats at home.

But in saying all that, I know it will be 4-3-3, and business as usual. Are we a one trick pony.......but what an amazing trick, going for a quad.
