UEFA Champions League 2018/19

[FinnGooner]

Actual spending and budget aside, Liverpool are a club of similar stature with Arsenal in terms of potential and commercial capacity. The difference is: ambition. Their owner(s) wants them to be a big club so they act like a big club. Do what big clubs do which is invest in the team and sporting success. Coaches and players come and go, but as long as we have an owner who doesn't give a shot about sporting success, we will have no such success. End of. I ****ing hate Kroenke so much. And it's not only about investing your own money to the club. It's fine if you don't but hold people accountable and help them. Be interested. Make people at the club and.outside the club realize that you want success. Worst owner in football after Ashley.

Really pisses me off knowing Wenger had to go up against peak Barca/Bayern in the last decade, but Klopp gets to know them out when they're much weaker lol

What happend when we had much better team and competition wasn't that strong ? lmao.Wenger wasn't great manager for European competitions.

Did you type this with a straight face?

I suppose our strikers would get in ahead of Origi, but can't see anyone else getting in. Ramsey and Torreira possibly.

 

[Trilly]

This burns me more because Liverpool are everything we could be.

Surprised myself by how much I didn’t want them to win as the game went on. By the end I was screaming every time a Barca player lost possession.

 

[Mo Britain]

The truth is that this Barcelona team lives off its reputation and huge help from the media and, often, officials who may not be bent but always give them the benefit of the doubt.

When you look at them you see a team stuffed with too many players who are beyond their best. Expect them to start their siren-calls to poach as many players as possible next season.

Which is not to detract from the obvious achievement of overturning a 3-0 deficit at this level.

I'm serious.
If Origi was in our team, he'll probably be playing just like Iwobi. In fact, technically, I rate Iwobi ahead of him.
Take out Van Dyke, Mane and maybe one or two others, the rest of it is just coaching and mentality.

We literally beat both sides at their peak too. We beat Barca 2-1 in the first leg in 2011 and we beat Bayern 2-0 in Munich in 2013. Also the 2-0 win over Bayern in 2015.

 

[Trilly]

Why can't we have a ****ing moment like this

We actually don’t get nice things anymore.

We do get close to memorable victories and stuff but somebody usually bottles the most important chance of the game or commits a stupid error.

At least Ashley is actually a fan of the team he owns. Our clown doesn't even like football.

It wasn't always Real or Barca knocking us out. The list of teams who have done us I can't even use that as an excuse . Wenger failed miserably as far as i'm concerned, tactically in Europe he just wasn't up to it.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

what has started?

The cringe

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Ajax please, I'm on my knees here.

Liverpool force is their attack, Van Dijk and Alisson, Fabinho is not that good, crap.

 

[berric]

The 'mentality' that you talk about came with buying players that can instil confidence in the team and revamping most of the squad. Let's not pretend like this isn't Klopp's 4th season in charge.

 

[Big Poppa]

He has spent £390m total since he's been there. We've spent £310m in the same time period (haven't looked at net spend but i imagine they're better off in that regard). The difference in spending is basically Van Dijk. I seriously doubt adding him to our current team makes us a 97 point team and Champions League finalists.

In two years they’ve also ditched Mignolet, Milner, Moreno, Lovren, Klavan, Clyne from their defence. To say it’s just one player joining is ridiculous.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

If Ajax win the CL I'm heading to the Dam and blowing all my savings on booze, weed and hookers over there. I've got a decent bit saved up so the women in the red light distract will be very happy.

 

[Big Poppa]

Liverpool force is their attack, Van Dijk and Alisson, Fabinho is not that good, crap.

20 goals conceded in 37 league games and 26 clean sheets in all competitions, but yeah crap defence

Wayne Bridge happened...

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Hope this teaches us not to turn our noses up for some talents from lower teams or solid 7/10 perfomers like Milner.

Recently, Liverpool have done grand in the transfer market both at selling and spending their money.

A good mix of safe bets (transfer value wise) and high profile signings.

It also points that Emery, while a decent manager, will not take us forward.

While I agree with this the club would probably end up with sanogo level players from lower teams. Why do all of our signings go wrong

 

[Mudi]

Question for all:

Sp**s/Liverpool win CL and Arsenal win EL
OR
Ajax win CL and Valencia win EL

What do you choose? Tough one ...
