Topic: Half time: AC Milan 1-1 Liverpool

[jonkrux]

Ox has been the driving force, not sure why some have seen it differently

[stockdam]

Quite a few positives, Konate, Morton and AOC all playing well.

Mane showing the same form as Saturday which is worrying.

Cue a worldie goal from Sadio.

[Red Beret]

You won't see a more stark reversal of fortunes between two European giants. Here's hoping we go on to win.

[RyanBabel19]

Konate's been boss. Let's win this and be the only English team to win every group match.
Kids done well too. Think Ox was gash for the first 20, had an opportunity to play in Salah and fucked it, that seemed to put a rocket up his ass as he was brilliant after that.

I swear down Tsimikas on the other side isn't even thinking about football, he's just enjoying physically destroying the right winger, right centre mid and the right back in every single battle or 50/50. He's literally winning every throw in, free kick and contest.

Was just quieter than in the next 25 mins, gash is quite extreme

Salahs finish was sublime. Made it look simple

[Clint Eastwood]

Solid display from the fringe players in that half. Really seizing their opportunity.

Konate is a bit good, isn't he?

[Gray Hamster]

Serie A is a wasteland …
Milan in a must win game … barely a kick or a chance vs our reserves

The Euro’s have masked just how bad Serie A and Italian league football is.   They are a decade behind….. Just out of interest how many Italian teams are allowed entry into the champions league???     It should be 2 max and I’d argue for 1 only

Completely agree mate.

[b_joseph]

Every single player has been good. Nat and Ibou look very comfortable together.

Neco is really starting  to come into his own

[DonkeyWan]

Totally forgot this was on. Balls.

[Dree]

Some really good solid performances from the young lads, and what a finish.

Minamino wtf though 

[the_red_pill]

On a stream with 2 Japanese gentleman commenting. Dunno what they're saying, but it's a pleasure listening to them.
Phew- that pitch is bad! Ball's bouncing around everywhere!
Total misque from Taki there.

[kennedy81]

Crouch and Ferdinand talking bollox about Mo's contract.

'Give him whatever the highest paid player in the league is on'.

Not that simple lads.

[oojason]

'5 - Mo Salah is the first player to score 20+ goals in five consecutive seasons for Liverpool in all competitions since Ian Rush from 1981-82 to 1986-87 (six in a row). Famous.'

Hopefully.

Looks like he needs a goal.

To the neutral/non red, it's really that simple

Juve were pissing it every year, won 9 in a row because they actually did have a good team that could compete in the CL (the others didn't).

Now Juve have dropped down to the levels of the rest of the league which makes for a much more interesting and open title race, but it'll be a long time before an Italian team wins the CL again at this rate.

[the_red_pill]

AOC made that goal though. That's the AOC I remember from Arsenal and at his very best at Liverpool!
That drive!

[cormorant]

I bet none of them get out of the next match in those knockouts though

Would give Juve a fair chance, assuming that you're not commenting on la Liga.

[kevlumley]

I wish somebody would take that bloke's loud-hailer away.

It'd be near silence if they did, but still preferable.

Did you hear the PSG lot, it was 10 times worse

[12C]

Isn’t that the ‘don’t disrespect me’ ref? Surprised he’s reffing another Liverpool game.

Well he’s doing nothing about the Milan players attempts at Ring a Roses.
That foul on Divock merited a card. Stopped a promising break.
Top Italian shithousery with added dives.

[Gnurglan]

Poor defending on their goal, but AOC’s and Salah’s actions for the equalizer made up for it. Like what I see from Konate defensively. Hope we can keep our focus in the second half.

[Yorkykopite]

I didn't. It's anti-atmosphere isn't it?

[RyanBabel19]

AOC made that goal though. That's the AOC I remember from Arsenal and at his very best at Liverpool!
That drive!

Seen a lot of that this season, it's amazing having it back, transforms our midfield and he's a powerful runner so it's hard to mark. Its amazing how explosive he still is

[Sangria]

Any reason why the longest serving Liverpool player on the pitch isn't captain for the night?

[12C]

Ibra puts Cherry Blossom on his head
Pass it on

[Red Beret]

Solid display from the fringe players in that half. Really seizing their opportunity.

Konate is a bit good, isn't he?

Aye. If he keeps this up, that Mo lad might even get to feature in the next game!

[jonkrux]

Completely agree mate.

Absolutely.
Been boss. That's only good for us moving forward. Shades of before the injury, let's hope it continues

They get 4 spots, the same as other big leagues. Just because the PL currently have 3 of the best teams in the world doesn't mean other clubs don't deserve to play in the CL. If they reduced the PL spots when Serie-A and then La Liga were dominating the CL, I know how we would feel.
