The Lars Ricken final.

Easy to forget but of his middling to poor managerial record, but what an underrated player Paolo Sousa was. Cl at Juve, moved to Dortmund, CL there (excellent in the run to the final too) and then moved to Inter and won the Uefa Cup the next year. Quite the run.

Some history there

Aye, was trying to figure out how many QFs we've been in? I make it 16 after a quick google - good quiz question if you can name all of our QF opponents.

Getting knocked out back to back in 82 and 83 were tough when we were boss, especially 82 when Villa won it after being completely shite in the league

Did Brucie fuck up in the away leg and cost us the tie? I seem to remember him dropping a bollock.

I was at thevWidzew Lodz game at Anfield and even though we won on the night I'm sure we were crap.

Yep we were 2-1 down in the home leg with just over 10 minutes left, David Hodgson scored the winner in the 90th minute, but we lost he tie 4-3, & they had the away goals too as we lost the 1st leg in Poland 2-0.

We seemed to come unstuck a few times playing Eastern European teams back then.

And add Dinamo Tbilisi to that list of crack East European teams.

Ha, I was going to post that Eastern European teams were always described as ‘crack’ in a way that Italian, Spanish and French sides never were!

What 83/84 team achieved was quite phenomenal,.

Drawn at home first in 3 of the 4 rounds, had to play Bilbao who were one of the top teams at the time, came through that after drawing the first leg 0-0 at home[apparently we were that good, we clapped of by the home fans at the final whistle in Spain], came through Benfica & Dinamo Bucharest, the Dinamo match Souness got one of their players with an elbow in the first leg & they were all out to get him in the second leg but came though that, the final against Roma in their own stadium

Quality wise no way, but what about effect on the team? Fernandes is not a great player, but he makes the Mancs tick.

Yeah, poor Ramos pulled his Phillips. I was really looking forward to Nat filling him in on a corner or two.

Dave McCoy · « **Reply #28 on:** April 6, 2021, 02:59:12 pm »

Yeah, they should definitely have done the two different time slots. Granted I think ManC-Dortmund will be terrible but you never know. Now I won’t be watching it regardless.

Gods_Left_Boot · « **Reply #29 on:** April 6, 2021, 03:05:09 pm »

City-Dortmund might be a high scoring affair but it won't be particularly close. Dortmund have talent and some dangerous players, but they make loads of mistakes, a proper glass jaw kind of side. If City are anywhere near their best they won't have much trouble getting past them.

Yeah, couldn’t care less here.

Even if they where different times, I’d not be wasting my time watching Abu Dhabi slowly string 49139129 passes together in the middle of the pitch, then burst into life once in a while, to score 3 or 4 identi-kit goals.

Bayern are awaiting a 2nd test result today for Serge Gnabry to see if he’s positive for Covid.

If he is, he’d miss both PSG games.

Miguel Delaney said something similar - apparently its all about Prime Time placement - though lets be honest - even if this game was on at 6am, the same numbers would be watching it, the whole world's waiting for RM/LFC.

What a break that is for PSG, both Gnabry and Lewa out, is a significant disadvantage for Bayern.

There is less time between with Bayern - PSG games, maybe that is why, if the press reports are right of course.
Bayern have confirmed he’s out tomorrow anwyay.
