Topic: Half time: Real Madrid 2-0 Liverpool

just need to keep in the game and at least have a chance in the second leg. Next goal is so important.

Wijnaldum captain, fucking joke, has been less than useless, playing at the tempo a tortoise would be embarrassed by and can barely make a pass, I don't know what the point of Keita was if we were going to play like that, he wasn't good but fabinho was just as bad and Wijnaldum much worse.

Kabab was doing well till that error with Asensio whereby it seemed at that point the whole team had caught the make mistake bug.

Devoed were being undone by a long ball between full back and CB every time. Not one of our midfields have tried the same, just flat passing behind every time

[King Kenny 7]

It was a weird half, might as well go for it a bit in the second half.

We looked like we were playing in shackles.

The Keita flack is ridiculous. Yes he wasnt at his best, But he was better that gini and fab who have been terrible.

Yes all three were poor, slow on the turn, needed two many touches and poor passes. At least Keita tried to run with the ball at speed. We need to get a grip of midfield.

Twice you've called him this now. You're weird mate.

Ah so you think Mane wasn’t a foul and he talks sense? You know your stuff don’t you 

[CalgarianRed]

Gareth Southgate is a c*nt.. (OK got that out of the system)

I don't know if its nerves.. I don't know if its the opponent..
I don't know if it's the shite pitch (lack of watering.. seems really dry and the ball is rolling slow) But all our players are misplacing simple passes.. Leaving balls short.. and in general have a
shocker..

Midfield hasn't got any control and the front three haven't got any service or opportunities..

Everyone collectively needs to pull their finger out and Klopp needs to give the HT team talk of the season.. Otherwise this could get embarrassing in the 2nd half..

Our worse players this half were Gini, Trent and Keita. Players who have won the CL/League in last 2 seasons. Can't be nerves.
Its not that they are facing peak Ronaldo, its a young player like Vinicius running the show.

Feels like Real want it more unfortunately. We need an early goal to have a chance here.

[Bucko - Dubai]

Why?

Everyone knows he doesn't want to be here. Hardly the most inspiring captain who wants to leave

[TheMissionary]

We'll just have to win the second half three nil.

[ToneLa]

pfft

Second legs at Anfield? bring it the fuck on that's our specialty

[JackWard33]

They have 2 goals to sit on unfortunately for us

And barca had 3 ... right where we want em

[johnj147]

Should have played same team as against arsenal..

[Circa1892]

Disgusting decision to give Wijnaldum the captains armband

I don’t see a captain in him at all - but he’s our fourth choice captain - that’s been quite clear all season. Would like to see Robbo or Fabinho have it myself but that’s the pecking order.

[naYoRHa2b]

No fucking shot on target again. Happening way too often this season

[Knight]

Klopp has got to take a lot of blame here. Why is he starting Keita then hooking him before half time? It’s not like he was more wasteful than anyone else. If it’s a pressing thing... what did you expect you’ve not given him any minutes for ages. Absolutely bizarre.

[jonnypb]

pfft

Second legs at Anfield? bring it the fuck on that's our specialty

Without the crowd and with our home form it’s an advantage to Madrid in the 2nd leg!

[**** The Pain Away.]

Nice to have a captain that cares...

[johnj147]

Come on. All take 2 1..

[TepidT2O]

We'll just have to win the second half three nil.

We’re only a quarter of the way through this game folks... it’s two legs

Plenty of time


(Also time for them to score more, but let’s ignore that).!
