We’d have conceded our customary 5 by now

Kimmich is a proper RB.

Each time I watch one of these Champions League games, I find the task ahead of us daunting. We don't have the athleticism, quality, intelligence or composure to lean on to win these games.

We could only dream of that defensive performance away from home in a CL knock out game that Bayern just pulled off.

Only tuned in for the second half. Pool attacking a lot, running at bayern non stop but with no creativity in the final third. Not too hard to defend for bayern till now, that right?

Liverpool has three solid chances (at least) in the first half. Could have been 1-0 easily.

Lets just focus on getting back in so we can get hammered in the first knock out again first.

We were laughing at them signing Shaqiri when in fact he probably would be a starter here.

Long gone are the days we used to cherry pick who from there will get into our team, most of their bench would get into ours.

Moreno, Lallana, Sturridge, Mignolet and Origi would get into our starting eleven? Really?

Milner/Henderson and Shaqiri would have a small chance I guess, but that's only because our bench contains much better players than them. Neither of them are a patch on Ramsey and Özil.

Easier to look good in a functioning team than in our shambles. Shaqiri is a nothing player

Milner could cover at fullback. Don't think any of them make the first XI. Maybe Lovern could make our first XI but you could debate whether he's first XI for them anyway.

Now their first XI is a lot stronger than ours obviously but there is no need for exaggeration.

That as well, but I think of Iwobi and Mkhi's input this season its just so depressing.

This is normally how they lineup so I assume the rest are their subs.

Alisson, TAA, VVD, Gomez, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Mane, Salah, Firmino

Subs: Mignolet, Lovren, Keita, Milner, Lallana, Matip, Shaqiri.

Shithousing from the first minute in the atleti-juve

City with the softest possible goal against Schalke. Schalke just stopped playing when they thought there had been a foul. Poor concentration. Silva stayed aware and wily.

What happened? Had switched to Atletico - where a near-penalty was avoided by VAR. In the absence of VAR, most referees would’ve incorrectly awarded the penalty to Atletico
