Champions League 2017-18

[Marty]

I know Kroos has a divine passing technique and ability but he isn't half slow sometimes.

 

[ajspurs]

I know Liverpool have lost their main man but this final is turning into a limp squid. I thought it was going to be an attacking masterclass tonight.

I'm delighted it's not to be honest, as I think if it were Liverpool would come out on top for sure. But maybe you're one who doesn't mind so much about the outcome

 

[C0YS]

I find it astonishing that one player can change the game that much... Liverpool just not pressing anymore

They are pressing, its just Madrid have stepped up, playing much higher up because they are no longer scared of Salah's pace.

This is a World Cup referee who will have been training to keep his flag down in that situation for VAR purposes. He very well could have been flagging Ronaldo offside, but kept this flag down that extra second. We will probably never know.

Maybe, but he would have been incredibly late if he was flagging for Ronaldo. He was late enough for Benzema.

If Ronaldo's word wasn't law in that dressing room Real would've bought another top striker years ago.

It works quite well for them though doesn’t it

I'm not watching it as I'm out, but the video doesn't look at bad as the reaction on here. Ramos is a dirty player, but he'd be doing well to have done this intentionally imo

 

[midspur]

Wish Mcmanaman would dislocate his fucking shoulder.

His jaw would be better!

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Come on Liverpool. Smash these tossers. Losing salah has taken the wind out of their sails.

 

[Streetspur77]

Ramos is going to have to go into hiding for the rest of his life if Liverpool lose this. Scousers will be hiding in his attic, his garbage, everywhere.

Especially his garbage

You not watching Rte2 Wert ?

Don't have RTE in HD.

 

[nailsy]

At one time he was our best attacking player as well. Think his inclusion has more to do with Liverpool’s lack of depth than anything else.

Yeah, he was a nailed on starter for us before his injuries. Gutted he'll miss out, but he's barely figured this season.

 

[Yid-ol]

Real just seem so slow in the final 3rd. Just need to up the pace or play a quicker ball and they will be in for a few more chances.

 

[C0YS]

Wow what a boring boring half of football. Madrid have the edge I think.

 

[Spursh]

Modric is still the best midfielder in the world.

And Croatia - in him, Rakitic, Kovacic, Brozovic, and Badelj - arguably have the best midfield options at the WC, perhaps only after Spain.

Maybe, but he would have been incredibly late if he was flagging for Ronaldo. He was late enough for Benzema.

That's not late in the VAR world. ARs are now being training to do exactly what he did if a scoring chance appears imminent. Put the flag up after the scoring chance happens -- even if it's really late.

Good old Raj. You can always rely on him for spot on, up to date and professional analysis.

 

[Vwbottom]

Nah mate, I'd rather rise above that pettiness. Hate the fans, not the players.

Salah got involved in that and probably made it 10x worse, what goes around etc etc.

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

Nah mate, I'd rather rise above that pettiness. Hate the fans, not the players.

I didn't say I hated him, I said Fuck em, I don't feel sorry for him going off after his snidey tweets. That's karma.

But I don't want him to miss the world cup.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Amazing how much the overall quality of Liverpool drop when Salah is off

Bit like us with eriksen, except we just forget how to attack. We don't forget how to press, retain possession or defend

 

[Ekmek]

Ramos is such a dirty player. I hate Liverpool but to keep an hold of Sahlas arm there is discraceful. I hope someone breaks Ramos leg.
