This football gods thing rings so true, admittedly they're a much better team than us atm but whilst we're having a massive injury crisis their best players seem fucking invincible.
It wouldn't surprise me if Salah has woken up the find that the football gods have gifted him a third leg or a pair of fucking wings whilst he slept.
****s.

Third legs do exist. I’ve got one myself. Mates call me tripod.

i honestly can’t wait for this to be over.

it’s going to be Bayern all over again. except we won’t get 2. massacre incoming.
I think there's a bit of mythology creeping up about the Bayern home match. People speak of it as a wipe-out. It was nothing of the kind. We played excellent football - and arguably outplayed them - for about one third of the match, scored a goal and then conceded, as is our recent habit, just before halftime.

In the second half, not only did they make crucial tactical adjustments that worked, but they were also incredibly fortunate in the latter stages of the game, after we got it to 2-4, because every damned shot they hit went in.

My aspirations for this game are that we play some energetic, skilful football and score a goal or two. If that suffices to get us a draw, great, it's a result.

What I don't want is for us to look clueless and sluggish, for us to get smothered and pressed to death, with the ball being repeatedly coughed up in midfield after less than 10 seconds of possession. We have pace and they play a high line. We should be able to nick a goal at some point, preferably not when we're already 2+ down, if we can retain possession and move the ball forward swiftly, either on the ground or in the air.

I also have the vain hope that people here will not reflexively blame every Liverpool goal on a Spurs defensive error. We are playing what is arguably the best team in the world right now. They score goals because they are good, not because opponents fuck up.

I'll be intrigued to see what our 'tactical genius' manager comes up with for this one.

We've yet to see one of Jose's famous tactical masterclasses so far, time to see if he's still got it.
