ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3



I know we probably aren't going to finish top 4, possibly not even in the Europa places. But if the RS go out of the CL this round, I think we can all relax and enjoy the twist and turns of the EPL.

The thought of these twunts winning it again is too much to bear. Instead of "let's talk about six, baby", let's talk about 1985 and how you b*stards ruined football for a lot of other teams.
 
Just annoys me that it’s not even a challenge for them. They’ve just been obliterating Porto most seasons. Bayern turned up at probably their lowest ebb and they destroyed them. 5-1 agaisnt City over two legs, 5-0 up against Roma in a semi final. Spurs in a final. 4-0 against Barca despite missing Salah and Firmino. This is supposed to be Europe’s best in the latter stages of the CL and they either draw some team that’s won a lottery to get there or a european giant fading badly and they absolutely destroy them. The tie against Atletico was arguably the only one that get like a CL knockout tie evenly balanced could go either way rather than just a procession for Liverpool blitzing a team all over the park with the tie over after 45 mins.
You forget the >3 SD from the Mean of good fortune for 2nd legs at home.. probability about 1/8000 that they have about 70% of 2nd legs at home (and that's not counting the ones they earned by winning groups).

Oh and the ludicrously easy groups they had in 2017-18*, 2018-19 seasons.

* roughly the equivalent of Brentford winning this season's FA Cup having drawn Palace, Southampton, West Ham, Wolves, Leeds and Leicester
 
That’s why Alexander Arnold isn’t being picked for England.

We’ve been here before though. If they get one back they’re right back in it. I’d take 2-0 now.
