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

I’d bank on Madrid going through with some dodgy refereeing tonight.

Uefa want their two biggest cash cows for tv revenue in the final and they are one game away from getting it. Those covid losses aren’t going to claw themselves back.

Spot on this - citeh are nouveau riche compared to madrids old money, they don’t have the wider appeal or continental fan base that Madrid do, so uefa won’t want them getting to the final - gotta think of the sponsors an all that, with their “European royalty” who both wanted to kill football.

Speaking of refs, I thought the ref last night completely changed in how he was handling the game second half, compared to the first.

The usual fouls that the rs commit, that he was pulling them up for in the first half, we’re getting ignored and allowed them a way back into the game, following the spezial brau intake of course. It was obvious that he stopped reffing the same way, almost as if uefa had a word with him at half time perhaps?

Chelsea (Real) United (Atletico), City (Atletico, Real) all eventually hit a tough side. Even Villarreal had Juve and Bayern before the RS.

Been a cruise for them this year.

At least the final maybe entertaining compared to one of the worst finals I've ever seen that was Spurs v Them

They played Atletico in the group stage

Carlos and Cafu were up down and whipping crosses in , they didn't show playmaker skills in half spaces the TAA and Cancelo, both of there starting positions are inside left and right, Cafu, Maldini and Carlos never came inside dictating play like a CM like TAA and Cancelo.

Hakemi, James, Robertson are classic up and down FBs a threat in final third, they don't have the play making ability of TAA and Cancelo.

I don't know any FB besides them who play that way in the game right now, both can hit 60 yard passes on a six pence switching play with ease, comfortable being in the centre of the park while also doing the work of a classic FB.

No surprise a new definition of the FB role is because of the 2 best managers in the game who have made a FB on their team the vocal point of playmaking in their teams.

They will be the outsider at the moment as they are behind in the semi. If get through they will be a whole lot shorter

I have just checked with my Billy Hill account.

8/1.

That is huge, given it will be 10/11 your pick if they reach the Final.

I have invested £25 ;)


Halé Los Merengues :dance:
 
With our current woes I had completely blocked this lot out. Impossible now. It's everywhere. But to be honest I'm finding it hard to care about what goes on with them.

Honestly it's every game now. Some kind of monitoring needs to be done at half time with them. Must be the reason Klopp runs down the tunnel at full pelt every game.

It's now beyond a joke and I cannot for the life of me understand why other managers haven't said something. How can a team play that many games, with a smaller squad, than the great teams in the past and still win every week. Barcelona rested their whole team before the semi final a few years ago, the RS don't rest any players against Newcastle come back and win 4-0. Barca never raised any issues over it, add to the fact having numerous players with Ashtma should damage their players fitness even more. Football is a joke nowadays.
