With lovren going of again today we are seriously thin on CB going into this busy period. Gomez and VVD need to stay fit and be careful with cards
Excellent - we finish top of the group!! 2nd leg at Anfield in the Round of 16 And back to back clean sheets - Alisson with some big big saves early.
Absolutely no reason Henderson can't play CB in the Club WC if it comes to it. Or James Milner. Its a piss-take competiton and they should be good enough for it.
Show their class today. Would have even shown better if Salah did better than scoring on 1 out of 6 good opportunities. Of course he scores the most difficult one
Group winners. It doesn't guarantee an easier draw but it increases the chances. I really like RB Salzburg. Best of luck to them and their American coach in Europa League. There is a lot of young talent there that will be picked off sooner rather than later.
Its true though, the more chances a team creates the more mistakes the opposition will make, whether that is weak goals, own goals or conceding penalties.
A clean sheet, yay. Great second half— Keita easily our best player. Mané caused problems but I was yelling at Salah all first half long and then he only goes and scores that outrageous goal. If’n Haaland is going to Man U, he’s got a taste of what we’ll do to him.
We are the CL Champions and that was as good a European away performance you would see. Should have easily been 5 nil if not for our profligacy in front of Goal. Keita,Gini & Hendo were Massive in midfield and Allison's early double saves had shades of his block on Milik same stage last year. Europe be Warned.We want to Defend our Crown. YNWA.
Top with 13 pts Great defensive work...Ali, Big Virg, Lovren... Naby Keita doing what we have been hoping for since he came aboard two years ago, now two games in a row... and we go again on Saturday...
Superb 2nd half performance. Keita was excellent, just what we wanted from him. RBS will tear up the Europa if they play anything like this. Terrific team.
