Its going to be a good one for sure. Klopp will need to get the midfield right, but I think its far more likely that our defense controls their attack much better than their defense controls our attack and that will be the difference.
Sadio Mane eclipses Lionel Messi AND Cristiano Ronaldo with best goals per minute ratio in Champions League knockout stage history https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6937317/Sadio-Mane-best-minutes-goal-ratio-Champions-League-knockout-stage-history.html
Can, yes, .... will .... hmmm.... based on the obvious viewing that the other three teams in this thing play bette rfootball than Real Madrid did last year, that's a giant leap to take....
From H&G to new ownership to Rog out Klopp in, we stand surveying this, the sum of our dreams, potentially realized. We're now an established side with pedigree, runners up Champions League and Prem, with meat on the bone to eat, an appetite, fielding a stronger side, fatal flaw in net fixed, back four sorted, all healthy, all playing well. Years ago I would have wanted Spurs or Ajax in semis but with this side no way, Bring Me The Meal, give me 180 minutes of Suarez (will he be diving/chomping/respecting, who knows), will Countino make his way off the bench. Give me Andy Robertson bombing forward then trying to contain Messi, our emerging midfield vs their fancy midfield, a proper stage of history and consequence over two nights with Klopp lathered and the team hopefully nursing a 5 point lead domestically by the second leg, if not sooner. Give me that City/United draw, show me a bunkered side from Spurs shutting down City's attack, may Pep - with all due respect - run out of ideas and verve. Restore the old days. Lift trophies. Build statues.
Happy Birthday (early)... I'll take it on and arrange the trip...just send me a $2,000 deposit and I'll get it done...
Point is even with him not playing for various seasons hw still would have been ahead of Salah, Firmino and Mane if he played as many games as them each season
