League is not won (close though) - Europe is a bonus.
AM (a) - CLAt least type Atletico Madrid in the title thread but yeah let’s bring #7 home.
How do you nick something comfortably?Atleti are shite, draw would be a good result but I see us nicking this on the night comfortably. Going for another 1-0 win.
I reckon Jurgen will go with Mr reliable for this.

A bit like today?How do you nick something comfortably?
I'd be tempted to agree, & I keep telling everyone how cautious klopp usually is in first leg games, however, I suspect there's a chance he may look at how many key players they have out injured now & that will be back for the second leg, & try to get it won, esp if we look much the better side in the opening exchanges.I'd take a 1-1 no issue

I think we've been doing that for much of the season. We did it on Saturday. Being comfortably the better team without battering the opposition, and winning by the odd goal.How do you nick something comfortably?
I'll be extremely surprised if Keita doesn't start.
He was bought with an eye to play against deep lying defences using a low block, which is exactly how these play.
MM shouldn't been thrown in from the start and we need more creativity than Millie. I would love to Keita start in place of Ox otherwise the same team you have there.They're going to sit deep even at their place, I hope we throw another attacking playing into the mix... its a shame Shaq is out of favour but maybe something like this:
-----------Alisson----------
TAA--Gomez--VVD--Robbo
-----------Fabinho-----------
------Hendo---Ox----------- would also happily see Minamino or even an attack minded Milner here.
Salah----Firmino----Mane
Gini has looked a bit off.Who would he replace in the midfield 3? Fabinho? Gini?
Hendo will be waiting for him if he is.Is that thundercunt Diego Costa available to play? Dirty, pos fucker he is.
Atleti are certainly not as good going forward having lost Griezmann but you know they will be very well drilled defensively and very hard to crack open. My guess is a 0-0 draw.

I think anyone expecting an easy game in Madrid will be in for a rude surprise. Simeone knows his tactics and his players will surely raise their game compared to what they’ve been showing lately in La Liga. They won’t be afraid of us, certainly not at home, they will look to cut off all supply lines to the front 3 and stifle our game in midfield. They will probably have less of the ball overall, but when opportunity presents itself they will attack ferociously, inventively and in numbers. I think we’ll create chances, but we really need one of our front 3 (or VVD from a corner) to find an unstoppable finish at some point, because Oblak is not easy to beat.
