Oh, I see what the problem is. Some of you are still watching a tournament we aren't in anymore.

Everton beat Forest away last week - making us look shite & the blues as league champions in waiting
No no...Everton were lucky against Forest.
Villa were great last night. I don't think PSG are the Brazil 1970 that we claimed they were when they skittled us; I think our approach to the games was the problem. They're still a good side of course but I think we lauded them a bit too much, probably out of disappointment at our own showing.
As I said in the Leicester thread……
Watching us in the last 5 against West Ham pissed me off because deep down the Klopp DNA is still there.
Being more sensible against Southampton at home means we would’ve beaten Newcastle and been the ones smashing Villa last night.
Still with a massive lead at the top of the league.

PSG are a very dangerous side but as we saw in our game and the game last night, they can be got at and against a good side in form, they could easily be dumped out.
The reason we got knocked out of the competition is not because PSG are amazing or because anyone can have a bad half / game or whatever... it's because we've been playing been well below par a long time now. We've been getting away with it domestically but that is less likely to happen in the CL.
City and Arsenal must fancy their chances this year. It's a weak competition.

City were knocked out by Real Madrid.
City were knocked out by Madrid in the play off round!!!
Not before PSG took their souls in that 2nd half. RIP City.
I'd say from this point (probably Madrid aside although I've learnt never to write them off), it's anyone's CL to lose. With the exception of PSG and Arsenal, they all have the experience and nous, time will tell whether either of those 2 can do what City did a few years ago and break that voodoo hanging over them.
Or alternatively all teams have good days and bad. We'll know which it was by the end of the season.
…and that would be fucking hilarious…especially after I read that Arteta is saying this could be the start of a period of Arsenal ‘dominating European competition’…
Oh what a fucking cunt
If arsenal lose this it's the end of arteta. There's a reason we all hate him and it's not because there's nothing about him.
I don't see if happening though. Real aren't strong enough defensively.

Nah their fans love him for the most part. He'll get another season, even if tonight is a catastrophe for them
I see him as a nearly man, who ended up shitting himself in the first year they challenged, then moved to a more defensive tactic. He reminds me of Rodgers.
I’d say if Real are 1 ahead on the night going into the last 20 it’s game on.
Rodger’s football is infinitely more attractive than Arteta ball.
Rodger’s was never backed to the tune of half a billion or more.
Thank goodness he wasn't, if the Benteke lash-up was anything to go by. Have a look at what Ian Graham's had to say about that and about dealing with Rodgers over transfers generally. Fabs has a point IMO - Rodgers went off the rails after we fell just short of the title that season.
Neither was Klopp and look how much he achieved.
Not bringing Klopp into the discussion. The original post was comparing Rodgers and Arteta.
At the very least klopp had cut his teeth at other clubs and had previous experience. Always thought it was harsh to compare
