[Shay_K]

Joego and Divock

 

[Shay_K]

No 3 please lads

 

[Holle]

Gomez. Strange.

 

[Bradley]

I'd love a wee bit of Divock madness.

 

[KopRed]

Fab might need a break as well.

 

[Athens]

This scoreline is flattering for the Spanish

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Nice from Jota

 

[Shadey]

No 3 please lads

No 7 please lads.

 

[Shay_K]

FAB

 

[SummerOnions]

Fabinho is one of the best in the business I love it

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Another Fab tackle

 

[KopRed]

Will take this score.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Could have won this by 4 or 5

 

[Shay_K]

Ft 2-0

 

[Shay_K]

Stubborn Villarreal

 

[Shadey]

Wow 43 wins from 55 games this season.

 

[Athens]

Could have won this by 4 or 5

Indeed. Alisson had fuck all to do too

 

[Donavan Ried]

Ideally we would have like the two goals ruled out for offside allowed, but I am happy enough with the score

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Would Virgil miss the final if he gets a second yellow in the return leg?

 

[Farkmaster]

What an odd game. Didn't feel like a semifinal at all.

 

[mwake]

A decent result, we just have to stay focused enough and wait for Villareal to come out of their shells in the second leg and then hit them hard when they do.

 

[Shay_K]

They can't sit back like they did tonight for their home leg, I expect us to score over there.

 

[Hansern]

We were fantastic. Anfield was bouncing. 2-0 is a great lead to take to Spain.

Up the Reds!

Would Virgil miss the final if he gets a second yellow in the return leg?

I think they changed the rule so 2 yellows don't give a suspension in final. So only a red would do that

 

[Jürgen4PM]

I think they changed the rule so 2 yellows don't give a suspension in final. So only a red would do that

Thanks Tom.

I'll be able to sleep tonight now!

 

[Modo]

I think they changed the rule so 2 yellows don't give a suspension in final. So only a red would do that

Wasn't it 3 yellow = 1 match suspension
Accumulated yellow cards are wiped after the quarters.

 

[Shay_K]

Yellow cards are cleared after the Champions League quarterfinals

Easy nights work. 8 wins to immortality.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Easy nights work. 8 wins to immortality.

We can afford to draw the return leg of this, 7 wins outside that game, would give us a treble and possible quad.
