Real Madrid (H) Feb 21st [CL]

[Frogfish]

Absolutely no way with Naby.. in the big games, he's always found wanting.

We need to take a lead into the second leg. Naby should be nowhere near the starting XI for me.

He's a very good presser, good in possession and gets stuck in. Real will have most of the possession so Naby and Bajcetic is a great pressing machine, I'd much rather Naby than Elliott who'll be bypassed and offer little in defence.

 

[Frogfish]

Thought he was the odd man out in midfield today. Weak, slow and poor with the ball.

That seems to be the Hendo we have now. A shell of the former player. He is still damn good at pressing though - lots of energy the last 2 games.

 

[dee]

Right back first, that is why they have number 2.
Anyone saying different are traitors to be shot behind the shed.

Indeed, I wore 10 or 11 (and once 3) when I was a nipper. Left Mid or Left Wing. Always left sided and in those days lefties played left righties played centre and right

 

[Donavan Ried]

Quitely confident about this game. I think that Casemiro to Utd was a massive lose for them

If we make any change to midfield this is the only one I’d make. However I fear Klopp has Milner as his 4th mid currently

 

[tomasjj]

Agree that Naby, if he has found his stones, can start for Hendo, who can then come on when there is 25 min left.

 

[dee]

If nothing else Naby will be trying to impress for a contract

 

[Dreambeliever]

Fucking Naby can do one

 

[Shay_K]

Fucking Naby can do one

I very much doubt that.
.....show me evidence of him ever doing anything that benefits us.

 

[KopRed]

Fucking Naby can do one

I think he started one of the Madrid games and we lost the overall tie. He was crap.

 

[Fabio]

Naby fucking keita should stop being mentioned. I would rather have a worse midfield crisis than have him in the fucking squad.

He's a shithouse cunt, who continually lets us down.

 

[Fabio]

Shame he hasn't done it for the last fucking 5 years of his current one then isn't it

 

[Fabio]

YEAH LETS PLAY THIS DYNAMO

 

[Fabio]

That fucking shot gets worse with every viewing

 

[jan]

Remember that funny little comment about a game being made for Keita?
Well this one is such a polar fucking opposite of that I can't even think of a joke about it

 

[jan]

That Madrid game when he got hooked at half time is up there with the Harry Kewell stepover and Milan Jovanovic highlight reel for me

 

[HC]

I don't think they have our number at all , their goalkeeper won them the final last year , another day and we score 3/4.

Tricky fixture , not sure how it'll pan out but I expect us to give them a game

Problem is, psychologically they have the edge because we've struggled against them the last few times. It wouldnt' take much to lose the game

 

[bluebell]

I don't like Naby because he is short, weak, slow and most of all injury prone but he isn't the reason we lost the final. Every Tom, Dick and Harry knew they would attack our right, and Klopp didn't do anything to counter it. That final loss is on Klopp for the defensive frailties.

True but @The Nomad started the pre-match thread so there is balance

 

[Red Bird]

Well, who else? Keita against Madrid I still have nightmares over

That’s so last season. I have nightmares of matches this season.

 

[HC]

Will Nunez be fit for this ?

What???

There was me thinking it was to do with a goalkeeper having a ridiculously good game - but no it was all about or defensive frailties that led us to get smashed 1-0!!!!

 

[Hansern]

From Klopps presser:

 

[SummerOnions]

Jota will probably start then

 

[SummerOnions]

 

[tomasjj]

Let us hope that Valverde and Vinicius also gets the shits.

 

[Hansern]

Darwin took part in team training today, so should be fine.

 

[Dreambeliever]

I very much doubt that.
.....show me evidence of him ever doing anything that benefits us.

It’s a phrase which means he can fuck off!

 

[Farkmaster]

Let's not relitigate that game.

We lost and I don't want to think of it.
