That was a sloppy game for us, but credit to Watford for playing like a mid to upper mid table team. Those two howlers by Sarr (?) were fortunate for us. Three points.
Bricks were shat on that VVD back pass. The Klopp reaction was perfect. FYI Pearce reporting that Lallana officially leaving the club after this season. Also Salzburg sat Minamino today, their last game until February. Officially a thigh injury, but Hwang and Haaland sat as well wink wink.
Only need to watch the first 30 seconds of this video, but it is clear that Sarr really looks up to Mane and it is very sweet that he wants to look after him. I want Watford to stay up, mostly because I love Elton John and want him to be happy.
We get Atletico Dortmund v psg Real Madrid v man city Atalanta v Valencia Chelsea v Bayern Munich Lyon v Juventus Spurs v Leipzig Napoli v Barça
That’s a great draw for us. Madrid get City (and City get Madrid) and Barca and Napoli can fight to the death.
Joao Felix is some player. Worried they'll score on the break. I think we'll go through but this was the hardest draw IMO.
Hasn't Costa been hurt? Not sure if he'll be back by then. Morata has been their main striker no wonder they're struggling for goals.
20 million years from now sounds about right for Burnley to pay 125 million for a teenage attacking midfielder.
Ya but they've only given up 10. I hate this draw. They'll sit deep and all it takes is one fuck up and they score. I'll take a 0-0 there and then hope we win at Anfield.
Simeone is the opposite of Klopp. We drill our players on high press to win the ball back. Simeone has his teams drilled down to defend in their own half like machines & then spring on the counter.
The next 5 weeks are fucking brutal. @Leicester, Wolves, Sheffield, Everton FA Cup (don't give a shit about this, play the kids), @Spurs, United, @ Wolves. 6 games against the top 8 and a derby cup game.
If Mo turns a hot streak into a hot month I like our chances of staying unbeaten. Mourinho fuckery will be at peak levels @spurs that’s the one I resign myself to being a bullshit game ahead of time.
I'm more interested to see how Klopp treats tomorrow. Does he go 100% for both games? Does he rotate tomorrow and go full strength in the final?
Hope he mixes things up and let’s some of the younger guys get on the field, especially in the first game.
