Call me crazy, but instead of avoiding one of the best attackers in the history of the club....hear me out, we get him the ball.
We could have played better, sure, but not a bad half considering. A point sees us through - let’s keep it up.
Yes, even if Atalanta wins itll be LFC - 11 Atl - 10 Ajax - 9 Atl and Ajax play each other so Ajax can't pass us unless they win and if they win Atalanta is eliminated even if we lose.
Yup. The worst thing that could happen is we lose to Midtjylland, Atalanta beats FCM today and then loses to Ajax. At that point, we go to a H-H tiebreaker with Atalanta - we are level there, so it goes to H-H goal difference, which we win by 3 (5-0 and 0-2).
Shuurs is one of the guys with fake links to us buying him in January. So even though I know they are fake, I think he looks pretty good.
The only positive spin I can put on the midfield all being hurt is that Jones has gotten lots of minutes
He is having to learn a new role. With the under-23s last year he was the best player in the league and had a free attacking role.
