Erithacus Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Liverpool had plenty of possession but were poor in the final third - so many of their passes were wayward. If we could see a map of where possession was lost it would largely be confined in Real's back yard. Although they had some good chances, Liverpool did not have as many as they should have. Result, Real pinch one when they need it. Edited May 28, 2022 by Erithacus typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I don't much like Real Madrid as a club, as I said last week but Courtois was very good. Don't mind a range of the managers too- Ancelotti especially seems a good guy. Liverpool did (I missed 1st half hour) all they could- all they could but score. That said thought Real Madrid did show more on the break 2nd half and some of their possession play and in tight areas at times was excellent even if only in fits and starts- aging side vs an excellent Liverpool. Name was on the cup in a sense- rode their luck vs a range of sides but came up with some moments or periods of excellence, though not of the level of the sides they beat in the knockouts, Inter in the group stage caused them a lot of problems home and away- which shows it was a tough run too.

Get to home games once in a blue moon because I still play. Make the occasional away games because we rarely sell out. if we suddenly became world beaters in the next 5 years I’d probably be considered a plastic Not quite the same, tbh not at all. Assuming you are from Bristol or the surrounding area- not that it is a bar to support of course- moving away quite far but still making games is frankly fairly admirable- especially with playing football too. A world of difference between that and "supporting" a side because a) They win a lot and b) One sees them on TV often. Further, there are shades of grey- family ties etc- but I am quite sure a lot of the plastics fall into the category of the 2nd line.
