It's part coaching, part the player's natural reaction times and quickness, liverpool appear to scout for that when they sign players
Champions League Round of 16 (15th Feb - 16th Mar)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
De Vrij playing through a concussion this half btw. He's telling his bench he can't see....
Gotta love the Italians, they don't give a damn if a player has brain damage, just get back on the pitch now!
Perisic hasn't been anything special, he's simply their best player which isn't saying much. It like an old folks home over there.
Brozovic is class.
Isn't he running out of contract this summer? We should sign him.

The wankfest about VVD's pace because he outpaced Dzeko
He’s looked classy all game. Especially the moment when Lautaro didn’t even try to take him on shows the fear factor he has. Remember when we had that with Rio?
Just learned that Alphonso Davies is out with Myocarditis. Sounds very serious. Hope his career which was just getting started doesn't get derailed from this
Blows his whistle when we were through on goal with a few seconds spare.. right ok ref.
Most of them have a low centre of gravity.
First time I’ve seen this adeyemi kid and he’s fantastic. Wonderful movement and workrate. Salzburg outstanding - so much energy in that first half pushing right up and absolutely lightning in transition. Better decision making and it could be even further ahead. Great game to watch.
Agree. The best part of that sequence was that defence splitting pass. Yet all the talk is about VVD pace. A better touch and a faster striker would put VVD into shame for his marking.
Liverpool love in commentary is a joke.
Only problem is that he's a degenerate drunk gambler.
He's a good footballer though.
Awful half of football
It wasn't that bad from Bayern: they got into dangerous positions plenty of times, they just couldn't finish them. Leipzig didn't have much more than the goal either.
Seriously? Liverpool have gotten through midfield with ease and probably should have created more, Fabinho I think has been class.
When Thiago made that 50 yard pass to release Salah I thought this could be a good game. It hasn't.
We might just be able to get away with swapping him for Rashford without Joel Glazer noticing as well.
Decent enough game, just needs better finishing but I’m enjoying it.
Robbie Fowler, fat ugly bastard.

Most cases are mild, but there’s a risk for cardiac arrest so he’ll probably be sidelined for a while. In Denmark you’re not allowed to play for half a year if I recall correctly.
The only fear factor I can remember is the fear Harry Maguire puts into every man utd fan when he steps foot on the pitch.
You think commentators fawn over United's defenders?A Utd fan did not just say that?
Decent introductory half to this tie… Inter benchmarking their calibre, Liverpool pondering if they can bite.
Have you seen the state of commentators? Wouldn't surprise me if Maguire was their number one defender even now.
To improve without the ball, Serie A is still one of the best places to be
Inter are missing Barella in the midfield for sure. Vidal hasn’t been bad, but Barella adds a much different dynamic in terms of playing out from the back and linking to the attack.
Thought the same! Also plays with that same youthful exuberance and innocence that 20 year old Marcus used to before he started playing like he had the world on his shouldersWe might just be able to get away with swapping him for Rashford without Joel Glazer noticing as well.
Camara would be great for United!
What formation are Bayern playing?
Rashford better watches these young kids playing for Salzburg. That's how you press
He was running alongside Peresic and only beat him for pace when Peresic brought the ball down.
Vidal has kept that same hair style for way too long now.
Wing back system
We never question Mr T, and we shall never question Vidal.
Kimmich at RWB? Seen their line up and a bit confused
Coman and Gnabry as wing backs, I think
Gnarby and Coman wings back. Kimmich midfielder
