First Brentan, now klopp. Sell outs
Klopp said tonights game is like "a proper final".
Liverpool to lose then?

Sociopath on the sideline but getting Liverpool into the KO stage of the CL after they failed to do so for 9 years is respectable.
Could hardly fail with that group though.
He almost bottled one of the easiest groups in the whole competition.
Liverpool play the best attacking football of all English teams and probably top 3 in Europe. Hate to say it but it's silly to deny.
Scored more goals than City this year
Any team that loses a 3-0 lead against Sevilla is not good at any type of football. City and United attack with structure, which means they are not defensively vulnerable. Liverpool attack by commuting numbers forward and pressing like mad which constantly leaves their backline exposed after 1 or 2 passes.
Liverpool play brilliant football at times but they're also incredibly vulnerable at the back and have a habit of suffering terrible results out of nowhere.
Ran riot tonight
You're entitled to your opinion but they concede feck all at home. No team will want to meet them in CL.
Apart from the freak Moreno match fixing game against Sevilla we've only conceded 3 goals in our last 9. I haven't calculated how many we scored in those 9 as my phone battery is already overheating.
Fact.
Yep. Klopp gets so much stick here, much of it deserved, but his teams are incredible going forward, he really deserves a bit more credit on that front.
Guardiola and Mourinho make the pitch small which constricts the space. Guardiola does this by playing a high line while Mourinho plays a high line or low block depending on the opposition or phase of the game. Klopp makes one area of the pitch small by pressing with 3-4 players which leaves massive gaps in other areas.
Add to the above that Klopp seems to not care about a dedicated DM, while both Mourinho and Guardiola consider the DM position extremely important and you know the reason why Liverpool are so prone to losing a lead.
IMO you cannot have a good attack without a good defence and vice versa.
What's worrying is that it will be simple for them to improve their defence and midfield by bringing in new players.
Keita looks incredible and we can't rely on them fecking up their defence targets for another two windows.

They play a high risk strategy and they're pretty good at it. I find their attacking play the best in the league.
And have one of the worst defense of all English Teams. Attacking will win you nothing, a good defense will.
But I think I have to admit that attacking wise, they are the best, even better then City.
It is not fun to say, but the front 4 they got look insane. Coutinho is quite amazing and Mane is pure class. Salah well got speed and score a lot of goals. Those three are just up among the very best. Firmino complement the others very well too.
best manager in the world la
Coutinho-Firminho-Salah-Mane @ Klopp are a good combo. They actually have a ''smallish'' chance to win the CL.
Too bad for them, that the rest of the team is average and the market is inflated.

Will be a shame when they leave at the end of the season.
You just can't help but fear for them defensively when they come up against a big European power.
Sevilla: D, D
Maribor: W, W
Spartak D, W
RM, Bayern, Juve all runners up this year....

That Liverpool team is very dangerous in the knockout stages of the CL.
I think they can revert any away defeat.
Also is highly improbable they will lose without scoring at least one goal.
If they play against Real Madrid in the Bernabeo they will probably lose by 5-3.

Will be interesting to see how we cope, our big game record is poor this year which coincides with us dropping off the press somewhat. Honestly we aren't really playing the way Klopp fully wants atm, we have more ways of playing than his BVB side but we have much bigger chinks in the armour than when they were at their best.
VVD is a must and a defensively competent 6.
Their problems in defence aren't just about personnel.
In the last 9 games since the defeat by Spurs we have scored 32 goals and conceded 6, in the league weve concede 2 goals at home all season, besides the 2 poor games we had against City and Spurs, weve conceded 10 goals in the league all season, you and many others on here need to stop reading what the media have to say or the selective highlights shown on MotD, our defence is far from perfect i know and needs improving but its not the disaster you and many others seem to think it is.
Indeed. We could be even better in attack if we decided to ignore our defensive work too. So many people seem to think they just need to change a coupe of players and suddenly the defence is fixed and the attack will stay just as potent, but it's never quite that simple.
Agreed. The coaching is poor in that respect. When you see how we defend set pieces you can tell that it’s not just the players at fault.
I love our front four though. We don’t look anywhere near as reliant on Mane this season.
Also everyone on here and elsewere at the beggining of the season were saying how much we would struggle with PL and CL, well were 4th in the league and finished top of our group, were the highest scoring english team in the groups stages, taking UTDs record.
Pretty much every top team will want to face Liverpool in the CL. Liverpool's attack is good, their defense is comfortable one of the worst. Their midfield is ok. Top teams have quality all over the pitch, not just in one area.
I've seen plenty of liverpool this season. There is very little structure in that defense, and they are seriously lacking a DM to shield them. They are also a calamity on set pieces.
They have good forwards and thats it. You need quality all over the pitch to compete in the CL.

UTDs group wasn't exactly the group of death was it and if im not mistaken if results hadn't gone UTDs way you could have been knocked out.
Yeah because winning 5 out of 6 wouldn’t have been enough to go through
You are mistaken. Very much so.
Oh dear
We effectively secured qualification after 4 games. We had to lose the next two games by an aggregate score of 0-8 to not qualify. On Tuesday we had to lose the game 0-7 to not qualify.
Dumb statement, obviously any team can be eliminated if results don't go their own way. You finish bottom of the group and not win any games, you can say results didn't go your way. But as United comfortably qualified, it wasn't really ever in doubt and they kept their qualification under their own control, not depending on other results. Going into the last game and relying on not losing 7-0, but actually winning the game regardless is in no way fearing others results.
Bring on the knockout stages.
You can only beat what is in front of you.
Liverpool is playing well so far. Could unravel in January but things are good for Klopp and his team right now.
