Champions League 2018/19 (130 Viewers)

[HelterSkelter]

I would be quite vary of facing Bayern. They’ve finally found their groove under Kovac and are clicking at the business end of the season.

Weirdly enough, i have a sneaking suspicion that Lyon might dump Barca out today. 1-1 or 2-2.

But then i also thought that Atletico and Juventus would draw 1-1, so screw it.

We are all obviously going to cheer for Lyon tonight but I wonder about Bayern Liverpool - Are we cheering for Bayern or Liverpool?

What surprises me the most is Salah going from a top goal scorer performance last year at EPL and even UCL and now not showing up nearly as often. I wonder if last year was like a one-off for him like some players have in their careers.

Ramos happened. Then he was rushed to World Cup. Think it has affected him one way or the other (body or mind)

I'm gonna cheer for Liverpool even though a Juve fan should never do that, purely for the fact that they're big bottlers and lack depth compared to Bayern, who are finally starting to rack up some very good performances. Just like us, Bayern are starting to heat up just at the right time.

There is that incident but I believe what affected him the most was the award season where he only got that Puskas award lol as a consolation prize.

He clearly lost the motivation after that to become better.

Our squad is pretty thin as much as theirs though. City and Juventus have the best squad depth in CL IMO.

Salah is having a very good season. There’s been a lack of goals in the last few games but he still has 17 in 30 league games which is a great return.

The Ramos incident really has nothing to do with it. He just had an inhumanly good first season at Liverpool, leaving the bar for him a bit too high. Everything after that will appear to be a downer even if that isn’t exactly the case.

How so, I'd consider us to have very good depth. Only definite starters in big games are Ronaldo, Chiellini and Pjanic, but for all other players we have 1-3 solid alternatives.

City is a weird team

On their day they’re maybe the best team out there, but still they seems to lack the final thing to go all the way

Seems like you didn't understand me, i already said that Juventus has one of the best squad depth in Europe.

The first day is against Southampton. The other day is the reality check every year in the Champions League.

They lack history. And they have weird fans. Sometimes they dont sing at all and home game has no atmosphere. Compare that to Pool, Bayern and even us.

In CL he has been quiet. No? Pool lost all away games in group. Even epl pundits said he didnt show up vs Bayern.

Well I guess Pep is gonna get it right at some point

Yes, when he retires.

There’s a reason it’s called emptyhad

But to be fair, Anfield atmosphere is also quite overrated to me when compared to the German standards

If you analyse the second thrust he just did. Look at it carefully.

Is that Simeone's head in there?

Experience. It's pretty hard for teams that never won it to get the CL, there's naivety that won't go away unless they win it at last
