Champions League 2017/18

Come on Pool lets get it done.

Great weekend so far with an ESS win, Dan the man on pole so hopefully Pool can make it a sporting trifector.

YNWA let’s do it

Hardly a rollicking start, which has me a bit concerned. Real playing the ball out from the back well, we aren’t really pressing them too high up the pitch. Need a bit more energy…

Sergio Ramos you dirty ■■■■.

Rolled him in purpose. ■■■■, this changes everything.

Did not expect this.

Salah subbed off due to injured shouldered suffered when tackled by Ramos.

Time to step up Mane/Firmino.

Now Carvajal is subbed off

It’s been a weird 10 minutes or so with these injuries.

Liverpool had all the momentum with Real pushing in spurts but now both have had a disruption, albeit bigger for the Reds but will be interesting to see if either can take advantage of this break.

He’s a dirty ■■■■, always has been. We’ve been able to get in behind a few times with Mane, he will be important.

Mane is the key for us now…

Amazing save Karius!

Mane might be the perfect to play Ramos as it is, physically he will go toe to toe.

Ball in the net after a Rinaldo header was knocked in by Benzema, but called for offside. Good save by Karius on the initial header from CR7. Still 0-0 nearing the break.

CR7 was offside too but not called.

Benzema wasn’t offside, I thought they called Ronaldo offside but didnt.

We need to get to half time to restructure, have looked all out offensively since Salah left.

Real look miles off it. They’d want a turn around like last years final if they want to win this

They play in little bursts anyway and are very potent which is the threat. A lot of shots when we have completed a bad pass or missed the ball.

Scoreless at the break. Real with a couple of warning signs late with that close offside call and a couple of strikes. We need to get Mane in behind more, he looks our biggest threat.
