Our last look back on a game for 2017-18 is the biggest game of the season — the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid.
How well did Liverpool do in the contest prior to Mo Salah going off and prior to Gareth Bale’s overhead kick? Do they deserve more credit than they are getting due to Loris Karius’s errors? Do they need to be more streetwise with the officials?
It is our last look at a game which has sadly not gone the way we would all have liked it. Hosted by Neil Atkinson and with Ben Johnson and Paul Cope, it is our final foray into the final.
Will Jk win Pl or cl at Anfield? How long will it take? Third pot in Cl draw is very tough.
If not, what then?
Liverpool havent won the League in 28 years!
Klopp doesnt have to win trophies. What he needs to do is move this club forward to a state where we are able to challenge for trophies consistently. And he is doing that at rapid speed.
But that doesnt mean we will actually win those trophies. Because guess what, the competition is big and the footy wont always go in your favour. Kyiv being the best example.
There are no guarantees for trophies and if you think this whole project we are witnessing is pointless unless we win silverware, then this whole thing of supporting Liverpool maybe aint for you!
Up the ever-improving Reds!
Managers and clubs are judged solely by the quality and quantity of trophies the win.Rafa and Ged were a success, Evans,Rodgers, Hodge, were a flop and sacked. Close wasn’t good enough for Atkinson and Sexton
What a bizarre love affair with Ramos.
The only thing i can agree with is that our players should have been all over Ramos and the ref after it. We are way too passive and accepting of these things.
We are definitely too nice. But then again, the manager sets the tone. And maybe he doesnt want his players to act like that.
The biggest pity is that we couldn’t just watch the Reds play full strength against Madrid. We could’ve won it, could’ve lost it, but it would have been a great game. Instead, we got a tactical non-event. A handful of key moments & one manager with a bigger toolbox than the other.
Don’t think I can listen to any more content about that game. It’s too painful! Upwards and onwards reds!!
Good show lads Great listen,
we were brilliant and are. there was to much about us going into it and we had rotten luck in general. ramos is a dirty bastard. why wasn’t this picked up in advance by the team to protect the lad, was it?! I think questions against us all so. hopefully we’ll get a lad that’s not a nice guy either.
he should of thrown on Ings down the middle, mad I know buts that how we win
Really mad; pay attention, Ings was in the stand not on the bench
lads , Lallana days over, good player but not a Red arrow. as in directness against the opposition. fair play to you lads travelling.
Well done getting through that one lads.
It couldn’t have been much fun having to trawl through the game again.
Liverpool Football Team – graveyard for Real madrid managers.
The judo stuff and the petition is a bit mad, but there is a point to it. The injury is still definitely because of Ramos even though it’s the other arm. That’s the whole point of it being illegal in judo… because of the torque it places on the body, it forces his other side down on the ground harder than a natural fall. There’s very little you can do unless you’ve learned how to fall when being forced to the ground. Expecting a football player to know how to fall in those circumstances and then praising the player who injured your best player. This is where we can all believe that TAW has no editorial line because that’s pretty much treason, if there ever was such a thing among fans.
Yellow for the foul on the spot. Red for the elbow. The combination warrants a UEFA review, which should confirm violent conduct. The intent is easily clear enough if you watch his eyes and body movements.
Just subscribed today to TAW. Great work lads. Keep up the good work.
