Corners have a 3% goal rate.

What does wdfafc mean? 

We do **** all from corners, just like all other teams.

Anybody else worried we might go 2-0 up?

It's a dangerous scoreline.

Tielemans not up to it physically? Pfffft.

Cracking header Ollie, but please sharpen up your passing.

I hope Ollie destroys any sort of " plan " they feel they may have.

The plan wasn't great

If he's been driving like an idiot, I hope this serves as a wake up call (and that no-one else was hurt).

The Spanish love their Stone Island. I'd never have had Xavi down as a wearer of it mind. Pau loves it as well though.

Nothing makes me feel quite as old as someone born in 2007(!) starting in a CL Quarter Final...WTAF.

We could just finish fourth

Liverpool's record against other top 6 sides this season isn't great (one win in eight, five draws and two defeats). In a table of the top six teams showing only results against each other they're bottom. Maybe we should back ourselves to do them at home.

But then again in that same table we only have one more point than them (won three lost five) and their only win against a fellow top six side did come against us

Is is just me, or is he giving prime Grealish vibes?

Get what you mean, but he looks trickier than Grealish. Not saying that means he's better than prime Grealish by any means though! Just a different style.

Werner is fast, relatively useful on the ball, but he couldn't hit a donkey's arse with a banjo. I'd rather play Morgan Rogers or Duran and let them reach their potential. 

I was never a big fan of his in Germany before he moved to Chelsea, however I thought he was very dangerous VS us the other day.

I agree though - rather play those pair.

Only one country gets it? And Italy are on the brink of securing it?

When you think, last season after Diego got injured we got Bendnarik on loan, then this season when Mings got injured we got Lenglet, it shows how far we’ve moved as a club. 
We won’t sign him permanently, but he’s played a part in getting (keeping) us up the table and deserves credit for that.

Completely forgot about Bednarek

Lille have some very technical players. It's going to be a tough tie for sure.

It all depends on how much potential Unai sees in him. He could easily still view him as having high potential.

Don't think I realised/took notice that KKH was a local lad...nice.

He’s going to have a great loan next year whichever team is lucky enough to get him!

Very little chance of him going out on loan.

Kamara is a better 6 because he's more defensively aware and better screening the back 4, but Dougie is just an all round better player in the opponents half. They're both great at what they both specialise in which are 2 completely different roles. 

Oh I agree. But if I was manager of a team who needed a 6 and an 8 in equal measures, I'd fill the 6 spot with Kamara. Best way of explaining it I guess. Or in FM terms, IMO Kamara would have a higher CA/PA than Dougie. But that's just my view.

It’s quite funny that Man Utd got absolutely **** battered by Brentford and fluked a point… then shortly after we absolutely battered Brentford and threw away a victory to get a point.

Yet we’re the ones who are going to collapse to at least 5 defeats in our next 6 and Man Utd are the ones who are going to go on a run of 6 victories to pip us to 5th

Mad how people twist things in their heads 

In fairness, challenging for CL is new to most of our fans as well as our players. Of course we'll be nervous about it.

McGinn and Kamara are better.

Luiz is overrated on here. Good player but we treat him like he’s a world beater when I don’t think he is tbh. He’s been average a lot this season in matches. 

Kamara is better, I agree. Kamara is different class. McGinn better than Dougie though? Not for me.

Nothing to do with the amount of injuries and suspensions? Or the fact we’re still in Europe? We’ll limp over the line, as these have taken its toll. It’s up to Emery to improve the squad in the coming years so this doesn’t happen.

Oh yeah definitely a factor without a doubt.

The post implied that we're mentally not as strong as them and that they wouldn't throw away 2 points against a team like Brentford.  Which the facts don't support.  I think we're pretty equal - we'll look invincible one match, less so the next.  They are probably just about favourites for 4th at the moment but that could change next week or the week after.

I just feel like we haven't played consistently well for a long time. Our performances of late leave me feeling more deflated than optimistic. A sign of how far we've come in such a short space of time and how competitive the league is I guess.

We've dropped 5 points having taken the lead in matches this season.  Spurs have dropped 20.  But yeah apart from that.....

And yet they're above us with a game in hand and superior goal difference.
