Liverpool FC thread

How many other third seeds won their group btw? That's where Liverpool were last August. The allegedly easy group may have gone all the way to the wire in the end, but there's no prizes for qualifying early. You won't find many top seeds thrashed 7-0 away from home by the third seeds in that, or any football group for that matter.

At least Roy Keane has upgraded Liverpool from a side he would rather pull the curtains than watch, to admitting the football is now "lovely to watch". It's certainly a lot better than what he currently serves up.

Some of the goals the scored last night were unreal. Fair play to them winning the group but you'd be hoping to draw Basel and not Real, Juve or Munich

Why can't Keane just say yep they played well, instead of making bitter, smart-arse answers every week?

How on earth pool drew in moscow against this lot. You can take that 1st seed and 3rd seed propaganda sh*te elsewhere. Considering two of the main contenders in PSG and barca are 2nd seeds, the new format in all league winners being 1st seed renders your comment pointless. But sure, whatever you need to use to get off between this and trumpf

That awful bit of goalkeeping by Karius for their goal (into the middle of the net ffs ) should have been rendered irrelevant.

They will always have that allure and history to attract the top top players.  English clubs will never have that. They can match the pay but the top players want more!

De Bruyne, Pogba, Hazard staying, Aguero staying. These are some of the best players after Messi and Ronaldo
