Le Football 2018/2019

I'm sure there's been better goals but that's pretty amazing:

Should have never been nervy at the end as LFC had enough chances for 3-4 goals easily. Not sure what the deal is with Mane/Salah so far this season but they are not on the same page. Either way I'll take it. LFC is looking really good, now onto PSG on Tuesday!

I think both PSG and Spurs looked bad because LFC is really fucking good. They aren't bad teams and I get tired of people saying they had an off day instead of crediting LFC for making them play that way. There's only 4 teams in the world where we probably would not be favored to win in a tie, otherwise if LFC plays the way they can they should win. That's quite a leap since Klopp took over and with our finances continuing to grow there's no reason we can't continually build on this with only Klopp eventually stepping away being the main concern.

For PSG, the way they play obviously works in Ligue 1 and it's somewhat surprising that Tuchel isn't trying to change it. Either way the only issue was for our clear dominance we did not create that many clear cut chances. Our midfield played great but taking out Keita seems to dampen our offensive output as it was the lowest stats wise since the LCFC game which again had the same midfield 3 as last night.

Pool looked solid against PSG. Should never have been as close as it was, I thought LFC was a step above PSG for the majority of the game. In the end the result was the correct one I feel.

Now for tonight, we´ve got Man U here in Bern. The town is buzzing, not often we get a big team like them into our sleepy little town. Hopefully we can pull a repeat of 2011 when Basel beat Man U at home but realistically I´m predicting a 3-0 or 3-1 for Man U. We are 6-0-0 in the league so far with a +15 goal difference but that is the Swiss league so doesnt mean a whole lot. Either way the atmosphere will be great, first ever Champions League group stage game in the history of the club, sold out stadium, great weather, I´m really looking forward to tonight.

Well, for the first half hour it looked like we might give them a real go last night, then Pogba produced his moment of quality followed quickly by the ref fucking us and the wind just went out of our sails. I guess I should be happy that my 3-0 prediction was correct but I also think we could have gotten something more out of the game, a goal at least to salvage some honor. Ah well, life goes on.

At least City lost

I just watched the highlights but that penalty call was truly garbage. The stats show a pretty even game as well. Sucks you didn't get the breaks but at least it wasn't a walk in the park for them.

Yo Jozu, I think your boy Ronaldo might be having some rape/sexual assault issues. Sucks that he already admitted it in documents. Oh well.

Meh, I'm biased but it was a bullshit pen for me and the slow mo replays seem to confirm that. Sane was going down before VvD even went in.

I'd also like to know how many YC's Fernandinho picked up, should have been a new record or up there with some of Fellaini's classics.

Anyway, think LFC came out of this run alright. 8 points from 12 in the league with a much easier run coming up. Could have been better but it is what it is.
