[Scouse Hibee]

Liverpool's team :faf: have we mixed it up with the League Cup

Liverpool: Mignolet; Manquillo, Skrtel, Toure, Moreno; Lucas, Can, Allen; Lallana, Markovic, Borini.

Come on you REDS :greengrin

As a non follower of English football, I have not heard of one of those players. Not one!

That reads like the list of ingredients on something bought from the super mercado :wink:

Liverpool: Mignolet; Manquillo, Skrtel, Toure, Moreno; Lucas, Can, Allen; Lallana, Markovic, Borini.You never know ..that team might cause a shock .......if they manage keep the score down to at least 6 ...:greengrin

[Bronson]

It's like they're trying to lose:faf:

A real 2 finger salute to any travelling Liverpool fans, that.

[Scouse Hibee]

Has obviously decided it's a no win game anyway so has rested players ahead of the Chelsea game.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Why has Rodgers done this? Has he lost the plot? Scouse Hibee will be on valium :-D

[bingo70]

There cannae really be a guy called can can there?

[DH1875]

What happens if they get humped by 5 or 6? Would it just be shoved aside and forgot about?

[Scouse Hibee]

This team beat Swansea in the League cup, Real Madrid should be afraid, very afraid :greengrin

[Scouse Hibee]

That will be an improvement on what the so called first eleven would have achieved.........................maybe!

[Hibernia&Alba]

Resting players for the Chelsea game? You don't rest your best players away to Real Madrid in the Champions League. A thrashing tonight won't help their preparation for Chelsea. If this goes horribly wrong, Rodgers might look back with regret.

[Onceinawhile]

Swansea play in white and come from a different country. Real Madrid play in white and come from a different country..

It's a NAP.

The Bernabeu have giant heaters blowing down on the fans, i want them at ER for the colder months, get it sorted Dempster :agree:

It's absolutely roasting in the top tier because of them. Especially when you dress without expecting it.

Aye, and like they really need heaters in Madrid. They should all experience a Scottish winter, the big lassies.

i've saw a couple of players in our league with gloves on the last 2/3 weeks, it was the warmest October for yonks i believe

[Hibernia&Alba]

Liverpool are doing ok so far. A couple of scares but they look comfortable in possession.

[Sir David Gray]

1-0 Real, Benzema. :thumbsup:

[Hibernia&Alba]

Who needs heaters when you can pay £3 for cup of boiled water seasoned with beef stock to keep you warm!

[Onceinawhile]

Been impressed by moreno and can.

[Scouse Hibee]

Rodgers team selection a total 'Kop' out!;)

To be fair despite my initial disbelief, on reflection he has left out a host of players who have simply not performed over recent weeks and replaced them with players who have been on the sidelines waiting their chance and have rightly been given it. Rodgers has based his decisions on form not reputations and you can't really argue with that.

[Hibernia&Alba]

This Liverpool team has done much better than the so called full strength team did at Anfield against Real Madrid.

[hibee-boys]

Mission accomplished for Rodgers, damage limitation exercise. Set up team to stifle Madrid, not to win.

[Jonnyboy]

Watched and thoroughly enjoyed the Arsenal game, if only to witness Wenger storming off in a huff at full time :greengrin Joking apart, what a signing they've made in Alexis Sanchez :agree:

He's been like that since he started, a terrible loser, he's not nicknamed Arsene Whinger for nothing. Although probably why he's been such a success TBH.

Madrid is freezing in the winter. Can be a lot colder there than in Edinburgh. The snow can be mental at times. Add in the drop of temp from summer into winter and you soon get why they have heaters in Madrid.

Barely watched a Champions League game in about 3 years. Very dull with the same teams battling it out every year. They don't even have to worry about the 'nouveau riche' gatecrashing the party as Man City seem the masters of implosion in this competition.

Manchester's top football team struggling again and look to be heading out.

[blackpoolhibs]

Manchester City are as poor as i have seen them in years.

[Sir David Gray]

Manchester City down to 9 men.

[Pretty Boy]

Man Citu have lost the plot here.

Pellegrini must be worrying about his employment prospects now. Out the Champions League and a mountain to climb to retain their title.

Toure could have just cost pellegrini his job and cost the club millions in lost revenue. The ref has had a shocker though.

Get it ****ing right up you City.

This. Over £600 million spent since 2008, and that's now four successive failures in europe. Its both unacceptable and deeply satisfying.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Yes, tickets were BOGOF, yet still couldn't fill it. Why are they expanding a stadium they currently struggle to fill? There are always ticket offers at City e.g. kids for a fiver, but they're available for almost every game.

Most city fans will be back to supporting Chelsea this weekend.

[HappyAsHellas]

Does this mean that there are actually some United fans who stay in Manchester?

98% stay around London and beyond.

Remember being in a pub in Collyhurst (rough as **** btw) with a group of very much Mancunian Man Utd fans singing this little ditty:

We paid for their home
we paid for their home
what a waste of council tax
we paid for thei home

They don't even go
they don't even go
what a waste of council tax
they don't even go

There was another one along the lines of 'if you're from Manchester your're sure to be a blue, Moston, Collyhurst, Ancoats, Salford too. Well if you think this is true you're nothing but a fool because all over Manchester, United ****ing rule.'

Ironically I was down in Manchester to go to a City game. I wouldn't have fancied letting on about that in that pub though, or cracking jokes about Mancs not supporting United.

[SteveHFC]

Tom Cleverley has won more Champions League games than Manchester City have won in their entire history.

[Swedish hibee]

English teams not that good as they think :faf:

[Hibernia&Alba]

They are expanding the Empithad to 61,000. They have some of the cheapest season tickets in the EPL: I think adult prices start at £299, which is far cheaper than Hibs! Yet to regularly fill 61,000 seats, even with regular special offers, is something only a small number of clubs can do. They obviously believe it can be done, and at £299 for league games, perhaps it can; at least whilst the success continues.

My family are in Urmston and Salford, where United dominate. I know a few City fans - mostly good folk who are in enemy territory, but a couple of wallopers who will only ever refer to United as "Munichs". Their bitterness is without limits.

Thats what we did, we couldn't fill the stadium before expansion and still struggle to get half the capacity after expansion.

[Hibernia&Alba]

True, HC, and the fact we're down to crowds of around of 8K says a lot about the state were in. Hibs are much bigger than that. It will be along slog win people back and attract new attendees.

City fans are quite right to moan.

Under these rules it appears that artificially bloated teams like city are bad yet artificially bloated teams like real Madrid and Munich are alright.
It's just a big swiz that's designed to keep the teams who they think will get the biggest international tv ratings at the top of the game. It's denying the public some much needed fresh faces as people are going to get bored of the same old teams.
Maybe they should come up with ways for other teams to compete rather than put obstacles in their way. Big money is the only way right now as there are just too many domestic and foreign glory hunters who have grannies from Salford or Barcelona.

If they had their way then everyone would pick one of these dozen or so teams to support and we can just forget about the rest of them.

Banter like that isn't good but from a totally neutral point of view, it's the United fans that are generally sounding bitter.

The top tier involves City and Chelsea who are competing for the title and the rest are scrapping for the CL places. I'm not sure United people are handling the fact that the glory and razzmatazz belong to the blue half.

They need to stop making up daft songs, concentrate on their own matters and effect change. They have been cities bitches for a while now and if they're not careful they will remain small-time.

Good result for Dnipro, keeps the other bet going for the night.

I'll be back in a few weeks with enough money to bankroll us to success. :rolleyes:
