Basel have sold Stocker/Salah/Sommer.

if Valencia could put 5 past them, I will fancy them even more :coffee:

by McAgger Thu Aug 28, 2014 6:32 pm

Well his transfer is still not official. Could stay still. Hopefully he does. Would be beautiful to see him get a deserved reception at Anfield.

Basel is a very tough team... don't count your chickens. As far as Liverpool chances against Madrid... Laughing

If we're already qualified as the first place team come the second leg, then you have a chance in that one.

by McAgger Thu Aug 28, 2014 6:34 pm

I agree Sportz Basel is tough. Pool and Basel will go through imo.

you've got to love these confident scousers Proud

when's the last time you faced Real? 1981 or something lol?

by McAgger Thu Aug 28, 2014 6:37 pm

We faced them in 2009-10 brah. 1-0 at Bernabeu. 4-0 at Anfield. Proud

Dat rape when even Torres scored.

We've faced Madrid 3 times in European Cup history. And we've beat them 3 times

Walk in the park this group imo

Oh absolutely, we'll smash those Madrid *bleep* like we always do

Lmao, we're going to destroy Pool. Ronaldo is going to have his way with your god awful defence, especially in wide areas.

Meh...decent group.Should finish first if PSG play Cavani on the wing as they will offer little threat on the counter.

Madrid get scrubs as usual, but IMO Pool haven't a good chance of finishing first.
Wouldnt be surprised if the best atmosphere in England leads them to a home win.

by Zealous Thu Aug 28, 2014 6:39 pm

McAgger if Madrid win you have to stop pretending to support Liverpool and come back home to Madridismo.

by McAgger Thu Aug 28, 2014 6:41 pm

Zeal, how many times have Madrid beaten Liverpool? rofl

Spoiler:

Why not? Basel have quite a good history playing against English teams. Kicked ManUtd out of the CL in 2011/12, defeated Spurs in a play off two years ago, won twice against Chelsea last CL group stage... So they will certainly not be afraid.

Last Basel - Liverpool meeting was in 2002/2003 and ended with two draws.

You weren't a Liverpool fan when that happened Laughing

In any case there have only ever been 3 encounters. I think the law of averages will eventually catch up lol

Bet them Pool fans are looking forward to Bale vs Johnson. Laughing

Is Philip Degan first choice for Basel

Still remember that 4-0 game. Torres, Gerrard and Babel were incredible that night. Probably Casillas best ever game.

by iftikhar Thu Aug 28, 2014 6:51 pm

When will they release the fixtures???

How can it be Johnson vs Bale when Bale plays RW?

Besides either one of Manquillo/Flanagan will be starters by then.

Can't wait for the re-match of the group stage in Berlin next June banana

Doesn't Bale play on the right? He'll get Moreno or Enrique. Enrique can put up a fight but Moreno is still very green.

Torres was a special player for about 10-12 years. Let's stop pretending his career was brief. Players decline early all the time.

Johnson is injured now and there's no way in hell he's ever getting back in to the team Proud

Though if he does play Ronaldo vs Johnson would be hilarious. Laughing

by Gil Thu Aug 28, 2014 6:54 pm

Can't wait for Sturridge to rape Ramos. Been dreaming about this day for about 5 years now.

He was indeed. his peak was immense. Unbelievably deadly. big game player that could win you a game in a split second.
