No question Kommander would have scored a goal or two.

But does Madrid even Press?? I watched the Juve game and they didn't do much of it. Juve dominated possession and got let down by scrubs like Costa and Higuain.

Getting pressed by 99 stamina freaks like Firmino and Goats like Milner. Would rather face DMzema and Ronaldo who do zero defensive work.

we have humiliated GUardiola teams' twice in two different years, and City are not any better than GUardiola's Bayern.

this is the arrogance of premfaces, you havent done anything but you talk as if you are a big deal lol.

does madrid even press? lol, we served cans of whoopass. please quiet, sit down, take that L and go home. i promise in September next year you will have the best team in the world trophy in the media until spring 2019 when real football heritage kicks in and you ass get whooped in CL again.

Wijnaldum as a 6 or Milner-Wij double pivot

If Pep can't get a win 2+ goal wins against that Midfield. He will forever be a certified Fraud in my mind. And I will put in my application to the Anti-Pep Movement. Hopefully Kaladin/ES and company can processes the application before the start of next season.

real football heritage, Please stop At least refer to it as Kommander Heritage. Before him where was the heritages when Madrid was getting eliminated by French Farmers in the round of 16 year in and year out??

Basically this was classic Pep trying to out smart himself again.

He's always constantly in fear of his team becoming too predictable so he makes ridiculous choices which almost always end up coming back to bite him.

It's the reason he bought Ibra, the reason he trying a 343 diamond at Barca and the reason he played Lahm in midfield.

But you will notice almost all of these things didn't actually work, so to tonight instead of going with what actually works he plays 3 CBs and drops Sterling ( a Moronic decision.)

What this meant was Liverpool could push up knowing only really Sane could punish them and they could squeeze the back 4 knowing they'd struggle to play through Liverpool and there was no outlet.

Seen people say Aguero was missing, but it's really a short sighted viewpoint. The real issue is the problematic choices which Pep which all led to playing right into Liverpool's hands.

He's still a great manager but everyone has flaws and this is his, he's an obsessive freak who quite frankly when the pressure is on overthinks things to the point of detriment to his team.

Maybe one day he'll learn that sticking to the tried and tested is sometimes better than thinking outside the box to try and counter the opposition.

You joke but that is actually true. It's the reason why Spurs, PSG have been constantly failing as well.

You need a strong team with mental characters. These teams are filled with mental midgets.
